‘A dream ticket?: Black lawmakers pitch Biden-Harris to beat Trump

[The Purge]

The Congressional Black Caucus may have found an answer to its Joe Biden dilemma: Vice President Kamala Harris.

Some black lawmakers are agonizing over whether to back Biden or two members of the close-knit caucus — Sens. Harris and Cory Booker — who are also vying for the White House, according to interviews with a dozen CBC members.

But with the former vice president jumping out to a huge, if early, lead in the polls, several CBC members are warming to the idea of a Biden-Harris ticket to take on President Donald Trump.

“That would be a dream ticket for me, a dream ticket!” said Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). “If she is not the nominee, that would be a dream ticket for this country.”

Harris is everything the 76-year-old Biden is not. The freshman senator from California is younger, a woman and a person of color. As Biden gets dinged for his bipartisan bromides, Harris is winning applause from progressives for her merciless cross-examination of Trump officials.

Democrats are also desperate to boost black turnout in 2020, blaming the drop-off from Barack Obama’s wins as one reason for Hillary Clinton’s defeat.

“Either combination there, I’d love,” said Rep. Anthony Brown (D-Md.). “I think he’s going to look to balance his ticket so that the ticket itself is more appealing. ... I think it would make sense and it wouldn’t surprise me if he picked a woman of color.”

As always, Democrats not choosing candidates based on merit. Racial politics at it's finest.

You put a radical fire-eater like Kamala Harris on the ticket and you can kiss a huge chunk of the centrist Independent vote goodbye.

Plugs Biden's endorsement of Harris practically writes itself:

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American woman who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking babe," Biden said. "I mean, that's Brown Sugar, man."

Biden: “I believe the fence is needed…[because] people are driving across that border with TONS, TONS, hear me, TONS of everything from byproducts for methamphetamine to cocaine to heroin & it's all coming up through corrupt Mexico.” Thanks for the support Joe! BUILD THE WALL!

That is what Biden is for
Harris will rally the left to the polls

Make a strong ticket and pave the way for a Harris Presidency

Her presidency would start about 6 months after she and Joe win the election.

Hopefully not

VP picks are highly overrated. No one votes for a specific candidate based on the VP that candidate picks.

You mean Mike Pence can’t carry a ticket?

Too reactionary

Harris is smooth

Biden and Harris are like two military people on liberty. Get the antibiotics ready. That ain't the Dream ticket....that's the Ream ticket.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I hope so. This is the ideal dream ticket. It's also the best the democrats can come up with. Although, Buttplug and Booker make a much cuter couple.
