uggggg   Get read for President DeSantis I guess, I don't know if we're ready for <looks it up> an Italian president.  Is there no way Polis can win a Dem primary?

I'm ready for JB. The only way to stop a bad guy with a billion dollars is a good guy with a billion dollars.

The spirit of Michael Bloomberg's campaign, Howard Schultz's "campaign"...

Why should women vote for De Santis, a Republican? Women just lost a freedom they enjoyed for 50 years thanks to them. Are we are supposed to vote for the party who did this? Are you crazy?

It's really time for a woman president and Kamala is already the closest person to the position than anyone. Let's see what she's got. Men, get out of the way, you've had the helm long enough.

Hahahaha the left is so f#cked this decade. Jesus.

     You mean #I'mWithHer 2.0 doesn't sell you on Harris being a good candidate?

Democrat Brain:

When, after nominating an unpopular white woman for President and somehow losing to a demented reality TV star, you nominate an increasingly unpopular (and very old) white man for President and an even more unpopular black woman for Vice President, only winning because of the horror-comical incompetence of the incumbent Republican President (ie. the demented reality TV star) in response to a global crisis, with no downballot coattails and now a 6-3 conservative Supreme Court - all while continuing to bleed working class voters of all backgrounds n the name of chasing the votes of suburban "respectable" Republicans.

I often forget that she is the Vice President.

I'm no KHiver, but most Vice Presidents are forgettable, that is the point of the Vice Presidency.

Biden, Nixon, Gore, Bush Sr., Cheney, Mondale, Humphrey, LBJ, Agnew...not forgettable at all.

Cheney is an exception and maybe a few others but most of those would be forgotten by the public while they were Vice President.

Not true at all.

Beginning in 1960 with Richard Nixon, the Vice Presidency began to be seen as the main vehicle to achieve the Presidency.  Agnew was the favorite in 1976 until his scandals were exposed.  Rockefeller was forced out of the VP slot because he WAS important, not because he wasn't, and because Rockefeller as VP was seen as one who, had he lived and remained VP, would have had the power to preempt Reagan being nominated in 1980.  Mondale was an important figure as the bridge between Carter and the Democratic Left, and was the natural choice in 1984.  Even Quayle cut a major profile; he symbolized the leader of the conservatives in the Bush Administration, he chaired Bush 41's "Competitiveness Council" and the real reason his Presidential bid fell flat was Bush 41's pushing his own son for the job. 
'

And even before that:

Quote
Despite their personal differences, Truman and Barkley agreed on most issues.[151] Because of Barkley's legislative experience, Truman insisted his vice president attend cabinet meetings.[41] Barkley chaired the Senate Democratic Policy Committee and attended Truman's weekly legislative conferences.[156] When Congress created the National Security Council, it included the vice president as a member.[157] Barkley acted as the administration's primary spokesperson, making 40 major speeches in his first eight months in office.[157] Truman commissioned the United States Army Institute of Heraldry to create a seal and flag for the vice president, advocated raising his salary, and increased his expense budget.[41][158]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alben_W._Barkley#Vice_presidency_(1949%E2%80%931953)

Truman would naturally have been sensitive to the issue of a Vice President being granted no influence and left out of the loop on major issues.
