Kamala / Walz 2028

[anachronistic]

No one ever went broke overestimating the racism of Midwestern idiots.

@grue

uh thats kinda a hot take, maybe “there’s no black women who come to mind right now who would be a strong pick for VP”?

That’s obviously not anywhere close to what Riverman said.

[Trolly]

@Riverman

There are plenty of black women who would be fantastic Vice Presidents / Presidents, obviously. Come on.

I kind of hate that Michelle Obama was “reduced” to first lady status. It makes me often forget that she is a Princeton grad, has a Harvard law degree, and was a successful lawyer before being overshadowed by her husband.

[RiskyFlush]

True. I would take her as a dinner guest before Barack. Not that I wouldn’t love to grill him. I’d just rather be like okay Michelle, tell me all the good stuff I’m not allowed to repeat (meaning I will promise to put it in spoilers if i post it on Unstuck)

[iron81]

Would anyone be a better troll pick than Maxine Waters?

[Ikioi]

I feel a little better about Joe Biden (still not my first choice) after listening to this interview with Colbert.
Wherein he also talks about his process for picking VP.

Rashida Tlaib. Non-white, Midwestern, solid progressive credentials. Ilhan Omar would have been more troll-y because the hijab would drive Trumpkins nuts, but not natural-born.

[MimosaDef]

For some reason I feel a bit more strongly today that the pick is going to be Kamala Harris.

Tulsi is still in the race. Perhaps she will agree to drop out if he will take her as VP. Sure, she’s a long shot, but why risk it?

If Tulsi is his VP then he’s dying of polonium poisoning one month in. Or maybe he’ll fall out of a hospital window.

To be fair, he might do that on his own with no help from Russians.

@anon46587892

Tulsi can get him the Rogan and never Trumper vote. She is the obvious choice

If Tulsi is the nominee I’m voting BIden/Pence. Can I do that? I think I can do that. Fuck Tulsi Gabbard.

grunching this thread, but I think klob is a diversion. Every cycle, there’s something floated about VP picks and when the actual announcement comes it’s someone that nobody mentioned.

IIRC, someone figured out Hil’s pick by watching wikipedia edits, haven’t seen any analysis like that yet but I’m sure people are keeping an eye out

[WichitaDM]

Warren would be at the higher end of who I think is possible. Would be more engaged than I have been since Super Tuesday if this happens.

[DrChesspain]

Warren seems like a riskier choice than Kamala, or even a generic female Dem.

@eyebooger

If Joe can’t win PA/MI/WI on his own regardless of who the VP selection is, then he is an absolutely horrendous candidate this cycle. He would basically be Hillary 2.0, except he would actually be worse considering that everyone knows exactly what the Trump presidency is like.

I liked James Carvill’s response regarding VP speculation. “He could pick Sarah Palin and I’d say it was a great choice.”

[simplicitus]

God, I’d love Maxine as the pick, but I’m not a swing voter in WI.

@DrChesspain

generic female Dem

It’s ok to just say Klob here.
