WASHINGTON — Sen. Amy Klobuchar won’t be former Vice President Joe Biden’s running mate.The Minnesota senator took her name off the list of possible running mates Thursday, saying "this is a moment to put a woman of color" on the Democratic ticket."America must seize on the moment and I truly believe — as I actually told the VP last night when I called him — that I think this is a moment to put a woman of color on that ticket," she told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell in an exclusive interview Thursday night. "And there are so many incredible, qualified women.

Being from Minnesota meant she had no other choice but to bend her knee.

This is not somebody who believes Biden has a chance to president. If she did she would not have done this. What woman of color would be better than Amy K?

Every thing for the Dims can be interpreted as the race card. Without using the race card they are lost. Hence, in Biden's opening campaign speech he mentioned Trump's Charlottesville comment. Ugly. Race card is their only card now that they've sold out to the ultra left.

Being from ground zero for the rioting, arson, looting and killing may have something to do with it.

This obsession with skin color would embarrass a cattle rancher or a mink breeder.
It's animalistic. Simplistic. Primitive. Illiterate. Pagan.
There are 40 million black people in the US. That isn't a 'community' - it's a full-on population larger than most of the nations in the world. And the left conflates 'community' with 'commune' anyway.
'All blacks think and vote alike' is a stereotype and a wish by Democrats.
If there are so many incredible, qualified women then where are they? We've had the biggest audition stage with the brightest lights this month as black politicians watch 'their' people riot, loot, burn, assault and vandalize. The politicians have made excuses, blamed others and watched their police departments' morale sink underwater thanks to the politicians' incompetence and race-baiting. They have all failed miserably.
Klobes thinks she's being clever by assuming it will be a female. Tokenism x 2.

And now a person understands why we have the problems we do. I thought we had application processes for positions so that anyone can apply without discrimination? Again, Democrat policies that are failing. . .

How noble of her lily white self. Now, resign from your senate seat and give that to a woman of color. Give a person of color your home and all your possessions. Renounce your white family; they're as guilty as you are. You know what's next.

Actually Biden's choices have really opened up after SCOTUS just affirmed that anybody can be a woman simply by declaration. I'm a little confused that they haven't yet affirmed that you can be any race you declare as well.

The Democrat party has had the black vote and to a lesser degree the vote of women in its pocket for decades. Traditionally the Veep pick is used to secure a less than guaranteed demographic. So what's up with this drumbeat of a must-have black woman on the ticket? Could it be that these two factions aren't as secure as in the past? Ignoring the obvious push polling going on in the open with Biden a shoo-in I wonder if Dem internal polling is telling a different story.

How noble. Because she was a prosecutor and isn't Black she knows she has no chance, so she is angling for a cabinet position. Pardon my raging cynicism.

So discrimination based on race and gender is now legal in hiring and promoting? Or are Dems simply assuming that Chief Justice Roberts and possibly Gorsuch will once again join the 4 lefties on the Court if the hiring is done by Democrats?

Whatever reason Klobuchar had for pulling out this ain’t it. Egotistical arrogant politicians do not step aside to pave the way for someone they think is more deserving.

I think Maxine Waters would be the perfect choice. You can't get any woker than that. And she'll get everyone bowing and washing her feet like crazy. Literally. Might even cure Joe's bad habit of sniffing hair too.

After it came out that she was the district attorney who refused to prosecute Derek Chauvin for previous criminal accusations, she realizes that she has no chance of being selected anyway. So her virtue signaling on this issue is just making a virtue of necessity.

Guessing she knows she doesn't have a chance. Maybe the Biden Bunch already told her she's not in the running which means they might be close to announcing. It doesn't really matter who they pick. Its fairly obvious the democrats intend to manipulate people through their emotions (fear, anger, and hatred - anything negative) and rely on voter fraud to win. Issues be damn.

A woman of color?
That’s racist!
All women have color!
Say what you mean!
A woman who is American of African lineage.
Not Hispanic..Not Asian..Not Italian..
Not Irish....Not German...Not Cuban...
Only a woman who was born negro or black or colored black or something dark...yeah, that’s the ticket, a dark colored woman!
No more light skinned VP candidates
Democrats go by skin color!!
Democrats are filthy racist clowns!

Former Hennepin Co. Atty. Klobuchar paid no attention to the charges in the past to the policeman who killed George Floyd. She is not interested in this fact being tossed around during her VP candidacy.

She's white and that ain't right. Out you go, girl. Sorry, but you got discriminated against because you are a white chick. A double play on you. You left because you know you ain't got a chance. One of getting the nomination and two getting your rear end kicked with Sniffer Joe in the election.

She checked and found that she is not of Joseph Biden’s favored flavor of vice-presidential candidate in accordance with leftist and liberal Democrat identity politics, in this case a very liberal Black female, so why stay in line and be almost certainly be rejected, when all she had to do is hold a news conference and bow out with minimum political damage.
Chances are Barack Obama will make the vice-presidential pick for Biden and that pick will be a Black female who was, is, and will be close to Obama and his crew as they swing back to the old Obama domestic and foreign policies. All they will have to do is defeat President Trump in the general election first. Common sense will tell you that the USA changing it’s foreign policy every four years Is not good for America, especially when trying to deal with countries that have set long term foreign policies that are designed to benefit those countries in the end.

When I was in Sunday School, everyone was "of color". "Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world".
