Hang on a second.

You want Bernie Sanders, fair enough but let’s be honest here.

Joe Biden - 77 years old

Bernie Sanders - 78 years old

Joe Biden - white

Bernie Sanders - white

Wealth, both I believe are millionaires?

Usually the VP job is meaningless, but this time the VP pick could affect the future of our country.

I understand, my point is that there isn’t a great financial disparity between the two candidates discussed, or am I mistaken?

Why have no senators or members of Congress in a competitive race endorsed Sanders?

What are they afraid of?

Which is why each of them should pick a VP who is in their late 40s to late 50s. You can make a list.

Amy Klobuchar (59)

Kamala Harris (55)

Cory Booker (50)

Andrew Yang (45)

FYI: Pete Buttigieg is not a consideration, in my opinion, because he has minimal government experience (he should run for the Senate), and worse, he has not been forthcoming with who his donors are.

That's no different than the last 4 years though... what makes you think the big mac guzzling obese trump is in better health than these two? Don't tell me it's his skin tone. VP pick is easy IMO - if it's Bernie pick a moderate like Pete or Amy, if it's Biden pick a young and more progressive star.

I get your point, but it may not be wise to ignore someone who has been killing it with results... a lot of people want Pete.

In the case of Sanders who has a worth of some $2 million. Not that much. Certainly not a rich guy (my point).

In the case of Biden who has a net worth of some $9 million. Significantly better but overall not super-rich.

Millionaire was considered very wealthy in the 1950s/1960s. These days the term is still used by some to signify high wealth. Usually by old and poor conservatives who do not realize the term does not mean what it did 50+ years ago. And this explains why GOP operatives are using the term to equate "rich" Biden and "rich" Sanders to "rich" Trump.

Perhaps they can have a “poor off” like Clinton and Biden did for 2016.

Based on the GOP manipulation of the process I do not trust the polls. Pete needs to add some experience mileage to his resume. And he needs to reveal exactly where his donations are coming from ... which he refuses to do. That is a warning bell to me.

I thought Stephanie Abrams was on everybody’s VP list: younger, black, from the South, a voting-rights activist. Maybe I’m wrong.

Stacey Abrams

Stacey Abrams needs to win a governorship, or a Senate seat.

Stephanie Abrams is ??? a Canadian working as a American TV meteorologist. I think that is who you were subconsciously thinking about (a younger blonde female).

Yep but the limitations are 1) she lost and 2) she is not well known

Like Pete, Stacey needs some higher-level government experience (governor, senator ... house only if it is at least three terms).

No no no, it's ALL because of humans. "Muhh, 97%!!" Humans are the center of the universe, afterall.

Science has proven that we are not the center of the universe.

Science has also proven that if we keep burning fossil fuels then the Earth will continue warming at an accelerated rate until we are all dead. But that's OK. It won't affect the rest of the universe. So we'll be dead, but at least we will be humble.

He has proven he can impress people and is without question the most composed candidate besides Warren. If he is top 3 after super tuesday that'll cement his popularity.

FYI: You are basically describing Trump in 2016.

Choice A: Nominate a toxic soclialist with an oppo file a mile thick

Choice B: Use party rules to stop the socialist from losing the WH, senate and house but dividing the Party.

Choice C: Just vote for Biden for pete's sake.

Glad to see how committed you are to party unity and not tearing each other down...
