I literally like the sound of "Joe Biden and Susan Rice". The phrase has an interesting symmetry of meter, a nice variety of consonant and vowel sounds, and the subtle unifying effect of the shared "I" sounds in their last names. But as a running mate for Biden, I think Rice would give Trump way too much ammunition. Stacey Abrams is the one to watch.
There is a good possibility Trump will win again. Biden is just not going to get people excited. All signs point to Harris she is just as mediocre as him.
I still have a couple of Harris bumper stickers on my fridge, but I always had a problem with her law-and-order record as a prosecutor. How do you square that with the historical moment we're living through, pheat?
A liberal who raises tons of money: What Elizabeth Warren could do as Biden’s VP pick
PUBLISHED THU, JUN 18 20207:00 AM EDT
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has said she would agree to become Joe Biden’s running mate if he asks her.
Warren may well end up there, taking on President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence, as she has emerged as a leader on Biden’s short list.
In the buildup to Biden’s choice, expected by early August, and during the crises stemming from the coronavirus and racial injustice, Warren has been a leading voice for progressive Democrats.
<Alan, you seem like a bright guy...serious question, please give an honest answer:>
I don't know how bright I am, but I can spot a troll. You are not interested in a serous discussion about anything.
All you want to do is regurgitate talking points you heard on Fox or from Rush or Alex Jones or wherever you get your information. You never propose an original thought.
We get it -- you dislike Hillary, neocons and Biden. And liberal elite radicals. And Democrats. And whoever they tell you to fear.
But in three plus years, I've never read why you like Trump or his policies. Strange. You are only against things... never FOR anything.
Do me a favor and list 10 things you think Trump has done right for the Country. That should be easy. You got three plus years of stuff to chose from.
Be specific. Why would you tell someone to vote FOR him?
Stacey Abrams would be a transformational pick and my first choice.
what do you think would be transformational? ive looked around quite a bit and having a tough time not only finding anything in her political record or proposals/ideas that was/is particularly transformational when it comes to legislation or policy proposals, but have been having a tough time finding any information about anything interesting she did in the state legislature at all that is new or different...most policy proposals seem to be standard center left traditional democrat fare, and most things written about her seem to center around her almost beating a popular republican governor, which is great, and if you agree with her positions that fine, but i just dont see what would be transformational or what would lead people to want her as VP more than any of the other names that have been floated - she seems competent and nice but overall just seems like some rando lady who had a brief and fairly successful stint in state legislature.
<His debate acumen/intellect comparatively speaking with Biden’s>
That's still a "he's better than the other guy" response. Lame.
You fail to answer the 10 things you like about what he's done for the Country in the past 3 1/2 years. What 10 administrations policies do you favor? Why is he your guy?
Don't you know what you are FOR? Why is this so hard for you? If you had to convince someone to vote for Trump, that's your only answer? Vapid.
Since Biden has boxing experience, maybe a rope a dope strategy? I don't run campaigns, so I'm not sure. but it's obviously a new Gulliani talking point in your news.
"a boxing tactic of pretending to be trapped against the ropes, goading an opponent to throw tiring ineffective punches."
>> "What would be the strategy you'd recommend to the Biden campaign to facilitate the avoidance of presidential debates with Trump?" <<
I'll bite. You saying he's avoiding doesn't make it so. Biden doesn't need to avoid anything. He will be just fine on stage with Trump. All he has to do is stay calm and act presidential. Biden can talk the horsehide off a baseball. Trump, on the other hand, can't finish a sentence with any coherence.
Alan, Byran has claimed that he is anti-war (unlike all the pro-war people). Trump did have that quickie war with Iran back in January, so that must have upset Byran.
Ned - Byren should know I don't really get into political discussions on the Zone... I'm just mostly anti-ignorance when it's glaring.
The fact that "he" is unable to answer the easiest question about his favored President, just indicates he is either a fraud, a stolen log in prank, or an undereducated, illiterate old guy trolling a Deadhead web site with the latest talking Conservative talking point to get some attention (or all three).
Anybody as into politics is he says he is would able to spout off ten reasons why he thinks Trump has been good for the country in a heartbeat. At least 7. Or 5.
I notice Giuliani just dropped the debate-challenge-talkin- point the other day. Looks like it's Bryen's job to Zone about it.
Byren, sorry, I can have a more satisfying discussion about politics with my neighbor's junior high school kid. You can continue your simplton nonsense rant int he golfcourse clubroom locker room. Maybe they'll enjoy listening to your I-was-a-hippy-once stories as you spray on your tan.
