If Joe Biden offers the vice presidential slot to Sen. Kamala Harris, my advice to her would be to politely decline.
Harris is a tested and proven campaigner who will work her backside off to get Biden elected. That said, the vice presidency is not the job she should go for - asking to be considered as attorney general in a Biden administration would be more like it.
Being picked for the vice presidency is obviously a huge honor, and if Biden wins, Harris would make history by being the first woman to hold the job.
But the glory would be short-lived, and historically, the vice presidency has often ended up being a dead end. For every George H.W. Bush, who ascended from the job to the presidency, there’s an Al Gore, who never got there.
True, the vice president does have an advantage the next time the party needs a new nominee, which in Biden’s case could be four years from now. But in the meantime, the vice president has no real power and little chance to accomplish anything independent of the president.
Basically, no one takes the vice president seriously after election day. Just ask Mike Pence.
Plus, if Biden wins, the Democrats will be moving into the White House in the middle of a pandemic and economic recession. The next few years promise to be a very bumpy ride. Barack Obama and the Democrats saved the nation from economic collapse when he took office, and their reward was a blowout loss in the 2010 midterm elections.

Being nothing if not wily, Willie published this for a reason. What? Is it that he already knows she’s not the pick and is giving Biden a hint on how to smooth hurt feelings with a corrupt bargain? He made it clear enough during her grab for the Presidential nomination that he thought she was not ready. Does he know she is incapable, or does he fear the scrutiny of nomination will expose his own activities?
Despite his downplaying the VP job, Brown knows Harris would soon be P, and he can’t seem to face the prospect. She must appreciate his public advice so much...
Harris is a tested and proven campaigner who will work her backside off ....
Damn, ol' Willie was making sense until he got to that part.
Willie should have added, “Unlike what she said to me.”
Ineligible to be Vice President or President because of being born a Jamaican national from her father, an Indian national from her mother and a US citizen by accident of geography.
Anyone born with more than ONE nationality is not naturally an American.
The quality the founders were insisting on was one of sole loyalty and allegiance to America that only comes from being born here of citizen parents.
I notice he correctly said if elected she would be the first female VP, NOT African-American VP, which she is not.
Next issue, has Heels Up Harris ever said “No”?
Biden Tells Staffers To Pick Any Black Person For VP 'Since They All Think The Same Anyway'
Willie Brown has home porn videos of the Prosecutin’ Princess and fake “african-American”...
He doesn’t want her to be questioned about her time working on his staff.
Used to be VP wasn’t worth a bucket of spit. These days it is the inside track to advance to the top job.
Does this article mention that she was his mistress?
Yes, Heels Up Harris goes to show you can sleep your way to the top.
Have at it.
“Kamala Harris should say no to vice presidency”
It’s been my understanding, she doesn’t say no to anything.
True, the vice president does have an advantage the next time the party needs a new nominee, which in Biden’s case could be four years from now. But in the meantime, the vice president has no real power and little chance to accomplish anything independent of the president.
I can always count on Freepers to have the absolute best comments!
Well who are we to argue about in which position Kamala would best perform?! Willie would know, second to none.
