Ainsley well with the
Ainsley well with the
democratic convention one week
away, presumptive nominee, Joe
Biden, still mum, the word on who
is going to be his running mate.
Last week, more than three hundred Dnc
delegates and members signed a
letter urging him to choose
Congresswoman Bass,
theres her picture
saying this. She is the best
choice, among vice presidential
candidates, under consideration
to help unify our party and move
our nation forward.
Joining us now to react is
commentary writer for the
Washington examiner, Tiana Lowe
Good Morning to you
good morning Ainsley.
What do you think if he does
choose Congresswoman Bass?
This is the congresswoman who
recently in twenty sixteen referred to
Castro. As
speaking Spanish,
I dont know if the voters in
Florida are going to Joe Biden
was losing among Latinos in the
primary to Bernie Sanders, except
in Florida, because of that
extremely diverse cuban
anti communist latino
population.
Only two Democrats have only one
the presidency by losing
Florida
most recently Bill Clinton in
the nineteen. Ninety two spoiler election
I mean, if Democrats all they
have to do, is not throw the
selection and not make it a
referendum. On Joe Biden,
will choosing Karen Bass give
the Trump campaign in kind
donation,
Ainsley showed clip from Jill
Biden when asked who he would
pick as vice president,
someone? Is he comfortable with
and shares his values and thats
what he always had with Barack
if she is sympathizing with
Castro, those are her values or
once were at least what does
that say about Joe Biden,
so Joe Biden won the entire
primary by bucking, the party
base that has moved increasingly
far to the left
he rejected Medicare for all
he rejected the green new deal,
and now AOC is on his climate
change panel Stephanie Kelton,
who is a believer in the
monetary theory on economic
panel?
These are increasingly left wing
decisions,
the more he does this and allows
the Trump campaign to define. Who
is he and quite frankly, making
it quite easy by not leaving his
basement?
Why is Jill doing all these in
person interviews and he is not
so choosing someone like Karen
Bass, who is a democratic
establishment, referred to as a
compromised candidate, frankly,
its nuts
no other way to describe it than
that
Ainsley? What do you think about
his time being
one week away from the Dnc? Is
that a mistake or really rally
his base and get more excitement
and people watch on television?
So this is sort of the Fun
House Mirror version of the
Clinton primary
she actually clinched. The
nomination relatively late and
Joe Biden did so relatively
early because Joe Biden is not
as unlikeable as Hillary
Clinton.
It might be a benefit of him to
give all the oppo research about
candidates coming out now, but
he did really box himself in by
saying he would only choose a
woman and now, increasingly, the
pressure is on to choose a woman
of color and predominantly a
black woman.
Unfortunately, given the
political reality, there are no
black governors in the country
and only one black woman Senator
Kamala Harris
this really that paper, this rows
down his options and means it
sort of turned into this
intersectional catfight of Susan
Rice and Kamala Harris and Karen
Bass dumping on each other,
leaving him with very few good
options,
not that late. In terms of the
historical scope of this
think about it,
he will be older on inauguration
day than Ronald Reagan, our
oldest president, ever on his
last day in office.
This is not a great position for
the front runner of the race.
