What's concerning is everyone, particularly Republicans, setting expectations for Joe so low that if he does somehow survive a debate without slapping Trump across the face like Moe and calling him daddy, he'll come across as actually viable.

Having said that, i don't think Biden not having a "moment" during a legitimate Q&A session or debate is very likely.

This does not bode well for the dems, since we all know that the msm is the propaganda arm of the dnc. It doesn't seem likely that the biden ticket will be able to hold off questions for too much longer.

I'm sure they're absolutely stunned that Biden and Harris weren't downright eager to make a party out of an opportunity for the candidates and the press to make a series of attempts to slap at Trump. From the perspective of media activists, this is utterly irrational behavior since it "should" produce votes for the politicians and paychecks for the media while both engage in downright frenetic virtue signaling.

I don't like her, at all, but wonder what she's thinking...

I have a difficult time believing she actually believes she/they have a real shot.

Like she's wasting her chance, if there ever was one. Jumping the gun, etc.

He's so... lackluster... at the very least. Hitching her wagon to that old geezer seems odd.

Like her or not (I don't), she's a serious player on the left, and has been angling for this sort of thing since before Obama took office. Heretofore she's been pretty patient. This seems more Hail Mary than calculated.

Not at all. This is as close to a "can't lose" scenario [for her] that you can imagine.
If they lose, she won't be blamed. If they win [God forbid] she will be President herself in short order.

Yep. Basically, she’s got nothing to lose by running for VP.

Ahh, the always enjoyable Rageaholic take on Harris pick:




Couple of the best comments on the youtube page:

"I can't even imagine what the Democrats' internal polling is looking like. Wonder if we're going to see them start hurling themselves off of tall buildings like 1920s stockbrokers."

"Willie Brown’s chew toy....."

I hope this hasn't been posted on this thread. I don't find it a joke at all...

OK, very good. We're back on track here. Makes for a more interesting thread, wouldn't you say?

Her numbers tanked as the dem debates went on. She didn't even win her home state and had almost zero support in the dem primaries when she folded. She has nothing at all to lose and if she believes the media polls and pundits who are saying Biden has a huge, double digit, almost insurmountable lead, why not continue to garner name recognition even if she knows deep in her heart that those polls are rigged. Look at all the absolute fawning media attention she has already received. Every national publication and news outlet has posted glowing stories building her up to be the greatest politician and leader the country has ever produced.

My opinion, once someone lifts the rug and exposes all the hidden dirt, she's toast.

As a CA residence, I really think the DNC picked her to ensure she'll be a non-player in 2024.

Do you really think the Dems are capable of playing such a long game? If Joe and and his VP pick lose, they might rethink the run a radical gambit.

Yeah, these assholes ain't the deep thinkers some take them for.

They had to pick someone so it was either her or Warren. The lesser of the evils I think.

But they have to know they don’t have a snowballs chance in hell of winning.

As soon as Biden announced that his VP would be a black women, the talent pool was awfully shallow.

He couldn't pick Rice, he couldn't pick Bass and he wasn't going to select Abrams. It's almost like Harris was the last one standing.

I honestly don't know any "true" blue-dog, old-fashioned Liberal Democrats, like those from the 70's. For those that do, what are they saying about this year's picks for P/VP now that the ticket has been completed and are they in agreement with their party taking such a hard, radical turn to port? Will they cast their vote for President Trump or just abstain from voting for President altogether?

For anyone who had a parent or grandparent go through it, you can spot it. I may not be able to give a clinical diagnosis, but it's clear as day. Just the same as you may not be a mechanic, but if your car starts burning oil; running through coolant; misfiring; smoking; sounding rough; etc. You can tell you have a problem. You may not know the exact diagnosis, but you've had cars in the past and you know what happened right before they shit the bed.

It's kind of like that, he's not right, it's clear as day. Just because I don't know the medical lingo or degree, I can understand something is not right.

If he has a hard time making speeches or holding up his end of debates, then that may well be enough. I don't mean to be dismissive, but I want Trump to win regardless of what state Biden is in.

Yeah, well, I don't think Biden knows what state he's in. Could be Delaware, could be Arizona, could be Kentucky,... and I could continue for 47 more states...
