Stacey Abrams escalates pressure campaign to be Biden's running mate
2020-04-29
[Wash Examiner] Failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacy Abrams is ramping up her pressure campaign to be Joe Biden's vice presidential pick.

According to Politico on Tuesday, Abrams has been calling Democratic power brokers and asking that they tell the Biden campaign she should be chosen as his running mate.

Abrams's efforts to win the veepstakes is nearly unprecedented in modern politics, with some Democrats saying her actions appear desperate.
"I might have to get a real job"
Nobody wants her — that’s why she is available, poor dear.
In multiple media appearances and interviews in the last month, Abrams has said she's interested in the role. She has described herself as an " excellent" pick for Biden and said on The View earlier in April that she would have "concerns" if Biden didn't pick a woman of color as a running mate.

Abrams has cited her experience in the private sector as well as her "independent study" of international affairs as qualifications for the role. Her only experience in public service includes being minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives.

"As a young black woman growing up in Mississippi, I learned that if you don't raise your hand, people won't see you, and they won't give you attention," Abrams told CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday. "But it's not about attention for being the running mate. It is about making sure that my qualifications aren't in question because they're not just speaking to me. They're speaking to young black women, young women of color, young people of color, who wonder if they, too, can be seen."

#20  Okay, I am very different. "Nobody wants her" is baseline truth. She and Harris are pure political whores. I am certain this is obvious to everyone here. What I am not sure is obvious is that either (actually many Dems) will say anything at any time to accrue more power. Power over others is their purest goal. Nothing will stand in the way of their attainment of that goal. Nothing. Truth, justice, etc. This has been obvious since their entry onto the political scene. Please tell me I am preaching to the choir? I hope?

(The whole point of this place is that we each see different things, and fill each other in.)

#6  If the Dem leadership tells Box Car to go take a f'in hike (which they really need to to kibosh her delusional aspirations ASAP), she's so psycho that I wonder if she'll turn the race card on her "fellow" Dems.
