2020 Democratic Primary Thread: Focus on House & Senate races
- Thread starter mc_brew
- Start date
As thecoli's #1 Joe Biden stan. His VP list should be long and amazing. Here's my Final three that make the most sense.
1. Keisha Lance Bottoms
Why? Talented politician, attractive, doesn't overstep boundaries like other Atlanta based politicians do, hard worker and good at her job, family-based, will do extremely well with Black voters who are currently Bernie types or Blacks who might not vote which is critical, relatable, and easy to work with.
Why not? No House or senate experience, does she have superstar chops for the job, low name recognition, what's her negatives as she wasn't been attacked to the degree the others on the list have been.
2. Stacey Abrams
Why? Superstar talent as a politician, willing to take the risk, will do extremely well with Black voters who are currently Bernie types or Blacks who might not vote which is critical, relatable, and easy to work with.
Why not? Single, Some people will think she's Aunt Jemima, Lack of high-end experience although she is great within the state, decent name recognition but not great like Harris or good like Rice.
3. Susan Rice
Why? Experience, Extremely Smart, foreign relation skills, Knows how the administration wants to move, doesn't have a bad track record like some others.
Why not? White husband, her son is a diehard Republican, doesn't appeal to most Blacks outside of the Boule, Really doesn't appeal to independents but my guess is those types aren't that important for 2020 considering this is the world v. Trump election. Does she appeal to women voters on the edge which isn't that big of a population this year?
On the outside looking in: Liz Warren, Ayanna Pressley, Amy Klobuchar
Not of interest for me: Kamala Harris, Donna Brazile, Tulsi Gabbard
I can almost guarantee Trump saw these numbers this morning and flipped his shyt.
The efforts to kneecap Biden will be on a level we probably haven’t seen before, although you could argue the Ukraine scandal already proved that.
People keep saying Trump is going to easily win, its a landslide, etc, etc even from the Bernie guys, but why wouldn’t he go through the same efforts to hurt Bernie if he thought he was a threat?
the next guy
Superstar
Biden should win 40 states if everything goes as normal as can be. Trump should lose one of FL or NC. Ohio is also gone if the cleveland area shows up.
Trump and Biden proved that money has diminishing returns on campaigns. It's important, but you can't outright buy elections
Rethugs were low key pushing for Bern fanaticism early... I posted about it a year ago, but y’all was 
Now that fanaticism has turned into I’m not voting/I’m writing in bern
Rethugs are just better at this shyt.

You can add the Oprah/Snoop stuff for Susan Rice as well for why NOT! She’s below Kamala Harris IMO.
Also,

Not happening, but that would be interesting.
How do 2 of the top 3 make this list with credentials that only include first term mayor and state house rep? That checks the box as the number 2 to a 77 year top of the ticket?

Lol at Tulsi Gabbard as VP
Since she was friends with Beau...
Biden May give her an Assistant Secretary or Ambassador post
