Only the Democrats could be given a golden goose and end up with a dud.

Would've been my pick from the candidates he had available.
They hate her
Not surprised that its Harris. She has been the main frontrunner ever since it looked like Biden would win the nomination.
Meh.
Aw shit. Rice would have been perfect.
I don’t even know who the good choice would be to be honest but it doesn’t feel like she’s it.
Whoever was the person with the shit sandwich analogy, they had it bang on. Barf.
Good, expected and safe pick. I don't think that she will bring many votes in though, but she has enough experience to step in if anything happens to Biden.
And I hope there will be a VP debate. She is gonna grill Pence (worse than when Biden grilled Ryan).

My impression is that they like her, but never thought she could win, or make a good president.
This pretty much means Susan Rice will be offered Secretary of State if he wins.
Both sets of debates will be enjoyable to watch.
Considering that she was ambassador in the UN, that would make perfect sense.
Trump vs Biden especially. Trump bragging about being able to find the elephant in the picture and Biden being confused in what state they are.
Her shortcomings in the Black community are clearly being a representative of law enforcement and particularly prosecution. That played out in her presidential run imo. As a VP pick or Attorney general which i thought she would be excellent for as well she should be fine. She has a strong LGBT history with her work in California.
She is knowledgeable, formidable debater, as a partner for Biden and getting policy pushed I think she will be effective especially if Dems get the Senate too which is a must.
It's a fine pick.
Biden has a chance at showing the strong diversity and depth of the Democratic party in picking qualified and diverse cabinet members. He should look into some Progressives there too where they fit as well as more women.
Apparently, she is pro federal marijuana legalization and expunging records for cannabis non violent related crimes.
Will Biden share her view on those issues? Or is she being picked with the condition she doesn't speak up about controversial issues?

Didn't she throw a bunch of innocent people in jail?
Also, she almost got the job in 2013 until Obama decided to go with Kerry.
Ah well I'm down with that. At least we have 7th Oct to look forward to. Pence v Harris. In my diary!
In the immortal words of Maximus Aurelius "Is that the best you can do???"
She is a Phony
I seem to remember Harris doing well with questioning of Kavanaugh?
Seriously? They had months to prepare this considering that this was an open secret, and the best they came out with was this.
Yup. And it was before the rape accusations. She is quite good at it considering her past job.
I guess in hindsight it was inevitable, but having Bernie leading in the primaries at one point only to get a Biden/Harris ticket is discouraging. Kamala could get 8 years in the Oval Office after this term as well.
Think of it this way - the speculation is an easy way to get some free, relatively controversial free attention to your candidacy. And no one can claim now he didn't really think hard of who would be best for this (though as you said.. To people who pay attention.. Which isn't many.. This probably isn't a surprise at all).
Pence will need "Mother" to be beside him if that debate happens. Cant be in the same room with another woman
In theory she could get 10.
Provides Biden with another clear contrast with Trump... “see, I can work with people who’ve openly criticized me...”
Whether or not she'll be a good VP (and VP candidate), Biden sort of screwed her by making her the token pick. Everyone knew he was likely to pick a woman (just like everyone knew Obama wasn't going to pick a black person and Clinton wasn't going to pick a woman), but saying he was going to pick a woman was a bad move.
She'll have to do more to prove herself now.

Surely if she could get 10, she could get 11? Or even nearly 12, I guess.
I could be wrong but I think if a VPOTUS assumes office with over 2 years of a term remaining they’re limited to one more term so 10 is the maximum.
As I say, I could be wrong.
Really? I had no idea.
No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

No idea how I knew that, must have heard it in a tv show or something.
Trump has been working with the entire republican party to be fair.
Who have worn out the knees on their pant legs...
Never seen it!
