Joe was very clever last night. Maybe his new campaign manager is infusing some great ideas. Announcing a female VP and a black female supreme court justice was strategically very smart.
Both candidates could have attacked Trump more but Biden had to deal with Bernie. Biden was presidential, cogent, effective and will be our next president. Bernie should drop out after the results of tomorrow's primaries when he gets trounced.
Good day for Biden. Good day for the Democratic party. Good day for the country. Bad day for Trump. He has to start worrying about jail, his immunity from law breaking will be ending in January.
Insurance actuaries would tell Senator Sanders not to drop out under any circumstance. What is the probability of Biden suffering a health set back before November? Most likely (2 1/2 to 5)% for anyone over age 77 as is Biden to drop any day. If Senator Sanders goes all the way to Milwaukee, how can DNC not nominate Sanders? If Sanders were to drop out now, DNC would give it to Senator Klobuchar or Governor Gretchen Whitmer or Governor Steve Bullock. Prior to DNC & RNC caucuses & primaries, prior to 1912, senior members of DNC would have selected someone like the three stated for DNC nominee. There is no way DNC would have selected Biden if we were in Smoked Filled Room days of DNC. Anyway, Senator Sanders needs to fight to Last Man Standing.
Regarding a black woman vice president candidate:
There are many black women in DNC who are Limousine Liberals or would make Limousine Liberals comfortable. U.S. Senator Kamala Harris or Stacey Abrams are too conservative for Senator Sanders but those two women would be fine for Biden. There have been U.S. Presidents selecting a vice president either far to the left or far to the right of president. In his 1st term, Abe Lincoln selected Hannibal Hamlin, a v.p. far to the left of Abe. In his 2nd term, Lincoln selected Andrew Johnson, a man far to the right of Abe. With Lincoln's death in office and the presidency of Andrew Johnson, there is no way Sanders will selected one of the two Limousine Liberals I stated. If Sanders announced today he would select Alicia Garza, how would you feel? If Sanders wins nomination, Sanders needs a cisgender hetro man on the economic left. A man who can persuade some Bernie Bros from 2016 who voted for trump to come back.
