How much damage has his latest gaffe caused?
Plenty.
How will the black community view any black VP pick now.
Especially if the pick is ^enthusiastic^ about being second-fiddle to an addled bigot?
Yet, the VP pick must NOW be a black woman.
Imagine the uproar from the unemployed white millennials if Joe picks some wyepeepo for Veep!
No turning back Joe.
Today no one votes FOR POTUS based on VP running mate.
But they will vote AGAINST based on that mate.
It's been that way for weeks. My prediction is that it will be Harris for VP and promise Rice the Secretary of State slot if Biden wins.
People are just shaking their heads wondering how the Democrats can be so stupid.
Joe Biden has a bigger problem with mental balancing.
True.
biden’s entire plan is AGAINST Trump. Nobody will vote for him. And that’s usually a loser bet.
They are trying to counter the plantation thing, but are only proving it to be true. People know when they are being pandered to.
Constitution figured POTUS would be chosen more or less by states. Second place finisher became VPOTUS.
This system cut into the systematic graft that political parties facilitate, so the constitution was amended to ensure POTUS and VPOTUS would be from the same party.
The only reason I voted GOP in 2008 was Sarah Palin. McCain can rot.
Thankfully for us, that will NEVER, EVER happen, the party establishment would never let him even consider such a choice. So he will be saddled with a far left BLM feminist and likely do even worse than Hillary did in the moderate, white, blue collar states.
Both sides pander to their base.
“Today no one votes FOR POTUS based on VP running mate.

Interesting; so are you saying that people did not vote for McCain because Palin was his VP pick?
As I recall, there were a lot of people on this forum who wrote that the only reason they voted for McCain was because Palin was his running mate.
Same here. Had a conversation recently, someone arguing McCain lost because of Palin. I explained and reminded him that of McCains 60-million votes, (whatever the total was), a third of those people wouldn’t have crossed the street to shake his hand. Palin provided an energy boost to an otherwise pathetic campaign. Had he picked a fellow RINO-squish for VP the result would have been crushed in a Mondale-level beating
I thought Michael Barone was a political pro. Geraldine Ferraro was not any sort of asset to Mondale. In fact her husband’s mobbed-up ties turned out to be the last nail in his coffin.
May not be a loser bet this year.

Joe can't wait to find out who he picked for his Veep.
Ticket Balancing? Ha.
I believe that Biden has a problem finding some one to ru with him. Running as VP on a Biden ticket is political suicide
>>As I recall, there were a lot of people on this forum who wrote that the only reason they voted for McCain was because Palin was his running mate.<<
But had McCain been unpalatable Palin would not have swayed their vote. Worst case they would not have voted at all as no way would they have voted for gore.
And this is a politically aware board. The average person votes as I said.
Or so I contend.
