It's official, presidential candidate Joe Biden has chosen California Senator Kamala Harris as his running mate. (Snip for tweet)But according to former Obama Senior Advisor David Axelrod, Harris wasn't his top choice and politics pushed her into the position.
"He reportedly clicked well with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, but she would not have fulfilled the desire of those who prioritized a candidate of color," Axelrod wrote for CNN. "Whitmer, a White moderate pick, also would have raised questions among supporters of progressive champion Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, widely viewed after a lifetime of advocacy and a strong campaign for president as a tough, brilliant and capable policymaker.

She brings nothing but baggage to the ticket. The Rublican ads will write themselves.

There is nothing magical about the term "diversity". I prefer the use of the phrase "the most qualified person(s) for the job". As soon as he uttered the words "woman of color" he lost control of the whole process.

Re#1. My first thought was that Harris brings an overnight bag......to every meeting. At least a toothbrush.

It appears that hiring criteria based on things like education and experience are no longer in fashion for democrats. Their new selection method comes down to simply a "pigment and plumbing" requirement.

Axlerod is a fool. Whitmer is far left, not even close to ‘moderate’ and Warren’s ‘lifelong advocacy’ was for what? She represented corporations, preyed on the middle class and is a first class liar and cheat. Harris may be the worst of the lot. She’s snotty, patronizing, ultra-liberal, and oh yeah, not ‘black’. I don’t think Jamaican and Indian is what BLM had in mind.

And to this very day Biden doesn't know that he was actually talking with Caitlyn Jenner not Whitmer. Hey it could happen to any of us.

Harris is the ultimate Quota candidate. She was picked because of her gender and color. She's everything we have come to expect for decades of quota hope.

If by some freakish warp of reality, Biden survives to win election, we are “screwed” regardless of the VP choice. Just don’t think about it, won’t happen. Without unbelievable voter fraud, nowhere near half of voters are deluded or insane.

If they hadn't stupidly locked themselves into that promise months ago, I agree that Whitmer would have been the choice.
