Probably shot himself in the foot in a lot of states, but I certainly approve.

I approve, too!  It was either her or Susan Rice (impressive credentials, mind you) who unfortunately had the Clinton stench all over her.

I like it, too. She is very sharp. Pence had better start
preparing for their debate right away.

I'm happy about this.  She was my pick, and she's definitely the best choice politically out of all the people on his reported shortlist.

Good choice, I think.

Solid choice. All the potential picks had issues for some of the electorate.  Hopefully Biden/Harris can unseat the orange man!

I think Kamala Harris was a good pick. I would've selected someone from the Democratic debates. That, in my mind, put it to Ms. Harris and Elizabeth Warren. Both fierce, both loyal, both seemingly devoted to the cause of the American people. Ms. Warren might have been a better pick, but she's also in her 70s; we need someone who will more likely be around.

I am definitely waiting for the VP debate. Harris is going to leave tiny Pence scraps all over the stage.

I think she will be a good VP; I think that she will make a good president if (when?) Mr. Biden passes in office. This satisfies me.

Will Pence have to have Mother on stage with him for the debates?

This ticket gives me a glimmer of hope.


'Cause my gut feeling is telling me if Trump wins again in November, this country is doomed.  Seriously, "Fall of Rome" doomed...

If Biden and his people intended to clinch the Black vote by picking Kamala Harris, they really do think African Americans are "monolithic" in their attitudes. Harris is similar to Obama. Her parents are highly educated immigrants from Jamaica and India, which makes her background relatively exotic, yet puts her firmly in the upper middle class. Obama was like that too, so he earned his stripes serving the Black community as a community organizer. Harris too served, but as a prosecutor, a starkly different kind of service. She was very successful putting people in jail, many of those Black. Quite frankly, she was a part of the criminal justice industry that killed George Floyd. Biden is already hard to love. Harris does not make it any easier.

You complain that Biden thinks the Black Community is “monolithic,” and then you view all police with the same cyclopean eye.
