Anticipation has been growing for weeks that Joe Biden will make history by choosing the first Black woman as a running mate on a major party’s presidential ticket. But after news broke over the weekend that Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a white woman, had flown to meet with Biden to discuss the vice presidency, frustration and disappointment boiled over among Black female Democrats — including some in her own state. (Snip) “There are a lot of Black people mad at her [Whitmer] in this state,” Rollins told POLITICO, citing her record on Flint’s lead water crisis and education policy, particularly

Let's hope he steps in it badly enough to lose some of the black vote.

woo woo. Biden better be shakin' in his boots after this threat from Whitmer, the humorless, Stalinist, totalitarian ideologue. What she deserves is the middle finger.

The candidates mentioned would lose him more votes than he would gain.

I don’t know where they came up with a 60% approval for Whitmer. I don’t know anyone who can stand the sight of her, left or right. So sad for her that she’s being passed over for an affirmative action hire.

Biden isn't picking anyone, he will be told "who he picked"......and will say, "C'mon, man, I remember that!"

For the Federal Employee Position of Vice President of the United States:
Joe Biden; “I commit that I will, in fact, appoint a, pick a woman to be vice president”
VII, Civil Rights Act of 1964; "Protection for job applicants and employees from discrimination based on race, color, sex..."
"Comon man, a black man need not apply. Ain't gonna happen bro. You want the Corn Pop treatment? I'll get my 6' of chain." - This idiot will not be our next President.

No racism in this is there. Maybe he can nominate a black transvestite to check off 2 buckets on the pc corrections list.

Dementia Joe can always say, it wasn’t me, I was told who I picked. He’s been on a roll lately for crapping in his mess kit.

It would be the first affirmative action VP. Democrats are so eat up with both race and sex that it affects their judgement. There are no suitable black women on the radar. White women either, for that matter. Joe is stuck.

Asking for a friend: If Obama were to transition as a women could he be elected again? /s
I hang my head in shame for what our country has become. But then I realize that the whole world is even more insane. During my years in service we stood as one against communism. To be a communist is to be Godless. God was the glue that held this country together. The Constitution was a wonderful creation but without God it is just words on paper. God is good and truth. Communism is evil. They will ultimately destroy themselves, unfortunately not before much of the world is rubble. Eisenhower was right when he warned us of the military/industrial complex. It has been a major player in all of this. We could wish for a prophet to warn us to turn back to God before it is too late. But He did but the world killed them. But we have His words. Everyday of my service when I climbed into that plane I thought come what may, I have the backing of my friends, family and the American people and that I was doing something that matter. That in some small way I was giving back something for the privilege of being a citizen in this country. I was doing my duty.
When I look around and see the insanity and/or corruption of those we elected or that are trying to be elected, it is staggering. I agree with what many have posted here, thank God for President Trump and KAG.

In a party where everyone is a victim, the victims are fighting for "chief victim" status.

Ironically most of the comments from the article saying "we'll vote for Joe regardless of who he picks" were coming from black commenters.

Cat fight!
I love it when demonrats eat their own. There is not a single demonrat in the entire country who is suitable for any position in government.

So Gretchmilda is not too popular in the black community. Why does Joe keep sniffing her resume? I think he would pick the Wicked Witch of the North is he were allowed to make the decision.
