Who is his running mate?

He's already stated he will choose a woman. Who's the "lucky" gal?

I think he actually said a black woman, which leads everyone to Abrams, but she is from Georgia and he doesn't need help there. Obama won't do it, she wants nothing to do with politics.
I really think Amy if she gets him Michigan or Ohio.
I expect polling to start that asks if she helps him in any of the battleground states.
Long shot, Tlaib if she gets him Michigan. Of course, there will be a lot of polling first to see how badly she hurts him in other states. Let's be honest, his choice is extremely significant. The chance of him surviving all 4 years, considering his health...

I just went to the Bernie question and saw Nina Turner, and didn't know who she is. So I looked her up. She could be a candidate that helps in Ohio and Michigan. They would strongly look at that. They are definitely going to be playing an electoral game in that choice.
As I am typing this, it dawns on me that Kasich is a super long shot but would make an interesting ticket in an electoral college game.
 
Tulsi is a woman of color and she would absolutely lock down the moderate vote.

Given the choice of Trump/Pence or Biden/Gabbard, I'd have a hard time choosing. Now if Trump were to dump Pence for Nikki Haley things get interesting.

If he chooses Klobuchar he essentially just gave it to Trump. Biden isn't strong enough on his own, picking zero personality Klobuchar doesn't work in most places.

VPs have very little influence on elections. Warren actually has a lot of power at the moment because if she pulled out and endorsed Bernie most of her votes would go his way while staying in or endorsing Biden keeps more votes away from Bernie. The worst she could do to Bernie is stay in race until next debate and go after Bernie. She can’t help her own chances but an attack on either candidate would severely damage them.

I disagree. I didn't vote for McCain because of Palin. That vice presidential selection is important, some people disregard it because they're straight ticket voters and the Republican or Democratic Party could run a poodle and they'd still vote for that party.

I don't operate that way, I look at all the variables.

If Bernie or Biden choose Stacy Abrams, Elizabeth Warren, or Hillary Clinton as their running mate, that's a big strike against them. I'm not "anti-woman", but I'm anti-anti-token woman just to appeal to the "woke" crowd.

I would bet a zillion dollars that no one is going to take Damascus Tulsi as their VP

It feels like he's going to have to choose someone a bit younger than he is, but also someone with a bit of experience. It's a bit of a fool's errand to guess who that might be, but it starts to shade against people like Warren (old) or Buttigieg (too inexperienced)

Warren won fewer votes than Bloomberg, and it stands to reason that even if she had stayed in, some of her followers would have defected to the big two. Her campaign had the stench of death.

I hear Val Demmings is on the list.
 
Super Tuesday did it's job? Looks like Bernie and his insane fringe has been stopped. Biden won 10 of 14 states?
Good to know the minorities in South rejected Socialism and MFA. I hope the Green New Deal is dead too. I have to admit, I'd like Biden if he would stump smarter stuff. He wouldn't get a sniff if not for Obama.
I think Biden is vulnerable once he attacks Trump. At least voters know everything about Trump already.
The debates will be great. Both have trouble pronouncing words. It'll be like the Swedish Chef from the Muppets versus Chewbacca.

According to this weeks talk, we must have a woman.
When I hear garbage candidates like Warren blame their own party for the results on sexism, it's just too funny.

Yeah, the notion that some Russian company spent 100K and changed the election while 700B didn't move the needle is fully exposed as fallacy.

Biden told the audience: “Turn this primary into a campaign that’s about negative attacks into one about what we’re for. Because we cannot, get reelect. We cannot win this reelection. Excuse me, we can only reelect Donald Trump if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad. It’s gotta be a positive campaign.”

Again Biden told the audience:
1.) Because we cannot, get reelect.
2.) We cannot win this reelection.
3.) Excuse me, we can only reelect Donald Trump – if in fact we get engaged in this circular firing squad

I’m sorry, but my lord this is bad...
Later on Sunday Washington Post tech policy reporter Cat Zakrzewski published an article where she accused the Trump administration of posting a “deceptively edited video” that was shared by President Trump and Dan Scavino.
Cat Zakrzewski at The Washington Post then goes on to selectively edit Joe Biden’s gaffe in her article.
 
I almost cannot stand to hear Biden in person if he is talking off script, he just stutters and stammers cannot talk in a complete sentence, he seems to be at a lose for his next word. I am embarrassed for him.

I don't know if he can go toe to toe with Trump in a debate, he has yet to win any of the democratic debates or look like he wanted to be there.

The prefect storm for Biden has arrived to undue Trump. The kung fu virus, Trumps idiotic tweets about the virus trying to reassure as it rapidly infects, the media making panic and hey I'm good ole Joe, while the economy tanking.
Hey I'm Joe, remember Obama? let me handle this virus situation, and the economic outlook is terrible.
It's a great strategy.
