Why didn’t Biden select Susan Rice as his running mate?

If Susan was in Kamala’s spot today, they would’ve been in a much better position with a solid backup.

Just because she had no experience in elected office doesn’t mean she’s not competent to do the job

It’s a strategic error on democrats’ side to not choose someone articulate. Kamala is probably smart but cannot express herself well under pressure.

Rice is a career diplomat who has no interest in being a politician and running for elected office. Which is a perfectly valid preference to have.

Susan Rice likes to fly under the radar.

How about Susan and Condi?

When Joe and Kamala get going, they sound like twin babies who invented their own language.

They are a universe above Trump and his fucked up crew.

Susan Rice had the stench of Benghazi all over her.

American men voted for Melania in 2016. Why not Stormy?

Because Harris’s selection was made by James Clybourne in exchange for putting the South Carolina machine behind his candidacy.

Clybourne assumed she would be developed as a future President instead of becoming Joe’s pill lady.

Oh, look, another Biden doomscrolling thread 🙄.

Better question: why didn’t Biden set Harris up to be a stronger successor? He marginalized her and gave her can’t-win assignments like the Mexican border.

Answer: Denial and ego.

R16 because the West Wing wasn't big enough for the two of us.

Troll shit.

R17–when a political party divorces itself from truth and amplifies any lie that suits its purposes, the very fact that people like Trump, MTG, Lauren Boebert, Jim Jordan and Tucker Carlson are amplifying a story is enough to discredit it.

R20 oh

the irony

the terrible terrible irony

by Anonymousreply 21July 5, 2024 1:35 PM

Because she was very involved in the fake Russia story and she was directly involved in Hilary deleting 33k emails.

by Anonymousreply 22July 5, 2024 1:41 PM

R20 ahhahahah I hope you’re being ironic for laughs and you’re not really serious.

by Anonymousreply 23July 5, 2024 1:43 PM

What if Biden didn’t run in 2020? Trump would be President now.

by Anonymousreply 24July 5, 2024 2:01 PM

R24 that may have been a better situation than becoming President now with his blank check powers
