With Joe Biden expected to formally announce his vice presidential pick this week, I'm breaking format to bring you the five women most likely to be his choice. These picks are based on conversations with knowledgeable sources, reporting and just some educated guesswork. Enjoy!
  1. It’s like fucking fantasy football to these assholes.
  2. How the fuck is Whitmer in the top 3?

    I'm starting to think that delaying the VP pick is actually a genius strategy from biden's camp to keep his name in the news cycle without him having to do or say anything

      Yeah 100%. Is it just me or has this VP shit been more in the news after Trump returned to doing daily press briefings?

    How the fuck is Whitmer in the top 3?

    For cynical Democratic operatives outside the state of Michigan, she checks a lot of boxes:

    1. Woman
    2. High-level political office holder
    3. From a Midwestern swing state
    4. Relatively short political history means relatively little baggage
    5. Only fucked up coronavirus stuff a little bit
    6. Centrist

    you know that biden is posturing as the 'progressive' of the pair so he can have a right wing ghoul as his vp

      Posturing is all that it is. They're just going to do the Obama/Biden dance in reverse. The VP won't be any more ghoulish than Biden's cabinet is already anticipated to be.

      They're going to reenact the Reagan Administration - privatize everything that's not nailed down, clean up after Trump so nobody is held accountable for the crimes he committed while in office, then declare bankruptcy on the nation's pension and health care system because gosh darnit where did all the money go?

        There is nothing sadder than watching libs post memes of Trump being led away in handcuffs. I'm not sure what in the history of this country suggests that powerful people ever face consequences for their actions.

    Can’t wait to have Kopmala as my president in two years when Biden inevitably dies
