What? Biden has been vice president for eight years, and senator for many more. I think he is more qualified than Beto any day. Whether Democrats think that is another story...

I don't think many Dems will be happy with an all-white male ticket. Beto and Harris is a stronger ticket.

We need youth and excitement. Sorry not sorry.

One New Democrat picking another New Democrat as his running mate. No surprise.

I really like it!
We need someone with a well known, nationally recognized name like Biden to win over trump in 2020. I bet Obama will also help massively (more so, and very actively, if it's Biden).
I have a hunch that Biden may only want to run for one-term (4 years), so then Beto would be "in training" and gain massive recognition in the meantime, for his own run in 2024.
Perfect.

Biden will take an experienced Veep, an experienced Congressman or Senator

Beto is an experienced Congressman.
He served from 2013 through the end of this term (6 years).
That's pretty-good federal experience.

PS: Who do you have in mind, when you say "experienced Veep?" Gore?

I don't see Democrats going for a ticket with two white guys barring exceptional circumstances (IE- a popular Republican Governor switching parties, a Veep becoming a national hero.) It might be different if two white guys have a very close primary.

It also wouldn't be in Beto's interests to agree to a deal that would tie him to a guy in his mid-70s. If he wants to be on the national ticket, the way to do it is to run for President.

There may be a strategy for Biden here in announcing he'll have a running mate before the first votes of the primary. It'll encourage the rising stars of the party to spend an year proving they can be effective campaign surrogates for him.

Biden has said a couple times in the past that there are many qualified female VP picks, but now he got a bit more specific.

You never know, a NH pick could come in handy. The state wasn't supposed to be close in 2016 and Trump almost won.

Amy Klobuchar, Tammy Duckworth, and Maria Cantwell would be far better possible VP among female Senators

My first choice for his running mate would California Representative Nanette Barragan. She's progressive, but not too far left either, latina and would be 44 years young on election day. I've seen her in some interviews and was impressed.

Stacey Abrams better runs for governor again in 2022, if Joe Biden wants a black woman, I think Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms is a solid pick. Not the classic vice presidential candidate, but she could bring in new perspectives. My opinion of Kamala Harris has dropped, I'm not sure she would be the best choice for him.

Gretchen Whitmer would be an excellent pick as well, even though she's just in her first term as governor.

I'd like Mayor Pete, too, but he's better for a cabinet appointment. Sally Yates should be appointed Secretary of Homeland Security. Would also make a good attorney general, but I prefer Andrew Cuomo or Doug Jones, respectively. Please not Hassan or Shaheen.

Joey B: I'm not going to name names.

Joey B: Here's a list of names.

I like... can't come up with any more constructive jokes than just showing what bonkers things he's doing.
