There is a good reason why former Vice President Joe Biden’s looming selection of a running mate has become so freighted with emotion and expectation, and it is not just that the Democratic presidential nominee is not, shall we say, entirely and always there.
The anticipation is heightened because this will be Mr. Biden’s first personnel selection for an administration that is likely to be marked by a difficult and durable civil war over its ideological preferences.
For most Americans, this vice presidential selection is more important than usual because they understand and even sometimes have witnessed that Mr. Biden appears to be in the midst of an unfortunate cognitive decline.

For all the carrying on I think Biden's VP pick is delayed because nobody wants to be second fiddle to this demented idiot. Talk about political suicide ?
His VP pick won't matter a wink when he loses. The Bernies and the Mattress Backs are fighting it out to see who's on TOP of the ticket. The election may turn out to be between Trump and my cat.

He's going to lose, so why does it matter who he is assigned as VP.

Dims and msm, there is a much better way to address the issue. The landslide election of President Trump/Pence.
Interesting that McKenna refers to today's civil disobedience as a "durable civil war" even though there is only one party currently waging the conflict. But, I agree that a "durable civil war" will rage on regardless of who wins. And no one is about to have their guns and ammunition confiscated. The prospect of a revolution here and world conflict is real IMO. It would be a bad idea to reside in an urban area in the near future.
McKenna also hints that Bite Me's election is a foregone conclusion. Not hardly McKenna. I really don't think Americans are gullible enough to buy the dim's and msm's evil ways.

Does anyone remember that Tim Kaine was Hillary's choice? Paul Ryan was Romney's, Sarah Palin was McCain's? Did anyone really care?
Biden has NO chance to win even when they cheat like hell which is so apparent to anyone.

#5, Yes, I remembered Sarah Palin ran for VP and I did care. Couldn't quite remember who her running mate for President was though. Thanks.

Clearly, a Biden victory will quickly be followed by the process to have him declared unfit mentally to serve, and the VP will then take office. If that VP is Hillary Clinton, do not be at all surprised.

Plugs has a real problem--Bass is known Commie- a Castro supporter-Plugs can fuggetabout Florida if he picks her. Harris is probably ineligible (not unlike Obozo) to be VP as not being a natural born citIzen-and Rice is a criminal as we will soon enough find out. At minimum we already KNOW she is a TOTAL LIAR. A real quandary for Biden. GOOD.

My prediction if Biden were to win the election, which is looking less likely by the day...
A month or so after his inauguration, we will be told that Biden suffered a fatal aneurysm (he has already had two) and died peacefully in his sleep. What we won’t be told is that his demise was assisted by a pillow on his face a la Antonio Scalia.

It’s the height of cynicism and corruption to have continued to prop Biden up knowing he has a dementia that will only grow worse and worse. I don’t know what they can legally do since he won the nomination but there is a first time for everything so they needed to be honest. Instead they have lied to the nation, by pretending and trying to hide him, and they gladly do it because they are completely corrupt. They think they can win and they will cheat to make sure. Then we are done for with the communist VP taking his place.

Clarification - they have continued with Biden *because* they see the opportunity to put in a real puppet - either Biden or the communist VP.

Anybody chosen by Biden or Biden's handlers will either make him lose by a large margin or lose by a landslide. Just pick the loser and get it over with.

If nothing else, to demonstrate to Americans who haven't been paying attention how imbecilic, corrupt, obnoxious and potty-mouth all of those AA-propelled women candidates are.

Since Trump is going to win by a landslide, who cares who Biden or more accurately Biden's handlers pick as VP. Also, if mail in voting is allowed, the results of the election may not take place for months. In the meantime while waiting for the results, and the demosluts to create chaos, the Constitution calls for the Speaker of the House to take over as President until the results of the election is determined. This means Nancy Piglosi becomes President, and the amount of damage to the country she could do while in that position is mind numbing. This reason more than any other is why mail in voting should not be allowed. The results of a Presidential election cannot take weeks or months to be decided.

Simple answer: because whoever is the VP pick will run the show, and probably run the NEXT show as well....Biden certainly isn't capable, and now "they" are trying to convince him not to debate. (It is also possible that "they" will run whoever is picked from behind the scenes.....which is why Biden says he will be the most Progressive President in history.)

He can't find anyone who is willing to lash themselves to the binnacle of the Titanic along side him, knowing that the entire side of the ship was sliced open by the iceberg.....Trump.
Who is his VP pic will be of NO historic significance.

Dan Bongino is saying that his sources say Biden's mental health is declining rapidly. That could be why the delay in his VP selection.

chris Wallace did everything he could to rehabilitate Large Mouth Bass, and her communistic instincts. and he let Tammy Duckworth duckwalk off topic to call for gun control. she even spouted Biden's stupid slogan, as did Marxist Bass.

Biden isn't picking anyone. He will do as he is told.

This is a media-driven non-story hyping an Obama-like non-person to mythic status. I've seen this movie, it stinks.
