- The media seemingly uses Abrams name to get people's attention from time to time. I can tell you out here she's little more than someone who lost once -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 07:33 5
  - That’s my thought on her too. - Will Hunting Apr 28, 07:36 4
    - agreed. I don't mind her ambition, but I'd like to see more of a resume. -- nm - Diva Apr 28, 07:39 3
      - Somewhere between "nobody" and "second coming of Jesus," the truth lies. -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 08:04 2
        
        probably a little closer to Famous Potatoes. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Apr 28, 08:05 1
        
        *long-distance high five* -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 08:12
- Also thats all she seems she wants to do - eag Apr 28, 07:21
- Warren, or if we simply must not her, Harris. -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 07:14 29
  - I’d lean Harris/Klobuchar/Warren. - Will Hunting Apr 28, 07:19 28
    - Isn't it nuts the qualifications Dems place on picking a running mate vs. what Repubs want? We want someone with experience, who isn't 'scary' and - Diva Apr 28, 07:35 5
      - Pence was supposed to be the experienced grown up to help Trump. -- nm - pmb Apr 28, 07:43 2
        
        He's also a hateful homophobe. There's the contrast I'm referring to. -- nm - Diva Apr 28, 07:49
        
        Well, the most craven and desperate of the adults. - Will Hunting Apr 28, 07:46
      - though none of the floated names are worrying to me - Reagen Apr 28, 07:40 1
        
        Absolutely. I'm mostly comparing and contrasting requirements. -- nm - Diva Apr 28, 07:45
    - Multiple polls have Warren being the top choice for Dems, particularly progressives. - Reagen Apr 28, 07:20 21
      - My only issue would be the age of the ticket Biden is 78 and Warren is 70 -- nm - eag Apr 28, 07:30
      - i'd rather have her working in the senate than be VP. she'll be far more effective there. -- nm - colin Apr 28, 07:28 9
        
        Yeah, I think she's great, but I think VP is a waste of her skills. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:39 6
        
        I think she's a better voice in the senate, but I don't think VP is the ceremonial job it used to be. And I do think a big part of the job is - pmb Apr 28, 07:42 4
        
        As Mel puts it, the Cheney administration was very impactful. -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 07:54
        
        VP isn't useless, but she could be so much more effective in the Senate, IMO -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:52 2
        
        That said, I don't think she stays in the Senate either way. If not VP, she's likely in the Cabinet. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:53 1
        
        I just want them to be careful about taking senators out of the senate to fill cabinet posts. Priority has to be on getting (or hopefully keeping) a - pmb Apr 28, 08:32
        
        unless Biden were to have an... accident ;) -- nm - colin Apr 28, 07:41
        
        Veep breaks ties in the Senate -- nm - con_carne Apr 28, 07:30 1
        
        sure. but any VP biden has in office will do that. -- nm - colin Apr 28, 07:32
      - I get that. I think the more visible she is, the less you win in the middle. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Apr 28, 07:23
      - Nonetheless, I'm still not convinced its the most effective role for her, unless she gets a substantial domestic policy brief to go along with it. - znufrii, silly old man Apr 28, 07:23
      - I think that group votes for Biden with or without Warren though. -- nm - ty97 Apr 28, 07:22 7
        
        I don't think VP is ever make or break, tbh. -- nm - Reagen Apr 28, 07:27 6
        
        I think it can break a candidate, but probably never makes one. Sarah Palin anyone? -- nm - bacon Apr 28, 07:28 5
        
        McCain would have lost anyway but she didnt help -- nm - eag Apr 28, 07:32 4
        
        For the first two to three weeks she did. If she's a halfway passable qualified pol, she helps that ticket more than she hurts. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 28, 07:51 3
        
        Yep. She helped raise a metric eff-ton of money for that campaign. It was later when it was revealed that she was a moron that she started to - Diva Apr 28, 07:55 2

        It still amazes me how little vet they did. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Apr 28, 08:22
