The 2020 thread....

it would create a huge brouhaha that he didn’t pick a black woman

it would, but that brouhaha would be slightly mitigated by the fact that jim clyburn, the person most responsible for turning around joe's campaign and getting him the nom thanks to his strong endorsement in SC, has essentially given permission to joe to pick a non-black running mate:

Etc.

per the daily CNN podcast i occasionally listen to, clyburn will provide cover should biden go non-black in the veepstakes.

Clyburn is a giant in SC (and the south too)....but not sure ALL of black america is tuning into what he says

isn't the phrase, once you say you are going to go black, you can't go back??

[hutch]

No way Clyburn carries even close to that weight


I mean there have been open letters published signed by hundreds of prominent blacks demanding a black person be chosen...


As DJT would say “It is what it is.”

I think Biden will win it regardless.... I can even see a rationale for Val Demings....He should just pick who he thinks will make best VP

[hutch]

Biden has made his pick...announcement forthcoming



Developing....

It ain’t me

Guys, I just want to announce I have removed myself from consideration for the VP slot and advised Senator Biden he should choose a woman.

My aforementioned religious nut friend on Facebook (who is white and married to a much older black man) once told he the saying is actually "Once you go Black, you don't want to go back."

Karen Bass has been told she is not the pick, supposedly.

[hutch]

Its Kamala!

[grateful]

Its Kamala!

YESSSS!!!!

[Dejecty-hatch lııllı|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|̲̅̅=̲̅̅|̲̅̅●̲̅̅|llıl]

Its Kamala!

I think this is going to be good
She is a bulldog and will constantly be attacking/responding Team Trump so Joe can just ignore the twitter battle

[hutch]

Agree


It’s a good choice

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

It’s definitely better than Rice. I guess if you were going to pick one of the big five AA names floated, go with her.

any bets on what bombshell the Trump campaign is going to release tonight
I'm sure they have been doing Ops on Harris for months
Or maybe they will just start killing protesters?

Shes a WOC. They’ll just point at a picture and say “radical” and to his base that’s a bombshell.
