Biden's VP?

It's hard to tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

Obama is not eligible for VPOTUS. He would have to be eligible to be POTUS, which he is not due to the 22nd amendment.

Yup, Benghazi rules her out.


How so? The Secretary of State at the time of Benghazi later won the nomination in 2016 as well as the popular vote. Rice used the best talking points available to her at the time and went on television when no one else would. In contrast, Secretary Clinton was nowhere to be found and dismissive of the entire tragedy when testifying before Congress (e.g., "what difference does it make?"). Rice conveyed the administration's position with much less information available to her and with the appropriate seriousness. If Clinton can be the presidential nominee, why can't Rice be the VP pick?

Why shouldn't Susan Rice deserve the most serious consideration to be Vice President? She has significant experience in two administrations and has done more than just think about international issues for decades. Susan Rice has been in the arena and in the room when tough decisions are made. She has earned another opportunity.

Many of the picks on the short lists have their own political agendas and have been critical of Biden in the past and even to his face. He needs someone who is more loyal and could step in to be president. Susan Rice has been in the Situation Room, and not just on CNN.



LOL! The very fact that she repeated the talking points over and over, denies your facts of support for her. Anyone with a lick of common sense knew that it was not the video--and that included the IC. She took talking points from that fiction writing major Ben Rhodes--likely with the help of John Brennan (who, by the way, was in charge of the plans to keep Americans around the world safe on 9/11/12--he didn't do so well.)


Ben Rhodes and John Brennan are fixtures of the national security establishment. Rice should not be faulted for relying on the information they provided.

More importantly, Susan Rice is a substantive leader who could work very well with a President Biden. Let Trump chase the big crowds and social media; it is pointless to try to compete in those areas, especially with a 78-year old at the top of the ticket who has been out of step for at least a decade. Biden and Rice can actually govern. Independents, suburban women, and people in the Midwest will respect that ticket.



Are you angling for a WH on Rice’s staff? No other reason to promote her.

Agree. The one Rice promoter is tiresome. Biden does not want to hear “Benghazi” screamed for six months. Will not happen.

Just heard on WTOP that Bowser and Chertoff are going to be Mayor Bower's advisors on when/how to repopen DC. First time I've heard Rice's named mentioned on the news in a while. So, maybe someone is promoting her and trying to raise her profile.

Not to mention she lives in DC and will not bring in votes from crucial swing states and has little name recognition. Nor does she capture any of the Bernie voters. She is not even on the list.

You mean Rice rather than Bowser but getting involved in a eunuch city does not prepare Rice for National office. At least someone like Eleanor Holmes Norton has been in the shadow of power.

Warren makes the most sense since the economy is in shambles and working class is being screwed.

Although I prefer Warren, I think the choice will be a WOC in order to not alienate the base. Harris is the obvious choice, though I'm curious to know more about Val Demings.

It's a bit too much in my opinion, like she is entitled for the VP role....really? And I read that there is a lot of pressure on Biden to pick her.
Anyway, she is not the right choice.
