My early prediction for our 2020 Presidential ticket:

[Kingofalldems]

Biden/Warren.

Unbeatable.

[greymattermom]

1. I usually think of both of them as East Coast folks,

but Warren is from Oklahoma. That could be a big plus.

[DownriverDem]

26. I don't

think Warren would want to be VP. She is so valuable in the Senate. If Biden would pick a strong, progressive, Dem, woman it would be a formidable ticket. We need the Senate, House & White House to change direction, It won't be easy or fast either.

[Dave in VA]

2. I would be pleased with this...

I've also been leaning toward a Biden/Abrams ticket? My thinking is that we need to have a minority female on the ticket to help boost turnout.

[DownriverDem]

27. Yep

That political strategy would be great. Anything that gives us an edge is needed.

[Drunken Irishman]

3. I actually think this is a likely ticket if Warren doesn't win the nomination.

[mainstreetonce]

4. I like it

And it's Warren,I like VP Pete or Castro.

[paulkienitz]

5. dream tickets with top rivals never happen

whoever the final running mate is, I doubt it will be anyone in the top six candidates for the presidency.

Biden-Castro is a more realistic and balanced idea, I think. Castro might work for Warren as well, though maybe someone a bit more southern-fried might be more strategic.

[lapfog_1]

28. My first choice was Biden / Harris

east coast / west coast
white male / non-white female
Harris makes for a good "attack role VP"

but I don't know about that now... now I am thinking Biden / Castro.

[Thunderbeast]

36. If Biden wins, California is a given...

Texas would be in play with Castro or Beto on the ticket. Abrams would swing Georgia and NC.

I want Harris or Sally Yates for AG. Either one would be able to clean the current stench form DOJ!

My other cabinet favorites:

Defense: Wes Clark
State: Samantha Power
Homeland Security: Malcom Nance
HUD: Pete Butegedge
Veterans Tammy Duckworth
Treasury Elizabeth Warren
Interior. Jay Inslee
Agriculture. Marcia Fudge

[Merlot]

38. Texas would be in play with Beto on the ticket

Castro doesn't have the high profile in Texas that Beto has. Not sure Castro could put Texas in play the way Beto would.

[Eliot Rosewater]

56. CA is a given regardless

ANY other implication is BASHING our candidates

so sick of the BASHING of Democrats

[questionseverything]

61. i would hope

n/t

[Celerity]

62. Samantha Power is constitutionally ineligible to be Sec of State

Power was born in London, the daughter of Irish parents.

[Thunderbeast]

65. Damn...I knew she was ineligible for President

Are all people in the line of succession also subject to the same qualification? If the rare situation arose, could the position be skipped?

[Celerity]

68. Yes, skipped over to the next Sec, Treasury. So technically

I guess she could serve. Moscow Mitch's uber corrupt criminal traitor wife, Elaine Chao, Sec of Transportation, is Taiwanese born to Taiwanese parents, so, she loses her position as 14th in line and is skipped over, to the numpty Rick Perry, Sec of Energy (shame it's not brain energy.)

[Midwestern Democrat]

67. She could still be Secretary of State - Kissinger was born in Germany and Albright was born in

Czechoslovakia.

[Celerity]

69. Yes, I amended it, see my reply 68.

Cheers

[left-of-center2012]

6. My prediction ...

Too early to be making predictions

[honest.abe]

8. 76/70

Can we have at least one our ticket who isn't a senior citizen??

[cannabis_flower]

19. I like

Warren/O'Rourke

[honest.abe]

20. That would be an interesting ticket.

I can handle that.

[pattyloutwo]

32. Agreed

I also like Warren/ O’Rourke. They’re both kind and really good people who care about those in our society who are struggling. Americans are so ready for that after Trump - it would be inspiring, hopeful, a better America.

[mac56]

35. Can we have at least one Biden thread that doesn't include ageist bullshit?

[honest.abe]

53. Do you seriously believe two 70+ candidates on our ticket makes sense?

BTW, I love Joe and think he is probably the best choice as our nominee. I also like Warren. She would make a great President. I just dont think they should be together on our ticket.

[mac56]

58. Doubling down on the ageism.

[honest.abe]

60. Huh??

[Doreen]

9. I like that but don't those two dislike each other a lot?

I have liked the thought of a Biden/ Harris ticket. Despite who is our final candidate we NEED to have a woman being either the president or vice.

