Stacey Abrams has another distinction to add to her resume — she is among the most preposterous potential vice-presidential candidates ever.Her attempt to leverage a failed Georgia gubernatorial bid into a spot on the Democratic ticket is so brazenly absurd that it’s hard to think of precedents.
But the 46-year-old African-American activist isn’t one to be constrained by standard political practice — or reality. She refused to concede her narrow but clear 2018 gubernatorial loss, instead alleging she’d been undone by a massive voter-suppression scheme. As she put it at a recent event, “malfeasance and incompetence and my opponent, who was a cartoon villain,

The Dims presidential nominee is also preposterous, so there's a certain amount consistency.

Please let it be Stacey Abrams. Unfortunately, however, I don’t think he is that stupid.

I can't bear to look at her again. I don't mean to be vulgar, but that woman has SFB. It would be in her best interest to shut up. I hear gyms are open now.

I can't believe that Tucker devoted a whole segment to her and the ridiculous notion that she is VP material, and never mentioned that she is "self taught" on foreign policy issues and that she writes romance novels. She sounds just perfect. She and Joe would make a super team to really get this economy back up and running. (Check out Selena Montgomery on Amazon if you're a fan of romance novels)

In the crazy world we live in anything is possible. The dims might win/steal the election. In that case whatever is Quid Pro Joe's VEEP would be POTUS within months. At least the pompous pachyderm is so arrogant doubt she could get anything done. But doubt she would be picked by Bird Brain Bidet. There are plenty of skeletons in her closet. First, she is unmarried. Americans like officials with normal personal lives. Second, she write porn novels on the side. Third, she was a float is the LSMFT parade in Atlanta, Fourth, even thought she has made plenty of money as an ambulance chaser she has maxed her credit cards and failed to pay her taxes. Fifth, who wants to see a morbidly obese manatee for years.

Talk about racism. Electing her would certainly be racism - against this country.

Correct, #2. Broken down, preposterous means prehistoric posterior, in other words, body of dinosaur.
Biden himself would be the worst VP to date so to find somebody younger, dumber and not a threat via Arkancide, Stacey wins.

Biden should select Abrams. Then he would no longer be the most preposterous VP pick ever.
Considering the Democrats have recently nominated Kaine, Algore, Breck Girl Edwards, Mondale, Lord Bentsen, and Ferraro, that's just a massive load of preposterous precedent. Biden and Abrams are simply the lower reaches of that cesspool.

The Democrats best choice was a geriatric liberal stand-in with dementia. Now, because Biden let himself be manipulated into vowing to choose a female VP he is stuck with few viable choices and all with a whole lot of political baggage. Abrams would probably be his worse choice but who would be better?

I was going to suggest that Maxine Waters might be a more preposterous pick for VP running mate. But, after more study, I had to conclude it would be a close tie. Both Waters and Abrams show a marked hostility toward anybody that is not black. Both constantly play the race card to cover the fact that at best they are mediocre candidates. And, the DNC seems to be afraid of both of them,

Nobody sees, it's not the, look, Stacey is a brilliant woman of color but when Joe prayed to the thing, he was told via the internet connection in his rec room to pick the most brilliant woman of color, Carol Channing. Joe knows smart in a woman from his gig as a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. That, it's not even, and Trump killed millions of people with the corona virus and lost eighty five thousand jobs when Roosevelt did some things after World War 2. That's why Carol is the perfect fit for Joe. There's not even a chance for, he's made it clear that look, when the 600 million unemployed American women get the great paying jobs they deserve, Joe will get more black kids to stroke his tanned legs. Is that clear enough?

The governor’s race was not as close as the article states. Kemp won by almost 55,000 votes. That is a pretty clear margin. The article is right in that Abrams is wholly unqualified to even think about a Vice President slot. That is the hubris of the entitled left, however. Nothing qualifies you more than an arrogant attitude and the proper skin color. None of the potential candidates for VP gives me pause. What keeps me up at night is voter fraud. You know the democrat party will use every trick in the book which is why we must turn out in massive numbers to vote for the President. Now more than ever, Trump 2020 and every “R” down ballot.

To the leftist and liberal Democrats it does not matter that Abrams would be a preposterous Vice-Presidential candidate, what counts to them is to put identity politics in play by nominating a Black woman! That’s it.

If there is currently any other semi-serious politician on our radar screens that is more arrogant than Kamala Harris, more delusional than Beto O'Rourke, more incompetent than "Mayor" Pete Bhudda-jug and more white-hating than Maxine Waters I can't think of one. Stacey is big enough to be all 4 at once.
And, yes, she is a skinny Obama, who is just like her, but he doesn't count as he'll never get elected to anything ever again as he's too busy counting his millions on Martha's Vineyard.
But it's all about holding the House now and trying to take the Senate ... I do believe the Dems have written off the White House.

I thought the bar for presidential and vice -presidential material was set pretty low for Obama and Biden, but Abrams may have put it in negative territory.

Doubt its going to be Stacey Abrams. They will look for a lefty that's a blank slate. Can't criticize a blank slate. Its going to be someone boring. Don't know who the VP choice will be, but it won't be Stacey Abrams.

#2, that's pretty good. The original (Latin) is even better: it breaks down (Anglicized) into "pre", as in "before in sequence", and "posterous", the root of which roughly translates as "that which goes behind". Shoving Stacy Abrams out front is as good an example of putting the @ss before "Lead from Behind" Biden asI can think of.

Advertising 101: name recognition sells your product. Like it or not, the woman has figured this out (aided and abetted by the media). Even Rich Lowry has fallen for the trap. The more we mention her name, the closer she will get to being the dem’s VP nominee. As usual, dem power brokers will opt for what makes them feel good no matter how illogical their choice may be. Couple that with Sleepy Joe boxing himself in with his patronizing, virtue-signaling VP promise, We can’t count this “victim” out just yet.

The democrat political spoils system leads nonentities to believe they are entitled to (well, fill in the blanks), in this case high political office. I wouldn't trust her to walk my dog. No, wait, I wouldn't trust her to water my lawn. No, really, I wouldn't trust her to do anything at all.

I agree, #30. Michelle Obama’s physical transformation after Obama was elected is evidence that outward appearance can be dramatically changed as well as how a person presents themselves to the public.
It’s what they stand for and how effective and committed they are at getting it done that determines my vote.
Ms. Abrams wouldn’t be on my political radar if she had all of the beauty and intelligence she lacks, because what she stands for and what she would do is much uglier than Stacey Abrams.

While living in Florida Keys, I learned about the nurse shark, which appears inoffensive, but actually they rank 4th in documented bites to humans Easy to assume a nurse shark is stupid because it moves so slowly. I knew Abrams reminded me of some wildlife.

I was so appalled by the ridiculous FOG MOMMA picture of her it took me a bit to recognize the source of the other silly poses. Google the Countess of Castiglione 1837 – 1899 mistress of Napoleon III and the first self-photograph fetishist. The "mirror" and "eye" shots are shall we say "inspired" by two of the most famous of the over 700 pictures she had taken of herself. She was an aristocrat, a beauty and a narcissist. Poor old Stacy just has a camera-toting friend who's seen the exhibit. It's a parody.

While she was here in GA she stopped in a store to ask "How do I get to 285" meaning the Interstate Hwy I 285. The clerk took one look at her and said "Diet and exercise".
