He needs someone who has gotten a lot of good publicity during the campaign. Klobuchar would help in the Midwest, too. Finally, in 2024 or 2028, she will have gained some executive branch experience to go with her Senate experience. She has been a Senator as long as Bernie has.

I think she's the logical VP choice, actually. There's a position on Biden's cabinet for Buttgieg, too. I don't know what it is. And, then there's Elizabeth Warren. I'm thinking she would be a really, really good Treasury Secretary, you know. I wonder if she'd like to do that for the next four years?

Harris? Well, let's see....she was Attorney General of California, now, wasn't she? That sounds really interesting, doesn't it?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
I don't expect that. MineralMan Mar 2020 #1
Why Amy? She was back and forth in my #1 pick with Warren. But if not Harris, LizBeth Mar 2020 #4

It's this thinking that cost Hillary squirecam Mar 2020 #25
This isn't 2016, Biden is not Clinton, and such conclusions are meaningless LongtimeAZDem Mar 2020 #26
