I think people are really going to consider that Biden's VP could become President over the next four years. Even Democrat voters overwhelmingly rejected the idea of an Elizabeth Warren presidency. I think making her VP would backfire massively. Maybe the binder tosser Klobuchar. She was never really a serious contender for President, so I don't think her primary results reflect a rejection of her by voters the same way Warren's results do (since she was at one point considered the frontrunner).

I think the Democrats may need to be thinking outside the box on this one. How about someone like John McCain as a running mate?? I mean I know he's on the other side of the isle, and I know he's dead, but I still like him a lot more than many of the other candidates.

It's funny that people think a guy might be Biden's VP candidate. There's 0 chance of that happening because the DNC won't let it happen. There was also no way anyone other than Biden was getting the nomination once he decided to run. Is there someone behind door number 3 that will magically appear before this election so that the 2 stinky piles of s**t currently in the running aren't the only options?

I kind of miss the days when I used to see a warning label warning me that the coffee was hot and thinking it was totally unnecessary.

But today!!!

I agree that I think it's likely Biden will choose a female running mate. I also agree with GoMuskies about Warren being dangerous since she has already been rejected by voters. Klobuchar and Harris are both probably better options, and I would imagine both would be interested. Klobuchar clearly is.

I also don't love either option, but I love the Trump option A LOT less. Several orders of magnitude. That dude is a straight-up idiot on a level that almost no other candidate (recent or historical) could approach.

He mentioned the UV light but then mentioned disinfectant that kills the virus.
"I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it would be interesting to check that."

It was the only White House presser I’ve watched during all of this and it didn’t disappoint. He is a colossal moron.

My bad. I didn’t see the “continue reading” button. Yeah he’s reached a level of stupid I didn’t think possible. Birx should have told him to give it a try.

I haven’t been watching the pressers lately since it’s mostly garbage, but I’ll have to start again for entertainment value.

Yeah he did a fantastic job in response to this pandemic in new york... no thanks.

I'm voting for my dog next election.

Of all the people here who pretend to reluctantly support Trump, you're my favorite. There is zero chance you would ever vote for anyone else.

He'd be the first to try injecting some Lysol.
