Kamala Harris is getting major buzz as a possible vice presidential pick even as Democrats raised the alarm over a dramatic lack of diversity in the all-white top tier of their presidential primary contest. Just days after Harris pulled the plug on her White House campaign, former rivals Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren both name-dropped her as a potential running mate. (Snip) “She can be president someday herself, she can be vice president, she could go on to be a Supreme Court justice, she could be attorney general," Biden said. "I mean she has enormous capability.” Warren also raced to

If she is so qualified to be president, VP, SCOTUS, US attorney general on and on why didn't anyone vote for her or send her their hard earned money? She is a woman and black. That's it. Those are her qualifications. It appears that isn't enough for the voting public. I want the BEST people in these positions regardless of their sex or skin color. Why is that considered such a bizarre position?

This is more reason not to vote for Biden or Warren. Whoever the Democrat ticket turns out to be in the end, to have any chance in the General Election, that ticket is going to need the support of Barack Obama, who for all intents and purposes is the leader of the Democrat Party. There is no doubt that Obama’s candidate, who is now keeping a low profile is Deval Patrick the former very liberal Governor of Massachusetts, who is African-American, is a close friend of Obama, and is out of the same liberal Democrat “Chicago Way” political stable. So if the Democrat nominee, whoever that turns out to be wants Obama’s support, he or she will put Patrick on the Democrat ticket. At the moment that is a pretty good bet.

She is abysmal and if it weren't for doing Willie Brown, she'd be chasing ambulances in South Central.

From her own Wikipedia page: (doesn't describe her as black or African-American which she isn't)
Harris won the election as California's Attorney General in 2010 and was reelected in 2014 by a wide margin. On November 8, 2016, she defeated Loretta Sanchez in the 2016 Senate election to succeed outgoing Senator Barbara Boxer, becoming California's third female U.S. Senator, and the first of either Jamaican or Indian ancestry.[3
That's likely part of her problem, she didn't present herself as who she truly is, and what she had actually done as AG (tough sentencing).
She tried to fool people into thinking she's someone other than who she is, born into an upper-income, highly educated family of Indian and Jamaican decent.

Oh please, please, please don't throw us Republicans in that Briar Patch. She would be an insurmountable force of nature in the primary election in which she got no support from her own Party in the primary.

If elected, Biden would be 79 years old when he takes office. Forget about Willie Brown and Harris sleeping her way into California's Democrat controlled politics. Kamala Harris is a dishonest, unethical, noxious person. She did things as San Francisco's DA and then California's Attorney General, that were shameful and disingenuous (we saw a small example in her entirely disingenuous cross examination of Judge Kavanaugh), If Harris were a Republican, she would have been driven out of town on a rail. No knowledgeable American should want this woman anywhere near the White House, much less a heartbeat away from the presidency.

A token VP spot on an old White mans ticket, if she has any self worth she would be offended beyond belief but she will no doubt jump for joy.

No diversity? That crew has every qualification the Democrats want: duplicity, perversion, nepotism, corruption, narcissism, a plagiarist, etc. Everything but business sense.

Youbpick a VP for what that person brings to the campaign. California votes dem, so she doesnt bring that advantage. Race..... perhaps.
If I was a Biden, i would give more consideration to Florida's Gillum.

The nominee will either be Biden or Warren. Both would be pressured to choose a minority for Vice. They wouldn’t put two women on the ticket. So Warren would probably take Booker as the least risky choice. Biden will be stuck with Harris. Neither would win.

Better start getting bids on modifying the Vice Presidential office chair so it can recline all the way back.

As other posters have noted, Biden would be 79 years old if he is elected. In that respect, with his mind also obviously wearing out, it would be doubtful if Biden could successfully finish one four year term as President, and certainly not two for year terms. So if Biden and the Democrats, at this point in time, were to nominate a leftist or liberal Democrat politician to be Biden’s Vice-Presidential ticket partner and that politician would have no chance to be nominated for President in his or her own rite, that should be a big red flag to stay away from any such Biden ticket, as Biden after being elected could at anytime remove himself from the presidency for age or health reasons that would make his Vice-President the President without ever being elected to that executive position.

That would be the icing on the proverbial cake. Harris is a harridan.......saw that first hand at the Kavanaugh hearing, and she has been a candidate who sways in the wind as to what she stands for. But perhaps her most egregious offense for me is her throwing any number of minority kids in jail for smoking weed, and then laughingly admitting SHE has done so while trying to curry favor on a Black talk show.

I think they should nominate them all. President, Vice-President, Vice-Vice President, Assistant Vice-Vice President, Second Under Secretary to the Vice-Vice President and so on.
Then Trump could beat them all like a bunch of rented mules.

Once upon a time it was considered insulting to be hired as a minority “token”. Now it’s a necessity for the demonrats to have a token on their ticket. Maybe we should call it that. No matter who gets the nomination, there will be a minority in the VP slot. So we should call it the Token Ticket.