[FakeNoose]

25. Yes they really wouldn't be a good team

Biden and Warren can hardly stand each other.
Both individuals are great with other people, but not with each other.

[caraher]

10. I think I'd rather keep Warren in the Senate if she isn't at the top of the ticket

How about Biden/Stacy Abrams?

[question everything]

13. Warren, and Harris is not going to be second to anyone

And, really, I think that in general the running mate is not a former rival. Bush Sr. was the exception. Biden dropped right after the Iowa caucus and his experience was a good match for the novice Obama in both domestic and international affairs. Many were hoping for an Obam/Clinton ticket but it was clear it would not have worked.

[hurl]

14. Warren/Biden

Even better - bold new leadership with a nod to the comfort and experience we crave. That would do better to put the race out of stealing distance IMO.

[Cousin Dupree]

15. My prediction: any Dems. Any.

[mtnsnake]

16. Hell will freeze over first

Warren might be on a ticket with someone, but if she is, it will be as President, not VP. She is in it to win and nothing else. Besides, Joe Biden won't even be in the running by next Spring and will most likely drop out of the race as soon as his poll numbers sink well below Warren's or below someone else who you least suspect at this point in time.

[Kingofalldems]

37. I see zero evidence for anything you just posted.

[Hoyt]

17. Main issue with Warren, is she's too much like Sanders and trump when it comes to global economics.

Both Sanders' and Warren's vocal opposition to Obama's trade agreements and support of what Warren now calls "Economic Patriotism," is what got trump elected.

I wouldn't have a big issue with Warren as VP, because I think her heart is in the right place, even if her populist idea -- that we can make it trading among ourselves -- has been proven wrong by trump, and will likely drag this country down for decades in ways that impede all that she is promising.

[duhneece]

18. How fired up will this get young voters?

I think it’s a possible concern. Mind you, I think this would make the best ticket.

[Auggie]

21. Their politics are too far apart IMO ...

If it is Biden, I expect someone younger and a tad more moderate.

[BigmanPigman]

22. I read your post title and said "I bet it's Biden/ Warren"

and then I read the rest of your post. How did I know?!?! I've been very intuitive this week, too many "coincidences" to list. I have been thinking Biden/Harris for over a year but over the past three months it has become Biden/Warren in my head more than anyone else.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

46. Did you fall on your head? Sometimes that makes u smarter!

[BigmanPigman]

52. I think it is my birth date...Cancer.

We are supposedly intuitive. We also believe in the occult.

Maybe I have witch DNA too? I found out last year that a relative was the only woman tried as a witch in PA in 1683 and William Penn himself made a joke about it. Her neighbors were missing livestock and bad crops effected them so they were pissed off. They said their livestock was levitating and she did it. When they needed evidence for the trial to convict her it DISAPPEARED! Ha! I love it. She was acquitted then moved to NJ. I wish I has her skills to make the fucking moron disappear forever.

[FakeNoose]

23. To us it seems like a dream ticket, but it's not gonna happen

They really hate each other. They don't get along, I'm not even sure if they speak to each other.
Warren has criticized Biden for most of her political career, and he's really sick of it.

[5starlib]

24. I'm not even sure they like each other, plus a loss of a Senate seat

Biden already says that he needs to have a symbiotic relationship with the VP. Warren ain't it. Plus, we'd end up losing a Senate seat, at least temporarily. It's not worth it.

[onetexan]

29. +1 -K&R

My preference would be Biden/Harris (assuming she mends fences with him) or Biden/Beto.

[jcgoldie]

30. Dont think so

I do not think Biden will win the nomination, but if he does, there are options at VP that would help him much more in the general... and I'm saying this as Liz Warren's biggest fan.

[underpants]

31. Biden Harris is a lock

Both coasts. She will bring the turnout and this wouldn't even be close.

[efhmc]

33. Popped into my head before I clicked through.

[CanonRay]

34. I like it, as I'm a Warren fan

but I actually think if you have Biden at the top of the ticket, Biden/Harris makes more sense.

[Amimnoch]

39. As long as it is NOT Bernie.

That would make a good ticket. Would be pretty enthusiastic about most of our candidates running in any just about any combination. As long as it isn’t Bernie, and we go on to win the GE, I’ll be happy.

