I would normally agree with you, however these are not normal times. I have heard a number of people (in the real world) mention Liz and apart from age she ticks most of the boxes. For example it could get the Bernie Bros on side as they were sort of singing from the same hym sheet.

The other comment was that nobody sees Joe last 4 years, so the VP spot becomes much more significant.

And that last sentence is why I don't think Warren is the right choice. She's 70 herself. VP needs to be someone at least 15-20 years younger than the candidate IMO.

Would fear of Warren be enough to get you to vote for Trump.

Ha! No. I don't fear her, I just don't think she's the best choice.

She's also from a state where the governor - currently a Republican - gets to select a short-term replacement. That and her age would count against her, I presume.

I actually think that Abrams is as unqualified as Palin to be President.

I've been busy working recently and not yet looked up Abrams profile, she can't be as bat-shit crazy as Palin, can she? :ohmy:

No she isn't crazy, but Palin actually had accomplished more than she has as Governor of Alaska.

Abrams claim to fame is being the Minority Leader in the GA State House and a failed GA Governor candidate.

Hardly Presidential material, IMO.

I'd settle for Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck at the moment, the bar has been set rather low by the current arsehole.

I respectfull disagree with you. Here is a partial Palin resume:

Colleges:
University of Hawaii (enrolled, but never attended)
Hawaii Pacific University
North Idaho College
University of Idaho
Matanuska-Sisitna College
University of Idaho (received degree)

Elected to Wasilla, Alaska XCity Council (city pop. 7831)
Wasilla mayor, 1996 - 2003
Governor of Alaska (state pop. 300,000) 2 years.

Neither a stellar educational or political career for Palin.

.... and those Republicans and Admin who stand by and back through silence and collusion. Dreadful.
