As my friend says ... if Biden, Warren or Sanders let a crooked fart, the media is all over the story.

Amy is great-competant, sensible. She could win for sure.

My assertion is based on data. Who votes overwhelmingly for Democrats? Black females.

They deserve a nod and we need to motivate every African-American voter to go to the polls possible.

When you consider the % of the vote that black females are, it doesn't make sense to select a black female VP based on that alone; black voters are going to vote democratic regardless. We need someone who can win votes in battleground states and appeal to moderates/undecided voters. There just isn't a black female candidate who can do that right now.

Voters in Milwaukee, Detroit, and Philly must turn out. We need to swing 78K voters across those 3 states to rebuild the Blue Wall and motivating POC is one sure way to do it.

Chances are a white male will already be on the ticket anyway.
