So who of our options is a great debater?

Warren is good
Amy did well
Harris was strong

These are three that come to mind.

...and that Biden's team is already doing the vetting as we speak of the finalists. I bet it is Warren given that Biden just announced that he is adopting her college plan.

While I think Amy Klobuchar would be a possibility, she is sort of like a younger, female Biden given her effectiveness in passing legislation. That being said, Biden does not really need to add someone who knows how to navigate Congress.

If Warren endorses now, then Sanders fans will blame her for the upcoming primaries. It is sort of like Kamala Harris waiting to endorse Joe until Warren dropped out. If Warren endorses now, then he will claim he was backstabbed by a progressive. Plus, looking at the polls, he does not need Warren's endorsement at this moment given the States at issue.

However, if Biden has a good Tuesday, I think Warren may endorse to promote unity. I think there will be an effort to get Bernie to drop out first, but if he does not then we need to move forward.

Sen. Warren is the best choice!

She'll bring her voters and Sanders voters as well.

It is absolutely a winning ticket and Sen. Warren has the skills we need!

BIDEN/WARREN 2020 is THE TICKET that cannot be beat!!!
