webfact Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Democratic White House contender Biden says he would pick a woman as vice president By Amanda Becker Democratic U.S. presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks during the 11th Democratic candidates debate of the 2020 U.S. presidential campaign, held in CNN's Washington studios without an audience because of the global coronavirus pandemic, in Washington, U.S., March 15, 2020. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden, who had hinted he might choose a woman as his vice presidential running mate if he is picked as the party's nominee, committed to doing so during his debate with rival Bernie Sanders on Sunday. "If I'm elected president, my Cabinet, my administration, will look like the country, and I commit that I will in fact appoint and pick a woman as vice president. There are a number of women who are qualified to be president tomorrow. I would pick a woman as my vice president," Biden said. There were originally a record-breaking six women vying for the Democratic nomination to take on Republican President Donald Trump in November - U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar, Kamala Harris and Kirsten Gillibrand, along with U.S. Representative Tulsi Gabbard and Marianne Williamson. Only Gabbard remains in the race, although she is polling below 5% nationally and was not eligible to participate in the debate. Sanders said that "in all likelihood," he would choose a woman as his running mate, but did not make as firm a commitment. "In all likelihood, I will. To me, it’s not just nominating a woman, it is making sure that we have a progressive woman, and there are progressive women out there. So my very strong tendency is to move in that direction," Sanders said. Two women were previously nominated by the major parties for U.S. vice president - - Democrat Geraldine Ferraro in 1984 and Republican Sarah Palin in 2008. Both their tickets were defeated. Democrat Hillary Clinton, the first woman nominated for president by a major party, lost to Trump in 2016.

Popular Post Sujo Posted March 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 16, 2020 I think picking a woman will get him in as pres. Debates wont matter so much as don has proven he is a compulsive liar. A bucket of water should dump on him with every lie, he would end up in an olympic pool. Dons only option is to make up stories on joe. 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so out of touch with the modern world. But, surely excluding all men for the post of VP just because they are men, IS sexism?? If Biden had said he only would pick a man for VP would that be cool and OK with modern American democrat voters? Looks like a big mess to me. 12 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of the ticket is a man, so not sure what you two are whining about. But I'm sure you would attack anyone Biden picked, whether man, woman, or trans. It goes to your desperation as you know Trump's days are numbered. 5 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with the choice no such much that Trump's days are numbered. Modern politics is about picking the person who will get you the vote numbers to get over the line. A wimmin would assist with taking the "pussy grabbing" vote off the Neanderthal. Hopefully enough to win the Senate at the least. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoreFarang Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 How about selecting the best qualified person for that job? Maybe someone who is competent and stays cool under pressure. If that someone is a woman, fine. And if not that is also fine. The best qualified person should get that job. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every issue by the horns? Really? The single most important issue for voters now (or at least before Trump's corona virus debacle) was health care".

He hasnt grabbed hilary and locked her up. He hasnt grabbed the money from mexico from the wall.

It is to laugh. Trump’s H1N1 Swine Flu Pandemic Spin On April 15, 2009, the first infection was identified in California, according to the CDC, and less than two weeks later, on April 26, 2009, the Obama administration declared a public health emergency. The same day — April 26 — the CDC began releasing antiviral drugs to treat the H1N1 flu, and two days later, the FDA approved a new CDC test for the disease, according to a CDC timeline on the pandemic. On April 30, 2009, two days after the public health emergency declaration, Obama formally asked Congress for $1.5 billion to fight the outbreak, and later asked for nearly $9 billion, according a September 2009 Congressional Research Service report. https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/trumps-h1n1-swine-flu-pandemic-spin/ 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What don't you get about that fact the the Trump administration actually turned down an offer of ready-to-go tests from the WHO? And to this day refuses to specify who was responsible for this refusal. 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
