You say no, why is that? Kamala is rockstar in our party! That's a powerful ticket for her and Biden, and a fun ticket too!

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Undecided
Joe will win both California and African Americans if he's the nominee. Easily. BusyBeingBest Mar 2020 #1
No. A minority woman should be on the ticket. No one should ever pnwmom Mar 2020 #5
I agree. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #11
No one's taking them for granted. Most voters care about what you DO BusyBeingBest Mar 2020 #12
Millions of women and minority people care very much about being represented pnwmom Mar 2020 #19
I think the decision has to make the most sense politically, all factors being weighed-- BusyBeingBest Mar 2020 #28
You'd think. "Big picture" matters. Too many are just short sighted. nt oldsoftie Mar 2020 #59

African American women did not support Kamska. I remember helpisontheway Mar 2020 #49

Who did you have for Hillary's cabinet? Sneederbunk Mar 2020 #3
I was very surprised by Tim Kaine. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #6
I wanted Tom Vilsack to be VP. And if not him then Xavier Becerra. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #17
Tom is great and Xavier would have been a brilliant choice. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #18

Kamala Harris is my number 1 pick as Joe's VP. Sloumeau Mar 2020 #10
She's a shoe in for AG. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #13
Liz for HHS or education. Kamala for AG. GemDigger Mar 2020 #14
I think Abrams should also be tapped for the cabinet, but not for VP (yet.) Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #15
I agree with you mcar Mar 2020 #27
Kamala knew Beau Biden when they were both attorney general of their states Walleye Mar 2020 #29
It's interesting the opportunity that Joe Biden has. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #34
I think it's great. We have so many talented people Walleye Mar 2020 #39
I am curious why Kamala hasn't endorsed anyone still_one Mar 2020 #30
That's a good point. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #32
In my view neutral is not going to bring anyone together, and i would argue that still_one Mar 2020 #35
Most people will not dive into the weeds. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #38
It will be Harris, or Abrams... Outside chance for Beto JCMach1 Mar 2020 #31
I still love Beto so much, JCMach1 Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #33
Why I put Harris first on the list JCMach1 Mar 2020 #37
I agree, I think Warren is a dark horse. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #42
I suspect you like Beto because of his charisma, and Obama-Kennedy-Clinton ability to reach a crowd still_one Mar 2020 #41
Yes, its that, but it's also the Birdseye view as well. Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #43
I agree still_one Mar 2020 #45
Beto could be Kamala's VP in 2024 Walleye Mar 2020 #46
If we work this right, we could get the White House for 12 years Walleye Mar 2020 #40
From your lips! After Trump, we should have the next century! Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #44
Secretary of Education - Elizabeth Warren walkingman Mar 2020 #55
If she left Mass do you think that we could hold that senate seat? Firebrand Gary Mar 2020 #58
Good point - I guess I just assumed that Mass would elect another Democrat. I need to read a little. walkingman Mar 2020 #60
