Should Biden name his running mate as soon as he announces?

Jazz Shaw Posted at 9:21 am on March 19, 2019

So I take it that by now we’re all assuming that Joe Biden is going to get into the race and it’s only a question of when he decides to announce. That seems to be the prevailing wisdom around Washington, anyway. So rather than waiting for him to make it official, we’ve moved on to the question of who is running mate will be and how soon we’ll know that. Ignoring for the moment the rather aggressive assumption the question is based on (candidates generally wait until they’ve actually secured the nomination before making that choice), The Hill reports that Biden may be thinking of naming his pick almost immediately.



    Former Vice President Joe Biden, who is expected to soon launch a bid for the presidency, is reportedly considering selecting a running mate early in his campaign.

    Citing Democrats familiar with Biden’s plans, CNN reported the possibility on Monday. An aide told the network that naming a running mate early would help Biden keep the focus on the Democratic goal of defeating President Trump in the general election.

    Biden has discussed the possibility in conversations with advisers as well as with top Democrats and elected officials, according to CNN.

Exactly.  Give your opponents an extra year to pick your VPOTUS pick apart.

If I were a betting man, and considering that Biden is the most calculating of the bunch, I would put my money on a fake 'unity' ticket with someone like Romney.

If Biden gets it he will be forced to appease the whacko ultra left wing.  I'd bet on Beto, Castro,  or Warren.

I actually don't think the old school of that side really take them seriously. They would rather reign them in than give them a bigger platform (except Beto, I believe they seem him as a 'moderate' (obviously not) and Obama-esque)).

Drudge had up on his webpage that O'Rourke brought in more donations on his first day than Bernie, Something like 6.5 million to 6.2 million....and I mention this in that O'Rouke is the natural choice for Biden but O'Rourke may have some momentum at that afterall.  Hard to fathom that a close to do-nothing representative might have a real shot.

   38 Texas Electoral College votes could be the sweetener Beto brings to Biden's ticket, just as LBJ did for Kennedy.

Beto thinks he is the one, so it will not be him for an early selection.

And it will not be Biden.  He will get buried by many.  He lacks something now, just like he lacked something when he ran before.  Then there is the leech factor, which the Democommies will use against him.  He will be lucky to make it to Iowa.

And then there is HRC.  When she announces, everyone else goes to the back of the bus.  Story over.

Joe Biden/Kamala Harris could win.  Gets older voters/gets younger voters/Harris gets the women, men just like Biden.  Some, not many, Republicans not voting for Trump could move to Biden/Harris since they are not the ultra left socialists other Dems are.  Most Republicans not voting for Trump, skip that president box which takes votes from Trump even if they don't vote Dem and few will vote Dem.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

@sneakypete

You are correct Uncle Joe is/becoming senile.  No one will be allowed to say it, just like no one can say, without getting flack, Trump has a mental disorder.  There are very few people who stay glued on politics on the net.  They are working, coming home, eating, talking to spouse/kids, etc., not on the net writing/reading about politics.  They will become interested in politics a few weeks, mostly two/three weeks, before the election. They will not know Uncle Joe is lacking now in brain power, so will vote for him since he is Uncle Joe, a nice calm guy when compared to constantly freaking out Trump, plus there is a woman for Vice-President (assuming it is Harris) and she is not nuts like the other women candidates.  A nice, calm President/Vice-President. 

I am making the above observation based on years of study of voter behavior and the addition of a president who keeps the country on edge due to constant tweeting.  Citizens want a government they don't have to think about - they made their choice of their representative/senator/president and they don't want to be bothered again until the next election.  Even local/national news stations have to report what Trump is tweeting that day, and most voters don't want to hear it - they want to be left alone since they can't do anything about it, until the next election.

The truth is you want a RINO president that likes to go to church and thump his bible. People like that make you feel safe because you buy into the illusion they are selling.

If you were to ever actually stop and think about it,that illusion is why we are losing the nation and our freedoms.

I'm hoping for a President that can speak in complete sentences.  It's a lot to ask I know.

No, Pete, I said: "I am making the above observation based on years of study of voter behavior and the addition of a president who keeps the country on edge due to constant tweeting."  I did not say what kind of president I want so your comment, "The truth is you want a RINO president that likes to go to church and thump his bible", is your thought/comment, not mine.  Also, a person who believes in God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit, is not automatically a RINO - that is what you believe.  A belief in God does not make a person weak and ineffectual; it makes the person stronger in truth and fair.

Harris is the clear choice - she trades a long shot 2020 for front runner status in 2024 whether they win or lose. I think that's the only way Biden gets 0bama's support and without it he's toast.
