Looks like he'll be picking a black female VP. Still waiting for a possible Michael Obama announcement.
Biden narrows list of VP contenders, ex-Obama adviser Susan Rice among them
Presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden has narrowed his reported list of vice presidential contenders who will be part of the second round of vetting, with several black women in contention, The Associated Press reported Friday.
Democrats “with knowledge of the process†told the AP that Biden’s search committee has whittled its search down to six serious contenders after the first round of interviews.
The list includes two of Biden’s former opponents in the Democratic primary: Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Kamala Harris of California. Susan Rice, President Obama’s national security adviser, is also on the list.
Florida Rep. Val Demings and Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, both of whom are black, are being looked at for the position, along with New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.
The list remains fluid, however, according to insiders, and additional candidates could be asked to submit to the extensive document review process of top contenders.............

Get real. Slow Joe is trying to figure out which finger to pick his nose with,if anything.
Somebody on his staff is doing the picking,and I doubt he even knows which one it is.

I think that's the general consensus; Biden won't be Prez for very long, or he'll step down right after the convention.

Yeah, if we as a country are stupid enough to elect a declared Democrat.

We already did. His name is Donald Trump
When Donald Trump Was a Democrat
It turns out you don't have to look far to find evidence that Trump wasn't always a conservative Republican. Trump was registered as a Democrat for more than eight years in the 2000s, according to New York City voter records made public during his campaign for president in 2016.
Trump owned up to his years with the other party and told CNN's Wolf Blitzer in 2004 that he identified with Democrats during that time because they were more adept at handling the economy:
"It just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn't be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats....But certainly we had some very good economies under Democrats, as well as Republicans. But we've had some pretty bad disasters under the Republicans."
Trump was a registered Democrat from August 2001 through September 2009.

So you know where Trump economic policies come from.

Sanders quiet exit came with a price for Biden. I can almost guarantee a far far left candidate.
The good news is, whoever this person is will be great campaign cannon fodder for an election where the population is not ready to be like Venezuala.

@Chosen Daughter Nice hijack.

@Chosen Daughter
CD ....this isn't 2016. I hate to put you on the spot, but give us a solution, because here are the scenarios:
1. We all coalesce around Trump, though many may not like him. Biden is not elected.
2. GOP and conservatves are splintered, and some either don't vote or vote 3rd party. Biden is elected.
Now, without any static, or deflection, please explain how scenario 2 is better than 1? Or am I missing a Scenario No. 3?

Oh ban me if I can't even answer a question honestly. No big deal.
You removed my post? It was an honest answer to a question. Unbelievable.
Unfortunately now @catfish1957 will not get the answer he deserves for his question. I am sure I will not put the effort to try and make my answer meet your agenda.
Continue on with biteme.

It got removed because it's off topic. Arguing with Moderators about it is off topic. Playing victim is off topic.
Take the hint.

My Country, 'Tis of Thee Lyrics
written by Samuel Francis Smith
My country, 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing;
Land where my fathers died,
Land of the pilgrims' pride,
From ev'ry mountainside
Let freedom ring!
My native country, thee,
Land of the noble free,
Thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
Thy woods and templed hills;
My heart with rapture thrills,
Like that above.
Let music swell the breeze,
And ring from all the trees
Sweet freedom's song;
Let mortal tongues awake;
Let all that breathe partake;
Let rocks their silence break,
The sound prolong.
Our fathers' God to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing.
Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's holy light,
Protect us by Thy might,
Great God our King.
Lets just say @catfish1957 that @Cyber Liberty removing my post is the reason I won't vote for Trump. Honest discussion is not welcome.

It wasn't. It was how I feel. I answered honestly. Ban me.
I asked to have my membership removed a long time ago. If this is censorship for Conservatives I am not interested. Remove my membership immediately. Thank you.

Yup,she is his handler.
I'm not even sure Biden even understands he is running for President anymore.
I am sure he is not taking part in any of the discussions about his running mate,though.

Does she have big boobs,and how does she feel about being groped by a senile old white guy?
Those are the required qualifications,right?

There is a scenario 3. KEEP THE SENATE and play defense for a few years. This is the realistic plan for survival.

The only problem I have with that is to let Biteme win would give him the coat tails to capture the Senate. They only need a couple of seats, and the GOP has over twice as many seats to defend this Election. Allowing the Big Chair to be lost is a lock on losing the Senate, and where would we be when they decide to just end all Filibusters?
Your suggestion is too clever by half.

By that measure, Abrams gets it, uh...hands down.

It will not be Warren or Harris. Both states are sure things for the Dems.
It will not be Susan Rice either, for she lives in Washington, DC I believe.
So who? My first pick is Val Demings. If the Dems take Florida, I would say they have a genuine lead in the race on election night. Mayor Jance Bottoms is tied to the former mayor, who is facing corruptions charges, so I doubt it will be her. Stacey Abrams is a no for a number of reasons, starting with the fact she is a kook! Abrams would have been better off running for senator to get national visibility.
And then there is HRC, who I believe will be the S U R P R I S E coming out of the convention as the Dem candidate. Between now and the close of the convention, something will happen to Slo Joe. My guess, he will have what they call a minor stroke, and he withdraws from the nomination. Hillary immediately fills the void, and all the Dems will be ecstatic. It will be Hillary and who? I say it will be Castro if she is the candidate for the Dems. He might be able to land Texas, which would be huge!
TRUMP/PENCE vs CLINTON/CASTRO

Lol, conservatives need not apply. Roy Moore was roundly hated here... while Conservative in Name Only Brett Kavanaugh was defended as a saving grace.
