Why? Because only lefties are allowed to decide what a racist is?

I don't know why everyone keeps saying he will choose one of the other candidates as his running mate. Why is that a forgone conclusion?

No, but Merriam-Webster.com or Dictionary.com does.

“A person who believes in the doctrine that one’s own racial group is superior or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.”

MAGA types are not a racial group.

I'm thinking Maxine Waters or Rashida Tlaib. I actually want Rashida Tlaib for President!

Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan seems like a possibility. New Governor, need more info. But still, a Governor with 14 years in state legislature, including as Minority Leader of state Senate. Law degree. 47. Two kids.

I like the Governor of Montana. He can appeal to the rural types.

So Elizabeth Warren lied again. She said she defended the little guys in lawsuits but left out how she defended Dow Corning against thousands of women who said breast implants made them ill.

I have perhaps a unique proposal. The two front-runners in the primaries get the President and VP nominations. Most of the remainder of the candidates get Cabinet or other key positions. Others with merit could join; a good pick for Treasury or Chairperson of the Federal Reserve would be Maxine Waters, who now heads the Financial Services committee. Bill DeBlasio, New York City mayor, for Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Elizabeth Warren to head up the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Ilhan Omar for Secretary of State, and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez for the position to whichever position Maxine Waters does not get. Not all of these are or can be Democratic primary contestants but such a wealth of talent should not go to waste.

Don't forget to get Eric Swallwell in there somewhere. I'm sure he has a lot to contribute!
