    The anti-veep talking points are already written - all they need is a picture. Biden may as well go all in with Ayanna Pressley.
    Plusses - she's a member of "The Squad," backed Warren, she's not old by Dem standards (46), solid progressive, long history of working for more establishment-type Dems (John Kerry, Joe Kennedy II) and she grew up in Chicago, moved to Brooklyn and then started a career in Boston (granted none of those states are in doubt, but she can claim them all as "home." And she's a survivor of sex abuse which will help with the Tara Reade stuff.
    Minuses - She'll be mocked for wearing a wig due to having alopecia, a hair growing disorder and she's married to an ex-felon who served 10 years for drug trafficking before starting a career as a respected authority on reintegrating felons into society. Pressley's father also served time, struggling with addiction before earning multiple degrees and teaching at the college level. She never learned to drive a car.

    The people who dislike Harris for being a cop are even more against Klobuchar
    Plus she has gained a reputation for being two-faced with all the reports she treats her underlings like shit
    The Dems will need all their senators
    It should be Stacy Abrams

    Biden is not exactly known for bold, game-changing moves in politics. So I'd say it'll be a surprise if it's not Harris, with Warren being the least surprising surprise choice.

    The Radical Left is....focused on techno-capitalism?
    Raging against a social media platform that you are currently using?
    Raging against a social media platform that undoubtedly helped your last campaign?
    Retweeting deleted material?
    Does anyone think he is right for this job?

    Stacy Abrams has to be a hard no.
    Biden's VP has a very good chance of becoming POTUS 47 one way or another. You need someone with some experience at higher levels. Before the crooked election of '18, had anyone outside of Georgia ever heard of her?
    I really don't mean this as bad as it sounds, but it has to be someone who looks presidential and could command respect. I'm sorry, but Abrams just doesn't have it. If there are any fence sitters out there, knowing that she was a heartbeat away could cause some hesitation.

    I read this morning that the IG was investigating the use of a political appointee at State to run errands for Pompeo and his wife.

    You expect them to travel en masse to Leavenworth on visiting day?
