Susan Rice would be fabulous! leftieNanner Apr 2020 #8

if the Rethugs still control the Senate after 2020, they will never confirm Rice as SoS, it will be Celerity Apr 2020 #42

Susan Rice would give the repukes a chance to resurrect Benghazi, Benghazi and Benghazi. Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #73

Very good point leftieNanner Apr 2020 #89

2 senate seats in Georgia means Stacey Abrams would not be a bad pick jcgoldie Apr 2020 #9

I love Stacy but we need a more experienced VP based on Biden's age. Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #74

Stop repeating GOP talking points Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #76

That fact is realistically the VP matters when a candidate is above 70...I think the VP will be Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #124

It is a GOP talking point Dem4Life1102 Apr 2020 #127

Kamala Harris has high net favorability ratings among African American voters... PunkinPi Apr 2020 #96

I don't know what would be best honestly. I don't see Biden picking Harris but I could certainly be Demsrule86 Apr 2020 #122

Her "baggage" as a prosecutor won't hurt her in the general. nt pnwmom Apr 2020 #107

It's up to people to research it and stop spreading rumors brush Apr 2020 #61

I agree. As much as I like Warren, it should be a WOC. Laffy Kat Apr 2020 #13

Really? Renew Deal Apr 2020 #19

Why outside of the House? nt Laffy Kat Apr 2020 #30

House experience is more limited than Senate Renew Deal Apr 2020 #33

Biden has blue collar and union appeal that works well in the Midwest. brush Apr 2020 #53

Gun regulation is 1 thing. She was one of the ppl responsible for the quasi ban on new firearms in GusFring Apr 2020 #109

How many guns do you need? brush Apr 2020 #110

I only have 1. But I would definitely get a few more if I didn't have to pick 1 off some dumb roster GusFring Apr 2020 #111
