Yeah I’m not sure ANYCHAWK is seeing the importance of having a VP with the current age of the president. I would say this election if he runs is the most important VP choice since Truman maybe?
Nikki Haley announces she is running for President
- Thread starter BrunoMars420
- Start date
Hmmm was the same guy 77 just a few years ago and people asking and stating the exact same thing and then he picked a person who had little to no impact on his votes?
I can literally go find the exact same posts from 2020. It had little to no impact.
People do not care about a VP. Even with an older president because they aren't making a choice for something that might or might not happen. They vote for party first, then a candidate then "Local" issues. The VP rarely comes up as a deciding factor.
In this case, Joe, life expentency is another 8 years. And that is just the average. Most of the ones who bring that down are already sick.
The whole Kamala Harris thing is diven by people who don't like her for political or race or whatever reasons. Its why she got few primary votes. But, she doesn't have much of an imapct. Just like any other VP even with a president of Biden's age.
Ok, whatever.
Will it turn the election? Doubtful. Is it a factor? Sure.
I think there’s a big difference between age 77 and 86.
I’m sure some people were saying this but I think haveing the right candidate was the biggest thing to take down trump. This is a different election with a different set of circumstances

Are you suggesting the RNC is intentionally trying to tank the 2024 presidential election?
Yeah I don’t believe that at all haha. No matter who the nominee is the right will fall in line like the progressives did with Biden
A few thoughts:
1. VP picks can be consequential. (e.g. Sarah Palin). Maybe not voting FOR the VP candidate but arguably some number of voters changed their vote because it.
2. Biden’s VP pick if running against Trump - probably not that consequential because overriding concern is keeping Cheeto Mussolini out of office.
3. Biden’s VP pick if running against anyone other than Trump - Very consequential (IMO) because now the overriding concern is comparing his VP to the GQP’s presidential nominee.

....and Cheney and Kinzinger don't have jobs anymore. It is what it is...
I guess he could just toss her but I think there'd be some unwanted blowback.
As a progressive, Biden and Kamela were two of my least favorite picks of all the candidates from the primary. While Republicans keep pushing further right with their ideologies, dems seemed content to do what they've done for 30 years. Maintain the status quo. For me, both are too centrist. When Kamala was announced as the VP a lot of people were pissed. It seemed that Democrats were more interested in getting the support of centrist republicans (who would gladly obstruct them at every turn) than the support of progressives in their own party.
Kamela was simply a pick to keep the status quo to go along with "Nothing will fundamentally change" Biden. Not a great picture to paint when so many are suffering and struggling.
While I've been somewhat pleasantly surprised by some things that Dark Brandon has done and it's more than I expected, he's got a lot more to do for me to be content. Meanwhile Kamela has been almost completely absent.
I haven't seen or heard anything about her in months - maybe that's the media's fault for not sharing or my own for not caring.

Sure but she (and the rest of the R candidates) doesn’t have 30% of the voting public who would literally sacrifice their first born to please their leader.
R's want women to cum 2nd. That's why she'll be a vp at best.
R's audition their women based on looks and whether they can do what they're told. Kimmy, Norem are just an extension of the Fox news women. Good looking, can form a sentence, and will do what they are told to do. All kimmy's idea's come from ALEC.
Find me a highly intelligent ugly republican woman in the past 15-20 years. They are rare.

Republican women are ugly on the inside.
The NYT did a piece on here a week or so ago and I’ll post an article highlighting it because you have to pay to read it.
The Democrats’ Kamala Harris Problem
Few better ways exist to gauge the progressive zeitgeist than perusing the most popular comments on widely read articles in the New York Times. A new piece on Kamala Harris, for instance, reveals that many of the Times’s most ardent readers are no longer fans of the vice president. A trio of...

“A trio of Times reporters spoke to dozens of Democrats and concluded the obvious: Harris has become a problem for the party. Influential Democrats don’t want Biden to retire because they know Harris can’t win in 2024. But he can’t dump her from the reelection campaign, for fear of infuriating what the Times calls “key Democratic constituencies.” Nevertheless, keeping Harris as vice president may be even more risky for an 82-year-old candidate than it was for, say, a 68-year-old George H. W. Bush to keep Dan Quayle on the ticket when he ran for re-election in 1992.”
This basically sums it up. She is polling lower than Biden and was never that popular of a pick or candidate. It was well documented that once her history of being the AG of California was brought up during the primaries people told her to kick rocks. She came off as super unlikeable once the primaries started.
Yes. Having some integrity and doing the right thing is a disqualifying characteristic in today's shitbag GQP. Really sad state of affairs.
About what I expected, echoes my thoughts since the primaries as well. Thanks.The NYT did a piece on here a week or so ago and I’ll post an article highlighting it because you have to pay to read it.

I agree
That kind of mental competency?
It was so damn funny how much Trump bragged about that whole thing. Like a little kindergartener bragging to his parents that he passed a color identification test at school.
A real profile in courage here. King Orange is going to demolish her
So this is the new angle? Announce a run, not attack your opponent, and then what? Hope you get a VP slot? Jesus, Republicans suck.
You're really reaching to justify the bullshit.
What did he say that was false? Why did she pass on a question about how she’d distinguish herself from Trump?
What will she say in the primary debates?
I don't see how she is viable. Nothing she is saying is unique among Republicans. To the opposite, her platform is so generic it's boring. So what lane can she possibly carve out? How does she stand out when she is so intent on blending in?
I think the RNC is limiting this tbh. This is my theory so take it for what it’s worth but I think these candidates will all try to not engage trump. The best thing for them to do is to not get in a pissing match with Trump. Just Keep him out of the news and talk about policies and look as sane as possible.
I can see why they would be doing this at this current stage of the election cycle. Wait until there is more candidates and closer to the debates then go on the attack. Robby D and Nimmy Haley are taking passive aggressive shots at him right now.
Running against Donald Trump...better hope he's the opponent again or his age and VP will be issues like it or not.
