Maxine Waters says she's confident Joe Biden will choose a Black woman as a running mate
[MSN] Rep. The Ageless and Downright Brilliant Comrade Maxine Impeach 45! Waters
...U.S. Representative for California's 43rd congressional district, serving since 1991, a total of 28.69448 years. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the most senior of the twelve black women currently serving in the United States Congress, and a member and former chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. Before becoming a member of Congress she served in the California Assembly, to which she was first elected back when Disco was in flower, in 1976, which would make it 43.69243 years. She has been a politician for virtually all her adult life. If she was a little brighter she'd be a Communist...
said Sunday she's confident presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant...
will choose a Black woman as his running mate ahead of his anticipated announcement in the coming days.

Continued from Page 6



"It's going to be historic whomever ever it is. Do I believe that it's going to be an African American woman? I certainly do," the Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...

...CNN's showboating White House correspondent...
on "Newsroom."

Waters specifically cited influence from South Carolina Rep. James Clyburn as well as "the way African American women have emerged in this country, showing they're the most reliable part of the Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat...
" as the reason she believes Biden will select a Black woman.

Since pledging five months ago to choose a woman to join his ticket, 11 potential vice presidential candidates have undergone vetting of financial records, personal backgrounds and medical histories. The search is conducted in secrecy, with even many senior-level campaign aides not directly privy to what Biden is thinking.

But conversations with Democrats close to the process, along with party officials and donors who have also weighed in, suggest California Sen. Kámala Harris
Former Oakland mayor Willie Brown's former mistress, now a senatrix from California and former 2020 Dem presidential hopeful...
, former Obama national security adviser Susan Rice and Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer
...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender...
are among those he's seriously considering as he nears the end of his search.

Biden isn't particularly close with most of the women on his list, people familiar with the search say, so he's taking considerable time studying vetting materials, watching their television interviews and following his own gut with the goal of finding someone whose loyalty he believes can blossom into a true governing partnership.

"It's been very orderly. Every one of the women I've -- we've -- interviewed is qualified," Biden said in an interview released Thursday. "And I've narrowed it down."

Pressed on Sunday if she knew who Biden would select, Waters offered, "I don't know exactly whom it's going to be. I know who I would prefer, but I don't think who I would prefer has anything to do with who he's going to select."

"It seems to me that they have gotten down to possibly just two. And that is Kamala and that is Susan. So I believe it will be one of them. I do have preference," she continued.

"I'm not going to say who it is at this point, but I think my preference is going to be the one that will be selected."

#8 Maxine, I wouldn't count on Joe to tell the truth. He has often climbed a tree to lie instead of staying on the ground to tell the truth. At other times, he just doesn't seem to know what he is saying.

#19 ...Interesting bit of tea leaf reading from www.hotair this afternoon - full article is behind a paywall, but the short version is this: Whoever the VP nominee is, they get a star turn on the podium on night 3 of the convention.

Kamala Harris has been confirmed for night 4.

Time to thank her and give her a case of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco treat? Stay tuned...

(BTW, I think it's going to be Rice. She's the least bad option, but when she takes over for Joe she'll be a shadow president for the Obamas.)

#20 ^ I agree with a Rice pick. Why waste a future talent in a lost election? She's tainted and won't help him pick up any state, but she IS loyal, and a natural liar
