43. You and I are on the same page. My feelings as well. Rice is well positioned

Mar 2020

for the role of "Assistant President", having worked with Biden in the Obama administration. There is a high probability of "simpatico" as Biden put it. She brings a strong foreign policy portfolio to the VPOTUS rank which is vital given the devastation wrought to the global order by Trump, Putin and the rise of international 'strong men". I don't see being a political novice as a weakness for Rice, particularly as Biden is long in the elective/political/legislative suits.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Now you've got me hopeful! CTyankee Mar 2020 #17

Has she ever run for office? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #21
