Edwards, Capehart: Joe Biden Has An ‘Embarrassment Of Riches’ With For VP | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
Just here to say, don’t get complacent.
REGISTER to vote.
Then GO VOTE.
@Deplorable On jan 20th BIDEN will be YOUR president. Hows that make you feel?
Yeah, and unlike the democratic primary, your vote MIGHT get counted!
@james mack is a bad case of TDS 🤭😁😂
@Deplorable TDS STANDS FOR TRUMPS DERANGED SUPPORTERS. You didnt know that? Must be one of them uneducated trump supporters.
Amen
Florida has done less coronavirus tests than Australia
Australia has less than 9,000 cases, Florida has over 200,000
But Trump and DeSantis (Florida governor) claim that the only reason why Florida has so many cases is because they’re doing so much testing…….
@Deplorable Seriously? I just debunked you and instead of accepting the truth or trying to present a counter argument with facts, you come up with that meaningless sentence….
You Trump fans are honestly pathetic. Bunch of brainwashed sheep
Propaganda once again..when will “T” and his base realize that Hitler’s playbook don’t work in America😊 perhaps when our allies become stupid huh? I’d hate to burst the bubble but the rise in cases are the younger people because they’ve been, oh oh wait for it: “Stupid”, not able to wait to go out to the bars and parties without distancing and putting masks on. I’d say you need to walk into the hospitals and ask the doctors and nurses who’s been testing positive and going to the hospitals here.
Thank you FootballNerd for being an ally, it’s not because of the testing. Desantis is the golden boy of “T”. He won’t get another term, trust me.Vote Blue down the line 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Florida is catching up with California fast.
@mary jane yes it is. Scary. I don’t go anywhere without a mask, and only go out when absolutely necessary. I listen to what the doctors and scientists are saying, NOT Desantis or Trump. Just heard tonight, after Trump said he wants all schools open come fall, Desantis has now mandated schools to open in fall…things that make you go hmmmm? Now everything is trickling down to mayors..repuke-lians don’t want to deal, that simple..stay safe out in Cali
Biden could choose a Barbie Doll and she’d be a better VP than Pence.
he does like smelling kids hair
@SouthSide Chicago I see you ate alot of paint chips as a child
@SouthSide Chicago pure fantasy
Just NOT Baghdad Barbie Kaleigh!
@Minnie Minosa Just ask pence’s Mother/wife she tell him what to do!
I like all of the potential candidates so far, but Susan Rice is at the top of the list for me at this point.
@William IV That is because you are educated regarding her and the need for someone like her. Most voters cannot even name how many senators there are and most would be hard pressed to say who Susan Rice is much less what experience she has. That means the GOP will define who she is just like they did with H. Clinton. Rice is a very intelligent person and would do well internationally and long term. Just not as someone to pull in the votes.
@vidsbyme Yes, the GOP will “define” her, and not well, I’m afraid. This is why I suggest Wiley, since they have nothing to smear her with. Pulling in the votes is the big deal this election. Dems are not enthused with Biden, but you need them all on board and some Republicans, too. Adjustments can always be made after the election. 🙂
@vidsbyme I must admit you do raise an interesting point
@Dan Apparently….
so do you
Bryn Carlson not really sure what you mean there bud.
Biden is not my first choice because of his age, but Trump, is NOT a choice period. He has done enough damage to our Country.
Republicans for Biden🇺🇸
It’s the only choice!!
@Victor Allen Jones
Joe Biden will turn 78 in November which is over a hundred days.
President Trump turn 74 3 weeks ago
@A U T I S M Journey YEAH, trumps old and stupid! At least Biden has a brain that works and has a vocabulary over 10words … right?!
Republicans laugh at you.🤣
@Heather Remlin 🤣
Wrong!
KANYE 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Vote Trump out in a landslide in November. Don’t get complacent and stay home. We need to send a strong message to root out Trumpism.
@Jp Phil pretty telling about why I’m not voting for him. It’s covert for idiots; smart people already know the game.
@rolback Trump/PUTIN
Xoxo from Mother….. Russia
@Heather RemlinHe’s a triple threat, stupid, not funny and probably smells like, whiskey and feet !
