And all the dem votes from people $54,000 behind on her taxes. I've never met a person who is $54,000 behind in paying thier taxes, have you? That means she failed to pay her taxes for several years, probably 5 or more.

She'll say it was due to a family illness she was paying for....then, what the heck was Obamacare for?

I voted someone else. I think Keisha Bottoms has a real chance, even with her little experience. Her passionate speech in Atlanta yesterday helped her case a lot. Bottoms comes across better than Abrams and would have more appeal to white voters. I don't think it will be Harris or Warren. I believe Klobuchar was his choice until recently and could still get it.

Keisha Bottoms had 2 campaign violations during her mayoral run. She paid campaign staffers $180,000, and took a lot of money from an engineering firm that was being investigated by the FBI. She has some skeletons, and not old ones either.

She lacks the experience to be President of the USA after Biden's fuse goes out. She needs to get some more political experience than Mayor. She needs to become a Congressperson, Governor, Senator, and learn how it all works in the Major leagues.

I voted for Stacy Abrams.. because if there is one thing more toxic than Hillary Clinton it is a fat, black woman.

MAGA!

I noted her little experience. BUT remember Obama had little experience as well - he had been a senator for less than 3 years. With that said, this could well keep her from getting it. One big problem with Abrams and Harris is they don't appeal to a lot of white people - they come across as very angry to many. I don't see either as helping Biden. Warren would hurt Biden with Independents.

It's very amusing to read the Trumpling posts passing judgement on possible Dem veep candidates.

Nov 3rd will not hinge on Biden's VP selection.

And once again, tRump voters will be the minority. But this time the 18th century EC won't deliver the WH to you.

No. She's doesn't have enough experience. I think Biden will lose without throwing progressives a bone. They make up about 35% of the party. I think Warren will be a finalist at least.

Biden really stepped in it when he promised a female running mate. There are not any good choices, and after his "you ain't Black" gaffe, that means now he must choose a Black female, which limits him even more.

I think a choice like Warren pretty much guarantees Trump is re-elected.
