There was a great post here the other day regarding the "total alignment" that Klobuchar brings to a ticket with Biden.

Everything is is just band-aid nonsense toward ideological contrast or making sure it's not two whites or two males on the ticket.

When there's a forced pairing it is blatantly obvious and ineffective. In particular I have no idea how anyone could want Stacey Abrams anywhere near that vice presidential spot. She adds nothing but potentially subtracts all over the place. Abrams lost among Trump voters 96-2. That is surreal. Nothing is 96-2. I've been doing this since 1992. It's virtually impossible to find a 96-2 in such a huge block but Stacey Abrams accomplished it. We are trying to persuade soft Trump voters, the ones who switched from Obama to Trump, not give them an easy excuse to remain with him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
