Given the fact that Biden has a rape allegation against him, among his other issues of touching women inappropriately, he might have to pick a woman. That might help him dodge the same standard that was applied to jutice KAVANAUGH where supposedly all rape victims are automatically telling the truth. Don't forget the #MeToo movement!

I know that sounds real partisan but it's true. If any Democrats are offended then I apologize but then again I see Repub. candidates being insulted, as well.

Funny you should say that, because it's the worst thing he can do in his considering Kamala Harris as VP.
1) because she blasted an Innocent Kavanaugh for political tactic, but now is silent with Biden's real concerning incident and is putting herself into the predators consideration list.
2)the Dems forced Acosta to step down for being the DA who allowed a tampered down sentence plee deal with Epstein, and yet Kamala never steped down from her Senate position for doing the same exact thing when she was DA.

That's 2 severe sexual misconduct issues she was unconcerned about while only using a false incidence for a political fascist act against opposition party and thus for abuse of their position against their rival accross the isle.
That is not gonna sit well with the Public, especially the real victims and metoo movement who suffer from fake cases making believability and coming forward harder.

I agree with your point that having a woman vice president may be a liability to someone like him. Brilliant!

To bring Mr. Biden from the brink of left wing insanity, he should choose a "moderate" Democrat if there is such a thing anymore. Joe Manchin? One thing he should do is to pick the best person for the job, and not play identity politics. Promising that it has to be a woman is a form of identity politics.

Joe Biden doesn't even have the courage of his convictions any more. He once called VP Pence a decent man, but was bullied into retracting that compliment by internet trolls.

Joe Biden used to be a moderate, but he has pandered in extremis to the left wing of his party. Hopefully his running mate will be better, and not worse.

I think he'll pick Val Demings. Biden has already committed to picking a woman, and the fact that Demings is black, a former police chief, and was one of the Democratic impeachment managers, means she ticks a lot of boxes.

One thing he should do is to pick the best person for the job, and not play identity politics.

On the contrary, since the Vice President is, in the words of John Adams, "the most insignificant office that ever the invention of man contrived," if there is ever a time to "play identity politics" it's with a VP pick.

The Trump team knows this well: They picked Mike Pence as VP in large part because he is a prominent evangelical Christian politician, and they wanted to shore up Trump's support among evangelicals.

In fact, since Trump doesn't really have any governing political philosophy, his campaign is largely centered on identity politics. His supporters don't often think of it in those terms because he's playing to white male and evangelical Christian identities, where they tend to reserve the term "identity politics" for women and ethnic minorities.

Susan Rice, but it doesn't matter because he won't win, and it's possible the Democrats will dump him for someone else knowing he can't win.

I do fear that Biden doesn't have a chance to win, but is it not too late for Democrats to come up with another nominee?