@William H Music 2020 AMEN🇺🇸
@rolback
Remember that piece of toilet paper that tRump wore as a fashion statement on his shoe?
Well that piece of shithouse paper would be a better President than pence and tRump combined!
But don’t worry the next republiKan President will be President Putin of the Russian / US confederation of dicky lickers!
Biden has an embarrassment of riches and Trump is just an embarrassment!
@michael boultinghouse Trump won’t be reelected so no worry about that!
@NDFOOTBALL LMFAO sure it will! LMFAO HAHAHAHAHA!!!
@michael boultinghouse if Trump wins it will be a rigged election! Thanks for pointing that out!
@Marilyn Reallon
It should compulsory for all tRump supporters to walk around in Circles with placards saying DON’T ASK ME, MY BRAIN JUST LEFT THE BUILDING”
@Colin Mahoney so true so true!
I hope he doesn’t pick Kamela Harris. I want her to have Barr’s job.
@Stella Shepherd If that makes you feel better.
@INFOMANIA X u are a bot u are braindead
@D. K. no you’re wrong as always.. you ain’t been right about shytt for over 3 year
@David Guelette
First up Epstein’s Suicide ably assisted by trumps little Barr-Barr!
And then prosecute Fred Flintstone Barr
I hope Harris, Rice, Abrams, Warren, etc FILL president elect biden’s cabinet.
Deplorable another #Cult45 member showing why we love them and their Dear Leader so much. You should be ashamed of yourself. Probably never been ashamed of anything in your life.
@Laura K there will be 1000 new Anders Breiviks hunting your teenagers and exterminating your next generation of treason. its the ultimate crime and deserves the ultimate punishment, and you put your families at grave risk. Rig the election? overthrow our government? you will BURN
Rice: VP, AG: Harris I want to see her prosecute Trump🤣🤣
@rolback
No Biden wouldn’t want Pence in his cabinet!
@Deplorable
I can just see you walking around in Circles whilst chanting Don’t ask me, my Brain just left the building!
Just here to say hi USA. It gonna be better soon. So long you get rid of the orange menace.
Hopefully. If they vote. However, things has changed and what was uttered a couple of times in the beginning of Trump’s “presidency” echoes still: Will politics ever be the same again? Will the democrats be able to backtrack the political game field that has been going on the last couple of years now? Can things be undone?,.. 😕
C J Can you umburn a building destroyed by rioters? No. The same is true to your question. Trump will probably win his re-election because the Democratic Party is too divided and radical.
There were like twenty different candidates and most people didn’t like Biden at all, and he only won Nomination because people recognized him. Even then, he did the stupidest move of not choosing Bernie to be his VP, which would have gotten Biden the Bernie Bros, which will now switch to Trump voters, because Bernie was screwed by the DNC again.
Biden’s appeal is weak, even amongst other Democrats. There’s no way he can get moderates and voters on the fence, especially after Trump destroys him in the debates. The DNC’s best bet is to prepare for a defeat and get better candidates (preferably moderate ones) ready for the 2024 election.
@C J yes, things can be undone and redone …
@Aaron Landry no, he needed a woman and a woman of color is right if you want to bring this country together ….
Dont pick sara palin
Uniquely Lily hey as long as he got a woman Joe is good
You do realize she’s repukelican right? Nope definitely Susan Rice, hands down
Uniquely Lily that’s the point Sarah is so much better then any Democratic picks. I know Biden was joking but she would be honestly not too bad
WHAAAAAAAT??? WHERE DID THIS COME FROM … SHE’S REPUBTHUG … A GOP
@Dan OMGosh … joking, right??? can she still see alaska from her front porch????? seriously????????
You don’t judge (pick) someone by the color of their skin but by the content of their character!
@Elizabeth Newcity
You already know they say ish just to make themselves feel a sense of superiority. PERIOD
vidsbyme… that’s what we’ve been telling white America all our lives🤦🏽♀️
Well, every single candidate being considered has character aplenty, so what is your point?
