I earned $110,000 in bets during the Democratic by correctly predicting that Biden was going to end up clinching the nomination . I have had two separate bets for the general: A) if Biden picks a non minority ,trump gets reelected and I'll pocket $150k. B) if he picks a minority ,trump loses and I'll pocket $100k. Either way , I'm getting paid handsomely.

There's a dark cynicism in me that wants Biden to pick a white woman. I'm confident that on election night , trump's sparkly veneers will be what you'll be seeing.

I do agree with this. I think its high time women (and everyone else too) voted for the most experienced and capable leader. There is no point pandering to the white/women/suburban swing voters in the Midwest. Why can't those women think broader and vote for the more qualified black woman? Makes no sense nominating the lowest common denominator.

Um, ELIZABETH WARREN is as qualified as any of the black candidates.

Yes and her name has all but vanished , hasn't it ? I mean, the Reagan fan girl thing did her in. But, if she's isn't picked then why is whitmer ?

Her name all but vanished because she's white. Just like Whitmer's did, until it was confirmed she flew to Wilmington last week. No-one knows for sure what's going on.

No, her name vanished because her arrogance had her believing that she was going to be rewarded with the presidency after decades of unabashed Reagan fangirl-ism.

The governor of Mass is a Republican. Can't lose a senator. Also, she'd be the defacto 2024 candidate if they won. It'd be weird.

Well Rice was already in 2nd place? I think the odds went

Harris
Rice
Whitmer
Michelle Obama

So if we know it’s not Harris, obviously everyone’s odds move up a rung.

To me, the fly-ins to Delaware are likely not about the VP post, but about having a cabinet ready to go on day-one (Whitmer, Buttigieg...) - America is literally in a state of emergency and a leadership void. We know this.

This is what leadership looks like - getting out in front. Planning. Preparing. We used to routinely do this kind of thing - both parties did, actually. But I believe that's what we're seeing.

No, Whitmer clearly was there for VP. Her totally random racial equity press conference the following day, flanked by Black folks, was obvious pandering for VP.

I doubt it. She'll be on Biden's cabinet.

On the one hand, she’s clearly qualified for any cabinet position or VP. Ready to work on day 1. On the other hand, I’m not ready for the BENGHZIIIIII Republican ghouls to come out of the woodwork. On the other other hand, Biden himself is the most experienced presidential candidate since probably George HW Bush, and I’m fully confident that he and his staff are putting together an excellent transition team, so does he really *need* a VP with that degree of experience? Or would it be better to give the position to someone younger in the party who could take the reins in the future, avoiding a possible messy primary season should Biden get elected and decline to run in 2024?

Maybe Joe wanted to talk to Pete in person to get his opinion. Pete spent a lot of time on the campaign trail with both Warren and Harris.

I still think it might be Warren.

Why? What does he owe Whitmer? While I think she’s a good VP choice, she has no management experience. For cabinet nod, Detroit’s mayor Mike Duggan has far more experience, accomplishments and has done more for Biden.

Duggan also graduated from THE University of Michigan, a HIGHLY prestigious public university. He did not go to Michi...Michigan.. St...St..State, I can't event bring myself to say it!

Joes does not need Pete's opinion, lol. What he probably needed was for him to film a professionally managed spot, for the convention or the announcement.

+1 She was trying to help with a rationale for the pick.

We don't know, but the delay only hurts her.

Never said Warren is not equal to Rice/Harris. But Whitmer is not equal to Rice/Harris.

Whitmer is equal to Harris and arguendo more qualified than Rice. Hardly a "lowest common denominator." Yikes.

Whitmer knows next to nothing about foreign policy . Intelligence agencies constantly brief Congress not state legislatures . This makes right wing dirt bags like Matt gaetz more privy to sensitive info on America's defense, spying and foreign policy in ways that governors can only dream of . I'm not Harris constituent nor 'fan' . However , you have to be an idiot to out Harris, klobuchar and Warren on the same level as any governor . Unless , of course, you only believe whitmer to be better than Harris and Harris ONLY.

Hard to follow what you are saying. Governors traditionally became president more than senators. You seem to be saying that this is acceptable for men and not women, which is troubling.
