Short of a medical event I don't see that happening.

 

I do think a medical event isn't unlikely, whether that's for Biden, Trump, Bernie or anyone else. They're all of an age.

Like we've talked about before, if Biden drops out and anyone besides Bernie then gets the nomination, it'll end any chance of beating Trump.

Interesting graph showing leadership and ideology of Senators who could potentially become Biden's VP. I've labeled people of interest.

 

B = Bernie

 

W = Warren

 

K = Klobuchar

 

Ba = Tammy Baldwin

 

D = Tammy Ducksworth

 

By this metric Harris has sponsored and cosponsored more lefty legislation than Warren. Interestingly enough, Warren's circle is almost perfectly overlapped with Cory Booker's.

12% last time....with polls showing between 7% and 15% this time.  so...maybe that 12% holds again?

 

Quoting this here because it seemed off-topic in the Plague thread.

 

Bear in mind Bernie's actual primary vote share has shrunk by ~28% which means his base is smaller which means that 12% or whatever it ends up being that votes for Trump is smaller.

 

FWIW I agree with @BlitzFirst on this one. Not sure it's big enough to bother worrying about. I think it's morally imperative we dump Trump but I'm not about to delude myself into thinking everyone thinks so.

But I think you're misunderstanding the discussion about Cuomo. It's a fringe idea that Biden will drop out and somehow, someway Cuomo will end up as the nominee regardless of the voting.

So who is thinking about Cuomo for Biden's VP?  Is it too obvious to be spoken of?

He can back out of any promise he's made...he's done it so many times, I expect him to never keep a promise again.  I posted in this thread previously at the over 31 times he's been caught lying in public.

 

It hasn't hurt him in the past, why would it hurt him now?

 

I think perhaps you might not represent the median expectation for Biden.

Biden just doesn't get it.  I hope he surrounds himself with much, much much better people.  Because this tool can look at suffering in the face...know the answer to it...and still do nothing about it.

 

He is Weekend at Bernies.

I just think he's already made his mind up on the woman, and made it public during the debate to score some Progressive points against Bernie. 

 

Also, nobody was paying attention to Biden's stance on the 2005 bankruptcy bill, but I think they would very much notice if he promised a woman VP and announced a man. Would it hurt him? I guess you'd just add it to the list. He has a firewall of not being Trump and that's doing 83% of his work.
