Again?
Joe Biden should pick someone he’s comfortable with and can trust…
My choice IS Klobuchar 1st…Harris 2nd….
Under NO circumstances should Biden pick Warren….
She would cost the party a US Senate seat..
And I would be worried she’d have her OWN agenda…
The recurring question is?
Does Joe Biden actually need a black some VP?
I think NOT…
With the support form blacks he already has and his former boss campaigning for him?
He doesn’t need Harris…

The continual efforts to saddle Biden with Sanders policy agenda is WRONG….
Joe Biden can win the November election in the middle….
He IS a bipartisan guy…
THAT does NOT fit with progressives….

“We’re going to do ourselves a disservice … if we fence him in,” Cleaver said. “I don’t want to be a part of the fencing-in group…
