Mara Lago was shut down due to confirmed coronavirus cases, and is being scrubbed at taxpayer expenses. People can't get tested. Business must decontaminate workplaces themselves. Trump orders a full on Hazmat team to Mara Lago. No wonder he declared a national emergency. Someone else has to pay for Trump infecting his permanent residence and place of business.

You are probably right. But I don't see Biden taking any chances. He will pick whoever will most help him win.

the choice of veep is an odd one and different every time.
did biden help obama win? I I don't really see that. Did Kaine help HRC in any way?
there's always a different reason, and it is usually based on some kind of chemistry between the presidential nominee and the vp nominee. Hard to handicap that.
Trump and Pence have zero chemistry.
Biden (or Bernie) needs to pick the person most capable of taking over as president, especially at his age.

Obama definitely needed Biden. He needed someone with experience, especially in foreign policy. Biden and McCain were probably the two top foreign policy experts in the senate. Obama had not even served a single term, so he was vulnerable to the "lack of experience" argument.
McConnell is in full panic mode. His conservative court packing legacy is in jeopardy. So, he is asking older Federal Judges to retire so Trump and he can appoint younger harder right conservatives to take their places.

Biden should pick a black running mate. Kamala Harris, based on ability and experience, would be the best choice. Strategically it's too bad she's from California, but she would still help him nationally, and it is a needed push back against what has been a very openly racist administration that has turned the calendar back many decades there.
We can't forget that Trump cheated here, giving himself an advantage, and for all we know he has cheated in ways we don't know. Biden needs to put the hammer down all the way to the finish line, even if it appears he is way ahead. Kamala Harris as a VP pick helps him do that, but she would also be a GREAT VP.
If he goes with a black woman, Harris definitely has the experience and exposure. I agree she would make a great VP.
But I don't think Harris helps him at all in the South (or in any swing state). Stacy Abrams helps a lot if Biden wants to make a play for Georgia. And given the fact that both senate seats are up for grabs here, it's not a bad play. With Stacy, he could win Georgia's 16 electoral votes AND flip two senate seats.
Stacy is smart and savvy enough to be president. But I don't see her as ready yet.
So Harris and Abrams are opposites. Harris doesn't help him win but is a good choice for the job. Stacy helps him win, but is not a great choice for the job (yet).
I think it will be Harris, unless they don't like each other
Trump has no shot in November and the Dems could take the Senate back as well.
McConnell knows this which is why he's panicking.

Remember not long ago when Rs were screaming about Obama taking a short vacation with his family to Hawaii every year? Trump has violated just about every ethical code out there and created a monetary black hole to siphon as much as he could from hardworking taxpayers. Now we are footing the bill to clean up Mar-a-Virus.

Trump admin and the GOP are now on different islands. CV has paralyzed them and messed with their little racket. Trump starts to tweet about unity today, so you know there is pure panic. He deserves every bit of hell coming his way.

Trump is in huge trouble. He is a percentage point behind Biden in ARIZONA. In 11 of the last 12 presidential elections Arizona when for the Republican presidential candidate. If he is behind in Republican Arizona he is screwed.
I agree that Abrams isn't ready yet.
I think Harris still helps him win. It is important to get out the black vote, and she helps with that nationally even if just a little. I think Biden still wins no matter who he chooses, but it helps even more if he picks a black woman. Time to let black Americans know that they are accepted and deserving of their seat at the table. LOTS of repairing that needs to be done after this monster in the White House is gone.
