This is the same WaPo columnist who wrote Democrats weaponizing flags to intimidate Alito is an embarrassment
So maaayyybe she doesn’t have the best judgment.
How about we all hold hands and vomit in our own mouths instead, continuously reswalllowing the vomit before puking it back up again.
Sounds more appealing than anything they've got going
Ways to lose the 2nd easiest layup election ever: run the person who lost the 1st easiest layup election ever
Okay, hear me out. Yes, Hilldog got the DNC nomination and lost what was supposed to be the most softball Democratic presidential victory in American history, giving us 4 years of Trump. But! But....what if we get her on the ticket with Biden, Biden secures the re-election. Hillary is Vice President for 4 years. Does a great job, makes a lot of people at Goldman Sachs very wealthy, pushes for new legislation to have black teenagers officially outlawed, etc. Then, at the ripe old age of 80, we get a Hillary Clinton presidential bid once a motherfucking 'gain. And then she loses to, oh, I'm gonna say....David Duke.
It's Her Turn, the Hilldawg Cometh
How is it that in a country of 300 million where half are Democrats, you can't find a single politician that isn't that isn't a terrible choice for president? I'm asking as an outsider. Why would hilare be a good VP when she was destroyed for being a war mongering asshole? Why is Biden running against Trump while on deaths door?
We don’t really decide who we get to vote for for president. The GOP and DNC pick “their people”, and then the people who aren’t exhausted by the concept try to pick the least bad one of the two choices.
Because money is speech. Those with money are the loudest. Nothing more, nothing less. Running for office is unaffordable to the average person. By Design. The system could work. If campaigns were only publicly funded.
It's pretty abysmal. It's the oligarchy that picks who they want.
Yeah. The primary election process is entirely a sham. We have no real choice in selecting the candidates.
I mean, I guess in most countries it's the parties who pick the candidates but at least there's real choice of a handful
People with real skills and leadership ability aren't politicians.
Oh my god please no
Washington Post is owned by Jeff Bezos, that's all I need to know to dismiss all of their "reporting".
Bezos’s newspaper favors a conservative capitalist Democrat. No surprise here.
This has to be a Trump psyop
Retch
Washington Post columnist is an idiot.
Washington Post editor is an idiot for allowing this column to be published in there paper. Especially since it has no chance whatsoever of happening.
Shouldn't Biden be the one that gets replaced?
Ah yes - Kathleen Parker, one of WaPo’s conservative opinion writers. Why anyone should care what she thinks or writes about is beyond me.
Jesus fucking christ.
Have pundits learned nothing? Clinton lost against Trump in critical states, even through she won the popular vote. If she's in a race with Trump, and a president as unpopular as Biden, she would almost certainly help Biden lose. Harris is mostly just meh; she's fairly progressive personally, but doesn't have a lot of direct power as a VP, and she's pretty low profile, so there's not a lot of hate for her. Clinton though?
NO
I honestly think Clinton would have been a decent president, and that she was consistently smeared, but this is a terrible idea. There are lots of people who have bought into her being the antichrist and who could never vote for a ticket she's on.
I dunno like I get that people hate her, justifiably, but I find it very hard to believe that Harris is better
Harris doesn't elicit the strong negative emotions as Hilary. People might not like her, but few viscerally hate her.
Sorry I shouldn't been more clear; yes she would hurt the numbers in terms of voting, but I meant that she would be better at actually doing the job
Oh, for sure - "career politician" has a stink to it, but those folks get stuff done
She would have been amazing as a president, but if you really want to trigger a red wave of insane Trump voters foaming at the mouth about "her emails!" bringing back Hillary would definitely be the way to do it.
I dunno, I haven't forgiven that slavemaster for y'know, chattel-slaving Arkansas prisoners for the Governor's Mansion while Bill was still running it. Note: when I say "haven't forgiven", what I really mean is "I pray for the spiritual successor to John Brown to appear every two weeks".