@Elizabeth Newcity no its 100% true
@Fancy Brooks My point is it should not be “a black or Latino or disabled or Asian” but a qualified person. There should not be a qualifying statement of race or color. Oh, qualified is different than character. My son has a lot of character but would be a terrible VP pick because he is unqualified.
he needs to pick whoever Florida wants. Shut Trump down in Florida and it is game over
Ice 247 Yeah, I went to Florida recently and they’re pretty supportive of Trump. Met a bunch of guys from Ohio in Florida that were also super into Trump too. Fascinated me some, because I’m Third Party, but the main reason seems to be because Trump’s not defending the riots and denouncing them for being violent rioters.
Even then, none of them could name any of Biden’s talking points or whatever his slogan is. I haven’t even met people online that could name those. Biden seems to have very weak appeal to moderates or voters on the fence and that typically means they’ll swing right for Trump like they did in 2016.
@Aaron Landry Iam sorry to say this but some Floridians just don’t know the meaning of big vocabulary.
I’ m a floridian and proud to vote for biden , please vote this is our future lets stop trump in nov
Traci Schmidt I’m pretty sure it’s just because Biden’s a very weak and very generic Democrat candidate. I’ve seen more about Nancy Pelosi recently than I have Joe Biden, making him all the more forgettable as a candidate. Him being a career politician and having done things like support a Segregationist protest in the 70’s and playing a key role in the War on Drugs definitely don’t help him win over older voters either.
This seemingly leaves him with a support group of die hard Democrats (“Vote blue no matter who”) and a bunch of people that just hate everything Trump does. So, it makes sense that a lot of ordinary Florida citizens wouldn’t want to vote for him.
Humberto Hernandez Why do you want to stop Trump?
Frankly, if he chose the Virgil puppet out of thunderbirds, it’s be an improvement on Pence … I mean really, doesn’t pence have a thought on his own or is he entirely reliant on whoever changes his batteries
I’d prefer it wasn’t Biden first as there must be younger and more dynamic candidates somewhere in millions of people, but frankly, right now, I’d vote for cold rice pudding rather than trump … and the fact is that if cold rice pudding won, it’d be an improvement
Whoever he chooses needs to be looked at as the future president should Biden not make it four years.
Don stop click baiting or talking about your imaginary “guns”. Those with the real ones never talk them up honey🤣
Gosh you trumps cult are so funny great for a laugh most read the comments to laugh really ye sound like kiddies so immature keep it up we all need a good laugh daily
See, that’s the problem with Biden. Biden may be replaced immediately or he may never be replaced and the Democratic Party will just keep saying that he’s fine, because they’re just sticking to Party lines. Either way, that’s a lose lose situation
Honestly, so true. He will be 78 this year. By the end of 4 years 82..I mean some people are okay at those ages but very few.
I am Criswell and I come to you from this September: Jobidden is going to choose an old white guy.
Biden should choose a running mate who also has the qualifications to be president — whoever she is.
Why. Since you know dam right joe is not presidential. 👈👈🤣
N Hoff Hey, you misspelled “Pocahontas”
Biden thought Obama was clean enough! Can he find a clean enough black female
Randy Couch *woman of color, not black woman
That means he might try to call Warren Native American again, which would be a meme gold mine
😂
Biden has a tough job. All these women would also make great picks for various top positions in his cabinet.
Shhhhh…Slow Joe is sleeping.😔💤
😂😂😂😂😂 pandering is a tough job?
Senator Duckworth has something Warren and Harris don’t have – Military experience. Susan Rice has the necessary experience dealing with foreign nations and national security. Either Rice or Duckworth would make a great VP.
💯
Ambassador Rice is a classy dame!
Please not Senator Harris! I think that Rice would make an excellent VP.
u right
STACEY ABRAMS …
Elizabeth Warren can barely tolerate Joe. He shouldn’t have to deal with someone who is so adversarial towards him. He needs someone who will have his back like he had Obama’s. If she wants to push him left or whatever she can do it from the senate.
Also two people in their seventies is probably too much.
Elizabeth Warren has the financial chops to straighten out the economy
Sagisli Elizabeth Warren is a charlatan. Acts progressive then stabs ppl in the back. She makes claims with no evidence. Hillary 2.0
@Sagisli YEA, SHE NEEDS TO DO THE ECONOMY … SHE’S BRILLIANT ON THE ECONOMY
