Hey Plugs - You want the CBC vote, here's what it will take

2019-05-13

[Politico] The Congressional Black Caucus may have found an answer to its Joe Biden dilemma: Vice President Kamala Harris.

Some black lawmakers are agonizing over whether to back Biden or two members of the close-knit caucus ‐ Sens. Harris and Cory Booker ‐ who are also vying for the White House, according to interviews with a dozen CBC members.

But with the former vice president jumping out to a huge, if early, lead in the polls, several CBC members are warming to the idea of a Biden-Harris ticket to take on President Donald Trump.

"That would be a dream ticket for me, a dream ticket!" said Rep. Lacy Clay (D-Mo.). "If she is not the nominee, that would be a dream ticket for this country."

Harris is everything the 76-year-old Biden is not. The freshman senator from California is younger, a woman and a person of color. As Biden gets dinged for his bipartisan bromides, Harris is winning applause from progressives for her merciless cross-examination of Trump officials.

#16 Eh, got to have fun. Now, side window is NRA sticker.
Other side says PETA, but very small text is "people eating tasty animals".

Around here, the Harris sticker is likely to get my car showered with rose petals. Damned commies.

Good way to get your new Outback keyed, or collect bricks.

#12 I had a couple of Warren / Harris 2020! stickers made up, to go with my new Outback and to screw with people. Maybe, just maybe, a Harris / Abrams 2020! sticker is in order. And note the order of the names.

It looked like this.

#10 I'm still waiting for when even Joe tanks in the polls for the dems to roll out Hillary in a wheelchair. "Look! I'm FDR 2.0!"

#9 Harris out front in 2024, no longer held back by a weird old white man.

#8 They're probably hoping Ol' Joe will drop out for health reasons - the frickin' election is still 18 months away!

#7 I thought Kamala 'the courtesan' Harris would be better (maybe less visual)
