54. If experience mattered

Mon Mar 16, 2020, 08:37 AM

Mar 2020

Trump wouldn't be President.

Obama would have lost to McCain

Gore would have beaten Bush

Clinton wouldn't won either

Experience doesn't matter. Never has.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Stacey Abrams ! stonecutter357 Mar 2020 #1

I like three of those. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #2

Joe committed to a female vice presidential running mate tonight. DemocratSinceBirth Mar 2020 #3

I understand that, thank you. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #5

Pete can be Kamala's running mate in 2024. Walleye Mar 2020 #14

Not for me. But I'd like to get through this election first. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #16

Rice for VP, Harris for SCOTUS padfun Mar 2020 #4

Obama for S.C. LakeArenal Mar 2020 #6

8. I like that. Either one. padfun Mar 2020 #10

I fear that if Rice were the choice, it would be Benghazi Benghazi 24/7 from the FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #17

Benghazi is a dead dog, in my opinion, and will not hunt. WheelWalker Mar 2020 #52

No hunting dog ever dies for Republicans, even dead ones will continue hunting Hunter Biden. sop Mar 2020 #80

Our vice presidential field has vastly more depth than the presidential field Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #28

Congresswoman Val Demings from Florida FM123 Mar 2020 #11

OK. Which one can you see being a really top-notch House of Roberts Mar 2020 #12

i think he will nominate Kamala Harristo the supremes .... fullfilling his other campaign promise trueblue2007 Mar 2020 #13

Love Kamala happybird Mar 2020 #15

You could probably throw a dart and hit a good VP pick BidenBacker Mar 2020 #18

Good one! Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #95

It will be Amy. ElementaryPenguin Mar 2020 #19

Amy might be too "moderate" a ticket BidenBacker Mar 2020 #20

Actually BidenBacker Mar 2020 #22

He doesn't need Rice dansolo Mar 2020 #39

Rice doesn't have a law degree (yes I know it is not needed, but the odds are so low of that Celerity Mar 2020 #21

For me it was between Klobuchar and Harris. My wife comradebillyboy Mar 2020 #23

Wives everywhere would like Klobuchar Awsi Dooger Mar 2020 #27

Do you have evidence for those assertions? ZZenith Mar 2020 #30

Wtf? MrsCoffee Mar 2020 #43

I don't agree, Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #96

Very satisfying to be able to vote for Kamala Harris chia Mar 2020 #24

Just to throw a dark horse candidate out there... SKKY Mar 2020 #25

I'm hoping he has Sally Yates slotted as AG dansolo Mar 2020 #40

That would be the obvious choice, for sure... SKKY Mar 2020 #45

Kick. EOM TruckFump Mar 2020 #26

How about Tammy Duckworth? Bayard Mar 2020 #29

ITA about Duckworth. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #32

someone other than former candidates quickesst Mar 2020 #31

Tammy Duckworth. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #33

yes !I'm glad you brought Tammy's name up. RicROC Mar 2020 #34

Tammy Duckworth is Asian-American. (eom) StevieM Mar 2020 #35

She would be an excellent choice Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #93

Wait, what? Not a single vote for Bloomberg? Bucky Mar 2020 #36

Harris doesn't make much sense Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #37

Warren was my choice for Prez Sucha NastyWoman Mar 2020 #38

She would definitely help with progressives Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #46

We progressives already support Biden Kaleva Mar 2020 #41

Not in enough numbers Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #47

You are talking about the fake progressives Kaleva Mar 2020 #83

Maybe so Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #84

I'd rather spit in their faces. Figuratively speaking of course. Kaleva Mar 2020 #88

I understand your feelings Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #91

i love all the ladies listed but Kamala by far is the best fit for Joe onetexan Mar 2020 #42

Great post. MrsCoffee Mar 2020 #44

Excellent first two points. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #50

i respectfully disagree, experience is always important, but esp'ly in this election onetexan Mar 2020 #51

If experience mattered Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #54

Each of those past elections had many other factors that heavily influenced the elections onetexan Mar 2020 #55

Nor does it make sense to claim Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #56

LOL i can see this is going nowhere so let's just agree to disagree onetexan Mar 2020 #57

You mean Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #63

oh stop the BS. At this point u're just trying to egg me on. Not wasting my time. Adios. onetexan Mar 2020 #64

No I'm pointing out Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #66

Sorry, but today, in this dangerous climate, all bets are off. Experience equals stability. Ninga Mar 2020 #60

Show me an example Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #62

Show me an election that had the exact dynamics we are experiencing now. All bets off, means Ninga Mar 2020 #67

No election has the same dynamics as another Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #68

"Experience doesn't matter" is a ludicrous assertion. TwilightZone Mar 2020 #76

Show an example in any election that it did. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #81

You made the assertion. Your responsibility to support it with evidence. LanternWaste Mar 2020 #89

If experience mattered Trump wouldn't be President Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #90

Yes!!! spicysista Mar 2020 #61

Agree with all points, plus it will be fun watching her debate Pence (if he's still on the ticket). PunkinPi Mar 2020 #65

that would be quite a fun debate to watch her drag him thru the mud wouldn't it? onetexan Mar 2020 #69

Yes it would. PunkinPi Mar 2020 #71

Val Demings needs to be in that list. honest.abe Mar 2020 #49

She's a first time Rep! Bayard Mar 2020 #77

That is an issue but she has a interesting background that could play well to voters. honest.abe Mar 2020 #79

Some people seem to think black women are all interchangeable, and it's sad. nt PunkinPi Mar 2020 #85

I'm for Val Demings, too, but Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams would also be wonderful. LaMouffette Mar 2020 #53

Not just a Harley rider. Val also had the badge to go with one! FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #70

Great picture! LaMouffette Mar 2020 #74

Belated welcome to DU! FailureToCommunicate Mar 2020 #82

Thank you! LaMouffette Mar 2020 #86

VP must have legislative experience and a history of understanding the dynamics of Ninga Mar 2020 #58

There are a few, like Harris and Klobuchar, who might well do better in... TreasonousBastard Mar 2020 #59

Biden/Harris or Harris/Biden has been my pick from the beginning. Maru Kitteh Mar 2020 #72

Michelle Obama n/t Odoreida Mar 2020 #73

Any discussion of Biden's VP should consider the real possibility of Nikki Haley as Trump's VP. honest.abe Mar 2020 #75

Kyrsten Sinema n/t Shrek Mar 2020 #87

Kyrsten Sinema Jose Garcia Mar 2020 #92

Warren would be a nice choice, but Tammy Baldwin is younger mvd Mar 2020 #94

Harris is pretty progressive, too. Turin_C3PO Mar 2020 #97

She's another good choice mvd Mar 2020 #98
