Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Wednesday that he would consider former 2020 contenders Beto O’Rourke and Julián Castro as running mates or members of his Cabinet should he get the party’s nomination.
“I would consider either or both of them. I’ve spoken to each of them,” Biden told the Dallas Morning News. “My plea to both of them is that they stay engaged. They are talented, talented people.”
O’Rourke made headlines during the 2018 congressional elections when the former Texas congressman nearly ousted conservative Senator Ted Cruz in the deep-red state. He garnered early attention after launching his presidential bid but suspended his campaign in November

One more reason to seriously ignore Biden. I am wondering if the candidates lips ever get chapped sucking up to every Tom, Dick, and Harry diversity group?

Wait! What? You mean Ole Joe isn’t considering the Governor of Georgia, Stacey Abrams? Y’all know the one who lost but didn’t concede...

Good grief. One more nail in his coffin. No sense at all. I would have thought he would be considering Amy Klobuchar - not that she would make a good VP [no current Dem would qualify], but she seems to be the least idiotic on the surface.

Both of these candidates were epic failures in the nominating process but would attract millions of votes in the general because of their immense talent. Indeed

Hillary was heard to drunkenly mutter “Pick me, pick me” after polishing off her second box of cheap Chardonnay for the day.

Biden is attempting the Obama strategy by soliciting a running mate who is dumber than he is. He certainly chose well. Just when we thought that we had ditched the skateboarder, cowabunga, dudes, here he is!

I posted above, on the Klein article, before I read this.
Robert (not Beto) O'Rourke, has egomaniacal talent. Castro, like Tom Steyer and Miss Corey Booker, is a zero candidate.

You can't make this stuff up. I am always amazed that anyone would vote for any of thee democrats. They espouse dogma that should disqualify them for even running for office because most of it is unconstitutional. Where do they thing the funds come from for all these social programs? It seems that this never concerns them and that that part is just out there will take care of itself on its own accord. This is why they are half-wits.

OMG! Castro because he is Hispanic and Beto because he is so dumb that he would make Biden look smart!

It should be increasingly clear to all that Joe Biden is suffering from dementia. How can anyone choose to entrust the power of the American Presidency to someone of such diminished mental capacity?

Crazy Old Joe has already promised to put a minority or woman on his ticket if he gets the nomination. I guess El Beto could appear in blackface, or Hoolian could wear a skirt.

Stop lying Joe. Nothing worse than a panderer that doesn't keep his promises.
Its going to be Bloomers. Money talks, and Bloomers wants to be President someday, and the VP spot gets him one step closer.

Come on man ! For a stage act Joe Biden can do push ups while Beto rides his skateboard onto the stage and does drop ins and hand stands on a half pipe. Joe and Beto 2020 I can see it now.

Joe get someone your same age, and a woman with entitlement mentality and a huge ego. Someone as crooked and a big liar like you. Someone like Hillary would be the dream team to get it done and make it happen. Unlock the possibilities Joe.

Hey Joe what happened to the Governor of Georgia (in name only) I thought she was on your list? She's black, clean, articulate, bright she's a storybook!

So, the key word here is "faux"; it describes virtually all of the dim candidates.

Maxine Waters or Mz. Jackson Lee might serve best. The 'pool' of dumber than Joe VP candidates is both small and unspeakably shallow.

Both? I suggest that everyone in the clown car should run as a team but Trump would still be twice as smart as them.

The thought of either of those two being a heartbeat away from the presidency should guarantee Trump a landslide should Biden get the nomination.

In the unlikely event that Joe Biden is handed the Democrat nomination he is going to have to pick as his Vice-Presidential nominee whoever Barack Obama as the actual leader of the Democrat Party, and other top Democrats select for Biden. That pick is bound to be an African-American politician because the Democrat ticket will need a huge Black vote to defeat President Trump, and to do that will need Obama’s support, especially with current polls showing that about one third of prospective African-American voters are tending towards voting for Trump, because of the great US economy that has provided everyone who wants to work with a job no matter their race or ethnicity, losing that much of the Black vote would be a disaster for the Democrats, who those voter realize would put them back into the hope and change category until the Democrats again need their votes in future elections.
