She is not a Democrat.

With all the great Democratic women we have, no one is going to consider her for the VP slot on a Democratic ticket, least of all Joe Biden.


Good, put her on the ticket with Biden and maybe we could take a long overdue step back towards country over party again.

Condi Rice? Great woman.



Democrat party will never ever let her get near the ticket. Remember it won't be Biden doing the choosing here.

She absolutely characterised him as a racist. As you know, that was her intent but she used weasel words to enable her to deny it. Biden went on to call her a liar.

Are you saying Obama isn't black?

We have to get rid of Trump. That's the big step that this country needs to take.

Maybe Biden will appoint Condi Rice to something in his Administration as he reaches across the aisle, but he can't give the Vice President nod to a Republican.

If something were to happen to him, she would become President. But you know that.

I think she only withdrew it because she knew her chance is near zero.

But aren't you a Republican?

She lost me if she ever had me simply on her whining about having to be bused in the 70s out of her neighborhood for school. Guess what, depending on where you lived in Ca all kids were bused. My kids were as well. You were bused for lower elementary and went to the local school the last 3 years or visa versa. It was a program that did not last that many years as it didn't seem to accomplish what the government hoped it would. It had nothing to do with this poor little black girl who had to go cross town to school. I hope more people point this out.

Can't you be a member of one party and still support someone from another party, isn't that the American way for Gods sake?

I also know that both parties have gone too far over the line of favoring party over country which IMO is the greatest threat the future of this country faces. While I agree we need to get rid of Trump, that will accomplish little in the way of progress if the finger pointing entrenched two-party system continues to divide the country while little gets done.