[pertello]

40. Have you traveled to the Midwest? South?

I’m afraid you’re thinking like a coastal college educated intellectual. Those other voters- Bible Belt , gun toting, easily brainwashed -and some racist voters will vote for the same snake oil salesman they did last time. 1/3 of Democrats will sit home out of laziness and the rest of the Republicans will vote their wallets and along party lines.
We lose again if it’s Biden/Warren. Biden should pick a young Midwest centrist; a great talker, someone who can shine as a veteran and a Christian. See my choice below.

[Kingofalldems]

41. So you contend that 1/3 of Democrats are lazy?

Terrible post.

[MrsCoffee]

42. And concerned about coastal liberal elites apparently.

So many talking points in one post....

[pertello]

73. Coastal Liberal Elites

And the talking heads on MSNBC (I’m looking at you Rachel, Joe, Mika) lulled us Dems into a false sense of complacency in 2016. So apathetic Dems sat home thinking it was in the bag for Hillary. Maybe they were thinking, “Trump is clearly insane, full of shit, who would fall for his snake oil salestalk?” Michael Moore tried to warn us, but we didn’t listen. Both MM and Bill Maher tried to warn us again last weekend on Bill’s show.

Are we listening now? Understand that even though I’m a very enthusiastic Buttigieg supporter I will most definitely “vote blue no matter who”, as well as take my 85 year old mother out in her wheelchair to vote! Yes, she knows she can fill out an absentee ballot, but she adamantly insists on going to the polls.

[pertello]

71. Yes! See the facts below:

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/registered-voters-who-stayed-home-probably-cost-clinton-the-election/

[mtnsnake]

50. What you say is true

There is no way Biden, if he were to miraculously win the nomination, would choose Elizabeth Warren for VP when their politics are light years apart, nor is there any way in which Warren would ever consider running with Biden when she knows it would be a lost cause with him heading the ticket. It would be 2016 all over again. Besides, Warren is in it to win. She isn't running for 2nd place. Not that she'd ever choose him, but a Warren/Biden ticket would be more believable than a Biden/Warren ticket. Then again, if Warren wins the nom, she'd probably choose someone like Castro, Abrams, or Buttigieg as her running mate.

[Eliot Rosewater]

57. Wallets? If someone votes their wallet they would never not ONCE vote for ANY repub, you

dont sound like....never mind sigh

[AlexSFCA]

43. I think the only unbeatable ticket is Biden/Beto

[MRDAWG]

44. Obama endorsed Joe Biden..........

twice. He needs Harris for VP. Minority vote and no Socialist label.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

45. I would like it...but you'd have to completely

write off Texas. Which we might need to offset TRussian interference. Trump keeps mentioning Minnesota so I predict it will happen there big time. He can't keep a secret.

As for Texas, they are #1 bigotted toward women big time and #2 her liberal politics would scare them to trump again. And because of Bidens age, VP will matter.

Hate all this but it's the realistic truth. Also Warren buys him nothing geographically.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

47. Like Biden Yang or Biden Beto. Although Yang is from

NY which doesn't help...just think the guy is sharp and cool.

[calguy]

48. I'd vote for that

[Chicagogrl1]

49. I think...

It will be Biden/Stacey Abrams

[Kurt V.]

59. +1 me too

[Celerity]

63. yes, or maybe Biden/Deval Patrick nt

[Loki Liesmith]

51. Down with either of them

A good ticket

[evertonfc]

54. Never happen

Why? Age. The VP will not come from the half dozen candidates and my guess it will be a much younger canidate, maybe from a battleground state. A Biden/Abrams ticket would be far superior electorally than a ticket with Warren. I love Warren but she doesn't really expand the map- in my opinion. I personally like the AG of California, Tammy Duckworth and Sen. Masto of Nevada. Wild cards Andrew Gillum and Tom Perez

[5starlib]

66. There will not be 2 white people and 2 males

Black women are the base of the Democratic Party, so if there is a white male as the nominee, there should be a black woman as VP, IMO,

[Poeraria]

55. I'd be happy with this.

Love them both.

[Garrett78]

64. 2 white septuagenerians from New England? No thanks.

[Gothmog]

70. I lie Biden/Harris

[ecstatic]

72. Biden/ Booker perhaps?

I don't see JB and EW meshing well. Booker could shield the ticket from the smears coming from russian bots regarding Biden and mass incarceration (yes, I know that Booker piled on as well, which is why he has to help clean it up).
