No one is better equipped for saving the country from Republican shitshows.

Let the man rest.

It's not like he is seventy years old, is it?

The voters have spoken.
Progressives didn't do well.

We are in a different world since Jan.-Feb. 2020, and we will be in a far worse world in Jan. 2021. Extreme times call for bold actions.

That's one view.

He's inheriting a hollowed out government. Plus the GOP will be blaming him on January 22nd

is my Dream Team.

We decided that we want moderate Biden, not "progressive" Sanders nor Warren.

Warren should not be a heart beat away from the president via a back door.

Personally I'm hope Warren can stay in the Senate where she kicks ass on the banking committee maybe she can disinfect Moscow's Mitch's speaker's seat?

We need to show how dynamic we can be.

There are a good number of VP choices for Biden to look over (or that aren't Senators from states with a Republican governor.)

The dems have veto proof control of the legislature. They will do what they did with dukakis. It will go to special election, and as long as we don't run the same failed candidate again we will keep the seat.

Besides, many other candidates for VP without Warren's risk for the seat.

P.S. Sorry about Brady. Talk about bad timing. Maybe he should become a spokesperson for flu protocols? Guys would actually listen to HIS advice.

He is a friend and supporter of trump in addition to being a cheat and general asswipe.

But, yeah, to heck with him.

than Elizabeth Warren. Biden/Warren would be an unbeatable ticket and would appeal to both progressive and moderate voters. We need everyone to vote in November. Not just the middle of the party.

Actually, we have many qualified candidates for VP.

Too early to settle on one.

Jim Clyburns heartfelt endorsement was seismic, typically endorsements don't carry as much weight in the grand scheme of elections, something unprecedented happened after Clyburn's endorsement that will be used in future studies.

As much as I appreciate senator Warren for the work she does, she has a BIG negative, it was her inability to gain traction with black voters, particularly black women voters.

There's an undeniable truth, it's that the "heart & soul" of the democratic party is it's black women voters, no other democratic voter constituency is more reliable. It would seem to me that by choosing senator Warren, Biden could risk alienating black voters, who without them he would have been written off had it not been for an endorsement for the ages.

I don't mean to suggest that Biden simply choose a black woman, I mean that he be very deliberate looking over the best qualified candidates to choose from, but to keep in mind that to reach the WH he can't get there without the Heart & Soul taking him there.

She would make a great VP but I think he will go for someone younger.

Senate Majority Leader when he loses everything. That's my hope.

We already know that Republicans do their best to suppress the vote. My biggest fear is that Trump will use this health emergency as an excuse to take even more steps to suppress the vote so that he can stay in power.

is my fear too. I just can't get too excited even though I am happy Biden is in the seat as a candidate.I just have to hold my peace for now until this mess is over the hump.

But I hope Biden goes with her. She is exactly the kind of person that we need right now.

start somewhere

Simone Sanders

And heavy lifting of drafting legislation - yes! We need Warren. I’m glad Joe knows that about her and I hope he goes with it. I also think Obama would recommend Warren as the pick.

One less Democratic senator, replaced by a Republican one, is not acceptable.

and know what needs to be done.

And her qualifications are?

"Progressive" policies will required a Senate willing to pass the legislation. I think we forget that the Dems in the Senate are fairly centrist if we're using the new definition of "progressive".

If we're talking a rising stock market, lowering unemployment, rising wages, yes, sure, Centrism works.

But that's not the world that Biden is walking in to. That world will be in smoldering ruins. The last thing that you want to do is balance the budget and cut spending when the house is charred ruin.

We see nothing wrong in him being "pulled to the center." And, yes, budget will be the top issue.

Oh, in case you forgot, moderates flipped the House last year.

This virus is causing a global economic disruption and massive displacement. The world that we knew five months ago is gone. Everything has changed. Things that we have taken for granted may no longer be there. For example, our healthcare work force may be overwhelmed, and that will cause cascading health issues. Emergency services for other maladies may be unavailable.

Our educational system may be in chaos as the normal education matriculation has been disrupted. Entire industries may go under. There is already massive unemployment which then means massive defaults on loans.

So, i need you to understand that the old politics are gone. We are in a crazy new world, and the U.S. budget is the very last thing that we need to be worried about. The very last thing.
