“But Warren reflected the most consistent support among white and black voters in both states.”

People on here love to underestimate the support for Warren, but she is the most powerful choice.

I'd like to know how Warren polls with AAs in southern states.

Why is that relevant. Don’t you want the best person as VP. I thought the Dems were not racists.

How about rephrasing it to be black women don't like her enough to vote for her?

The point being that there are no Warren supporters who are likely to vote for Trump. It doesn't add anything to the ticket. Unlike the Sanders supporters who are fanatics, Warren supporters are not going to hold their breath and sit out the election. Warren supporters are educated supporters who know that an abstention is essentially a vote for Trump. Warren supporters will support the Democratic ticket no matter who it is. And there are very few to none in the moderate or Independent camps that will choose Biden because of Warren. Picking Whitmer, Klobuchar or Grisham will sway votes that might have gone to Trump to vote for Biden. At this point, that is the most important demographic to court, the ones that are uncommitted to either party, but can be convinced to vote for the Democratic ticket. And two key demographics that need to be courted are the moderate Midwest which reacted when Clinton decided to cancel campaign tour stops in the Midwest to court other votes and voted for Trump; and the Latino vote which supported Sanders. Unlike the Sanders fanatics, the Latino vote can be swayed to vote for Biden with the right incentives.

Grisham would certainly convince a lot of uncommitted Latino votes to vote for Biden and are also likely to convince a portion of the voters who might otherwise vote for Trump to vote for the Democratic ticket. Whitmer and Klobuchar would help with key battle states that Clinton lost. The main reason I think that Grisham is a better candidate is that the Midwest already leans left. Look at the recent Wisconsin Supreme Court election. The liberal challenger upset the incumbent conservative judge even when Trump had lobbied for the incumbent. Trump is not that popular in the Midwest. Clinton's mistake in 2016 was that she canceled key campaign stops in the Midwest to visit other states that she felt were more important. Trump, on the other hand, actively campaigned in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Pundits said that the midwest was reliably Democratic, but when the dust cleared, Trump had narrowly won both Michigan and Wisconsin. It is quite likely that had Clinton campaigned in those states, she would have carried them. I think that Biden can carry those states by just making sure not to repeat Clinton's mistakes and to make sure to stop in the Midwest to consolidate the liberal leanings. It's not as easy to win Latinos over with a ground game.




I don't disagree with any of this. It seems obvious now though that the economy will be the primary focus. This is where Elizabeth Warren shines, few can compete with her chops there. If not her, then a governor for the same reason: executive experience and focus on the economy. Then there is the crucial intangible, with whom does Biden have great chemistry and who is perceived as likable? My top picks right now, then, are EW, Grisham, and Whitmer. But I'd also like to see him interact with more of his prospects.



You must be high.

What economic chops does Warren have, other than becoming a millionaire herself via highly-paid consulting to banks?

Uff da. That’s some hard core ignorance.


English, plz


Do you mean “English, please?”
