Anybody. He could choose a goose from our public park and I’d vote for him (and the goose).

+1
Another white SAHM, though I’m still pulling for Warren.

PP here. I love Warren too, but I think Harris is more likely.

Maybe a couple hundred, but they’ll support Biden anyway.

Biden and most of the Democratic Party are pro-Israel. Harris is no more pro-Israel than Whitmer, Duckworth, Rice, or anybody else. It sounds like you are trodding in some dark water and insinuating because is married to a Jewish person she is somehow a tool of the Likud - which is kinda sick.

Obama and most Democrats have condemned some of the practices of Israel when it comes to its treatment of Palestine. Kamala Harris has deviated from this stance specifically voting against Obama policy. This has nothing to do with whomever she is married to but a break from the Party position which impacts whether she is aligned with Biden and if she will alienate some voters.

Not really true, actually. The Democratic party was, is, and will be pro-Israel. They are not pro-Likud, and never have been, Harris did not break from the established Democratic party position on Israel. Biden himself has a long record of supporting Israel.

Yeah, me too. But I think Rice would be a huge mistake.

Wall Street hates her and the last thing we need is for house wives in Texas to not vote for Biden because they are afraid a far left radical like Warren will take over the Presidency and turn the country into a socialist state. Is she capable? Definitely but she detracts from a win come November.

+1000. And being totally cynical, I think the Texas housewives may see some of themselves in a Gretchen Whitmer and won't like the attacks against her.

She looks like a housewife to you? Not clear what you’re saying here.

I'm not talking about appearance - I'm talking about shared experience. The women who I know who are housewives are late 40's with good educations and could see themselves as a Gretchen Whitmer. I also thinking Whitmer can appeal to working suburban moms.

Harris “promoted a resolution that opposes former president Barack Obama’s Security Council’s condemnation.....”

This is a nothing burger. Obama took some steps on his way out the door to flip off Bibi. Hardly a shift in Democratic policy. Booker also opposed some of these flip-offs to Bibi. So what.

Harris would be an excellent VP. She knows government. Has great policy ideas. Will surround herself with competent people. And can step in as POTUS on day-one.

What are her great policy ideas? Be specific.

One is reparations, which is simply ridiculous.

I knew for sure you'd bite.

Rabid opposition is so ugly.

What'd she do to you?

Why can’t you support your assertion? This should be an easy question for any supporter focused on substance.

My preferences:

Harris
Whitmer
Duckworth

There is no 4th choice.

NP: your deflecting. It highlights her lack of policy ideas.

Listen, she may not be your favorite for whatever issue you have with her, but she's accomplished and she's smart. She's a senator for good reason. Did she do it on her own; without some potentially questionable actions? Maybe, but how many people in those positions live in glass houses?

My hunch is that you dislike Harris for personal reasons. Fine. We all have our likes and dislikes. But your neurotic crusade on this forum to dismiss her career and accomplishments seems more rooted in resentment than anything else.

God only knows what you'll do if Biden actually selects Harris as his running mate - but it might be wise to prepare for such a possibility.
