A virus….
A Economy in a hole….
40 Million people jobless….
Rioting and Looting in a city in Minnesota and starting to spread in other places….
A President that is fighting with the media and egging on the racial divide….
Media people getting looked up for covering the news…
Congress balking at helping the jobless anymore ….
The doors TO America closed tighter and tighter ….
People scared and worried….
America appears rudderless and leaderless
And I hope the people out there in the streets are NOT gonna hurt Joe Biden’s changes to get elected to put things back together….

Fairly obvious Amy Klobuchar is off the list now, but also impossible to ignore the undercurrent of distrust among young/black/progressive activists towards Kamala Harris.
bdog says
Klobuchar Off, I think Warren Stock Keeps Rising…she may be progressive and she maybe was you call Bernie 2.0, but I think she helps galvanize your educated women vote and she doesn’t have the same negatives as Hilary had with women..
But let’s be honest, end of the day, VP isn’t that important…It is Trump Vs. Biden and it is the economy, the virus and the response by the Trump administration that is on the ballot…I doubt a V shaped recovery will occur, because as bills go unpaid the bankruptcy’s will start taking off, plus major industries that have already been slowly dieting have excellerated, retail as an example…minus the big box and those with major e-commerce businesses are going to be hurting…JC Penny is Done, Macy’s is on the brink, Nordstroms and Bloomingdales is also hurting, Kohls is hurt, but they will survive…the economy to supply all those chains I just mentioned, not to mention the other chains across the country that I don’t know because of my New York Centric state of mind…employs millions…those jobs are already lost or will be lost and won’t come back…not to mention all the small business that won’t come back…restaurants, etc…its going to be a long climb back up, and that will be the referendum in the election who can build it back up Trump and his Clorox Beach Rhetoric or Biden and his perpetual foot in mouth routine…
VP won’t really matter…
jamesb says
I disagree….
The VP spot to me is CRITICALLY important ….
Joe Biden is in good shape…
Probably better than Trump in mind for sure and body…
BUT?
He’ll be 78 when gets sworn in….
82 running for a second term…
Will have a TON of shit dropped in his lap …
The VP spot will be MORE important than EVER….
A Stacey Abrams learning on the job just isn’t the way…
Neither is Warren, who has her OWN agenda…
Biden IS in a tough spot…
And for ME?
He should pick someone that can help and take the reins should she need to be early on…
Do NOT lose sign of the 2024 Presidential race Bdog…
bdog says
Agreed on that point that VP is important in that Biden is old and someone to step in is important, plus, the VP will also need probably do some of that heavy lifting because who really knows how all these government institutions look after Trump and company leave…it is going to be a mess in so many ways if Biden wins, and just a bigger mess if Trump stays in…VP will need to help in cleaning up the mess…
So who really is qualified for this? Harris, some experience, she is a jr. senator and former prosecutor, her managerial experience is limited to a justice department (be it from a large and diverse state), Warren, she has the political experience not the managerial, Abrahams really has neither, I’d say the same about Klobuchar as I said for Harris…
Any female Governors or Large city mayors to snipe? Michigan Governor?
jamesb says
I have pointed out Harris was a DA and the Cali AG….
She may have some issues…
She is NOT a likeable person for some of us…
Biden does NOT need a black on his ticket..He has that vote….
If Klobuchar is out, and she may not be?
Of course Harris is in good shape…
I REALLY hope he doesn’t take Warren which would cause him headaches EVERYDAY….
None of the top three REALLY gets things dicey….
