Stacey can relate to Americans.. She writes books Americans buy. She's brilliant, funny, and 100% qualified. Leave our female Senators in the Senate and our Reps in the House. They're doing a great job. Stacey would be governor of Georgia in a fair election and we all know it.

Stacey Abrams for Vice President!!!!

(Stacey Abrams served in the Georgia House of Representatives)

Joe Biden has said that if he becomes president in this year's election, he would need to appoint a vice president capable of taking over the job at a moment's notice in case he dies while in office.

'But for me, it has to be demonstrated that whoever I pick is two things: One, is capable of being president because I'm an old guy,' the 77-year-old Biden said.

'No, I'm serious. Look, I thank God I'm in great health. I work out. No, I'm serious. You know, I work out every morning. I'm in good shape — knock on wood, as my mother would say,' Biden said.

'But you never know. You never know what's going on. And I'm sure what would happen is I have — some people looking would say, 'Is the person Biden picked capable of, God forbid something happened to Biden, that they would be able to take over immediately?'

along with other criteria such as: Can she help flip a swing state, will she help energize African American and women voters, will she help attract progressives?

"Democracy, humanity and whether or not we die." Yup, that's all. I really enjoyed this clip. The piece about pandering versus having a meaningful conversation is especially poignant. Stacey Abrams is amazing. Thanks for sharing, Dem4Life1102!

Does anybody really think that Stacey couldn’t perform admirably as President, if something happened to Joe? Remember, she would have a working Government around her.

as a rep. How is it that the Republicans haven't made everyone passionate believers in the need for competence in very high office? Yes, she would be infinitely preferable to Trump, but anyone merely dreadfully inadequate would be.

I voted happily for Stacey for governor because she's a Democrat, and being black and female would have been nice plusses if we could have gotten her elected, but wanting her for president is completely off the table.

Never has.

power, being someone who can't take a single well-meaning and well-thought-out step without crushing people underfoot, follows being elected. Remember?

You'll notice if you look, that most of the time sensible voters manage to weed out not just whackjobs and other incompetents but responsible, respected people who don't meet whatever minimum thresholds are in their minds. And Democratic voters always do.

Obama's experience was pretty darned minimal compared to his predecessors, we don't normally elect senators directly to the presidency, but we were already in new social media times, he had been a soaring star at whatever he'd turned his hand to, and he was at least a congressman and then briefly U.S. senator who dealt with national issues. And we didn't elect him as a first step to lowering the bar a few notches further.

But speaking in just shallow politically opportunistic terms, not caring about actual governance, Stacey Abrams is not even close to being the reassuring backup we need to offer America, someone people believe could become a real president a month after taking office, the way Roosevelt's VP had to.

If it did Clinton would be President. Obama would have lost to McCain. Gore would have beaten Bush.

And at this point any experience argument only benefits Tump.

I'm out and will just leave you with this:

to draw on. Don't deny. It's not too much to say that foolish decisions could kill your or dreadfully blight your life. What we're up against has revealed itself in so many way.

Stay well by being voting smart.

Just as any argument regarding Biden’s age will benefit Trump.

I don't know what you imagine you gained in this. I didn't gain a half turn on a screw.

The argument needs to be competence and policy over experience.

She was a member of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2007 to 2017, including time as the house minority leader from January 10, 2011 – July 1, 2017.

She has an exceptional education, including a law degree from Yale, in addition to a wide range of business experience and private sector consulting.

We don't live in our TVs. A recognizable face and name are still her biggest assets, and since she turned down running for senator, they qualify her at this time to seek work as a pundit and for what she chose -- to cut her own path as an activist for voting rights.

She'll make a real difference at that or she won't. If she were given a portfolio to work from within the Biden administration, i.e., endowed with that much of the president's power, she could really happen.
