he backed himself into a corner with the pick a woman stuff. Both these individuals are polarizing to different parts of the base and outside voters.

I'm not sure either polarize any meaningful part of the base. Both upset extreme Bernie stans, but they don't matter. I could see both turning off some independents and other voters though, sure. But 99% of people don't vote based on the VP unless the choice suggests something bad about the presidential candidate (see: McCain's poor judgement on picking Palin).

The only thing I could kinda imagine is maybe some older white voters not feeling Biden having a black VP, given the implication that it will likely lead to another black president. But that's not going to swing an election.

She still has the chief Demings profile.

Honestly if Biden picks Demings it'll be a landslide. :yeshrug:


That ticket may be able to finesse enough republicans to annihilate Trump.


With trump fukking up so bad, imaging selling Biden and a Black Woman police chief to "heal this nation" to actual republicans. :ehh:

If Trump keeps falling it's gonna be a landslide no matter who Biden picks. I like Demings but she's not gonna surpass Kamala on that list imo.

Why does Joe just have to pick a black woman no matter? Why wouldn’t a 77 year old candidate pick someone who could step in and be president if the worse was to happen? Not saying a black woman couldn’t do that; but from that perspective the best candidates aren’t the ones they are looking at.

This may sound stupid but the last few presidential tickets have atleast one letter of the presidential candidates last name be the first letter of the vice presidential candidates last name. They actually sound good together:ehh:


Obama-Biden, Romney-Ryan,Trump-Pence, Clinton-Kaine(close enough), Biden-Demings :mjgrin:

Because that’s the expectation he set and the listing of candidates they have allowed media and surrogates to discuss have 5 to 7 ratio of black women.

The fact that we're in this racial climate and he hasn't picked a black woman yet let's you know who it's going to be. I understand the convention and all that but with all the racial shyt going on now would of been the time to pick a black woman. It's clearly #WarrenG

He said they wouldn't announce for awhile before the racial climate so no that's not a good conclusion.
