Maybe it will be Clinton's chance.

I heard two senior Democratic Party representatives (sorry but I didn't catch the names) discussing Warren's withdrawal on Radio 4 this morning.

They suggested that Biden was now a shoe in and that he was certain to choose a woman to be his VP and paving the way for her to succeed him, maybe after 4 years.

Clinton was mentioned but not as a possible candidate. It is thought her legacy of failing to Trump in 2016 was toxic and one of the reasons a woman has not been chosen this time. Their priority is to get rid of Trump at all costs. The VP is likely to be one of the other candidates, with Kamala Harris seeming the favourite.

Interestly I have read that Trump might be considering dropping Pence from his ticket and replacing him with a woman. Nikki Hayley being the name most mentioned. So maybe he sees the danger and wants to cut it off. That would be typical Trump. Acting in his own self interest.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

Neither the Dems, nor Biden, are doing it through self interest. Their overriding interest is to remove Trump because they believe he is unfit to lead the country and the world. They will choose whoever they believe is best able to do that. That's why the other candidates, including Bloomberg and his money, are now getting behind Biden.

Trump, on the other hand, would dump Pence and choose a woman only because it might help him get re-elected. If he thought Pence would be the better option then he would stay with him. Whether it might be in the longer term interests of the country to promote a woman won't enter his mind. It's all self interest. He, and his supporters, will justify it by saying that retaining Trump and stopping the "communists" is in the country's best interests etc etc but no-one with half a brain believes that guff. It's very obviously all about him with Trump.

I'm enjoying watching the Democrats pick Biden....the hypocrisy of the Democrats knows no bounds....the Republicans are just the same of course but it's the Democrats who actually pretend they are moral....When the truth is that they are probably even dirtier....They couldn't have behaved worse during this presidency and if they win they won't have a leg to stand on criticising how the Republicans behave.

But sorry....I can't see them winning with the child sniffer.

I think their best chance was with Sanders but it looks like he's toast.

Regardless of what happens though, this is going to be fun.
