We do not need two moderates on the ticket, especially two white moderates. LonePirate Mar 2020 #2

That is not what he wants. squirecam Mar 2020 #4

Evidently what he wants and what the party needs are two different things. LonePirate Mar 2020 #6

The party will vote for Joe. squirecam Mar 2020 #7

I like her a lot but not on a ticket with Joe. He needs a woman of color, IMHO. pnwmom Mar 2020 #3

You pick the best person for the job. squirecam Mar 2020 #5

And there's no black females suitable for the job? Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #8

Don't put words into my mouth. squirecam Mar 2020 #9

Harris is an excellent choice who-- on a ticket with Joe-- would excite voters all over the country. pnwmom Mar 2020 #13

I disagree squirecam Mar 2020 #15

I know LOTS of moderate suburban women in the midwest, pnwmom Mar 2020 #29

I agree that we need more ethnic diversity on our presidential/vice-presidential tickets. StevieM Mar 2020 #81

Wrong. People of color are the backbone of our party and need to see themselves pnwmom Mar 2020 #11

Joe will have a diverse administration. squirecam Mar 2020 #12

Not the same. nt pnwmom Mar 2020 #14

Luckily you will vote for him anyway. squirecam Mar 2020 #16

Joe already has their votes. Mme. Defarge Mar 2020 #22

Enthusiasm matters. If he wants numbers of black voters like Obama had, pnwmom Mar 2020 #28

Moderate suburban women love Biden. We don't need the female version of Biden pnwmom Mar 2020 #41

It is absurd to suggest that women love Biden more than AA voters. squirecam Mar 2020 #48

Moderate suburban women are the ones I'm referring to -- not all women. Most of the women pnwmom Mar 2020 #60

Why is choosing the best person not enough for you? squirecam Mar 2020 #61

Because I don't think being from Minnesota makes her the best person nt pnwmom Mar 2020 #62

That is one thing. squirecam Mar 2020 #63

It should be a woman of color and there are a number of them who are very qualified pnwmom Mar 2020 #64

I believe Klobuchar is the most qualified. I hate that the pundits are DEMANDING... Kahuna7 Mar 2020 #17

A woman VP of any color is historic. squirecam Mar 2020 #18

Indeed. nt Kahuna7 Mar 2020 #19

I'd go with that. Kingofalldems Mar 2020 #20

Swing voters do not like aggressive women who point fingers while debating Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #21

All of this. squirecam Mar 2020 #23

Biden is already appealing to moderate women Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #26

Biden already brings the AA vote. squirecam Mar 2020 #32

So did Clinton but not in the numbers needed Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #68

But he hasn't announced a VP choice. If he chooses someone spooky3 Mar 2020 #34

Of course... Sugarcoated Mar 2020 #84

1) Biden already has the AA vote, and Mme. Defarge Mar 2020 #24

While you make some good points Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #33

Look at her chart. squirecam Mar 2020 #36

Biden has given his requirements. squirecam Mar 2020 #30

Minnesota is not a swing state Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #37

They are already energized. squirecam Mar 2020 #46

Or, why should women be ruled out on the basis of skin color? Nt spooky3 Mar 2020 #52

Not ruling any woman out based on skin color. squirecam Mar 2020 #54

No, I know you aren't; the poster to whom you replied spooky3 Mar 2020 #58
