CHICAGO — Tammy Duckworth is no longer an afterthought in the Democratic veepstakes. The Illinois senator and Purple Heart recipient has landed squarely in the conversation after a high-profile clash with Tucker Carlson last week and her advocacy against politicization of the military in the weeks prior. The attention hasn't escaped Biden's vetting team. It has stepped up information-gathering on Duckworth recently, scrutinizing her legislative record and talking to her colleagues, according to three sources familiar with the matter. A contingent of Duckworth-for-VP backers, including high-dollar donors and a politically active veterans group, has intensified efforts on her behalf in the
I can bet that Planet Abrams isn’t amused...

That should lock up the Thai vote. Blacks will be disappointed again... but if they don’t vote for Biden/Duckwad, day ain’t black

Hey,
Female, left leaning wacko, antiTrump. Crying for sympathy, using disability as a whipping stick.
Her qualifications are zippo

She adds nothing to the ticket: not black and from deep-blue Illinois. Down two points to either of the soul sistas from Georgia.

Liberals weren't moved by Bob Dole's and John McCain's valor and war injuries. They should get a clue: Patriots and people who admire the military are OUR voters, not theirs.
And we won't buy this woman, just like we laughed off John ("Reporting for Duty") Kerry. Because she's a stone leftwing loonie.

Other than a big mouth and high opinion of herself she brings zip, zero, nada to the ticket. Blacks are gonna be pissed, Bernie buds aren’t gonna be happy either.
She’s great..

Like Max Cleland before her, she's ridden the "disabled veteran" pony well beyond her level of competence. After a while, people get tired of the guilt trips, and toss the poseurs over the side. She's about due to be retired from the stage.

My money is still on the Biden-Bottoms ticket. Its just too perfect of a name combo. Rolls of the tongue, so to speak. Much better than Biden-Duckworth. Long names don't fit the marquee.

How can this be. She was born in Bang Cock, Thailand. Anita Hill is still around. Mad Max would make a great ticket, Bite Me Waters. Rock Bottom from Atlanta is out. She has the WuHuFlu and is feuding with BLM and people who want their businesses to open.

"Bursts", yeah that's right, like a ripe pimple.
That said, she is mean enough to qualify.

she is the daughter of a Chinese woman who livved in Thailand, father an American who was probably a CIA operative. She never lived in the U.S. until she was 16, and even then, it was Hawaii, which is only marginally connected to american culture.
much like Kamala Sutra, the Canadian-Jamaican-Indian, Tammy is only tangentially connected to the American culture, although she puts on a good show., She campaigns in miniskirts, so that everyone will know she lost her legs.
Someone once wrote that 'patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel.'
Military service can be said to be the same.
It troubles me that this odd woman could be supported for a position that may place her in the presidency, soon. She is not ready for such a job, but then not one woman mentioned in the article is ready.

She reminds me of McPain - always using being maimed in the military to gain sympathy and influence then stabbing them in the back once in office.

She is NOT a second-generation Natural Born Citizen with two citizen parents at the time of her birth. Yes,Obama got away with that but when he was a U.S. senator, he knew he wasn't eligible for the presidency and unsuccessfully attempted to change the legal definition of Natural Born Citizen.
The U.S. Constitution does not come with a glossary. As such, you have look at the source material that was used to draft the document. There was only ONE source material that mentioned or defined the legal term, Natural Born Citizen, and that was the book, "Law of Nations." The Founding Fathers certainly didn't create the concept.
The Natural Born Citizen requirement was instituted in order to prevent divided allegiances. Additionally, anyone who was alive at the time of the signing of the Constitution was exempt because we were a young nation.

Barack Obama in cahoots with certain So-called Democrat Super Delegates will make the Democrat Vice-Presidential selection, not Biden, who will just get to present that person, if he can remember her name.

Unqualified. She was Rahm Emmanuel's hand-picked person to unseat Peter Roskam in the House. When that didn't work, she was handed a job by Blago (before he became persona non grata to the Democrats). The Democrats then re-drew the districts so Tammy could win, beating now-RINO Joe Walsh. And as luck would have it (Rahm's voodoo doll, maybe?) Republican Mark Kirk had a debilitating stroke. He ran for reelection anyway (sadly, he was the best choice in Illinois) and Tammy won. Her whole political career is just being a propped up Democrat candidate who will case a reliable Democrat vote.

Duckface is the enemedia's flavor of the moment, but as it has been duly noted, being half Chinese and half Caucasian, she fails to meet the left's qualification for the veep slot.

Will Biden introduce her as his sister/wife/'the thing' and then ask her to 'stand up for everyone to see' like he did for wheelchair-bound Chuck Graham?

Being awarded the Purple Heart just means you were injured in a war. It holds no particular distinction of valor. Being Democrat does however, in my opinion, hold the distinction of being less than brilliant... likely against Capitalism, personal freedom, and opportunity.

I hated to go to the article on Politico but I did anyway and there she was the flavor of the day, week maybe month but she's just the wrong color/race. Biden-Duckworth just doesn't have a ring to it. She looks more like a Duckbutt though.

What are her qualifications to be 'a heartbeat (or brainwave) away'? Her military service is admirable, but voters have cast-aside wounded war veterans time after time.
