'Haystacks' Abrams Pressures Biden For VP Slot
This fat loser needs a nickname and Haystacks Calhoun just jumped out for some reason. I'll blame the hangover. Let's hear it from the Rantburg regulars - what's your nickname for the Walking Double Whopper?
[Hot Air] - Stacey Abrams has issued quite a few hints in the past few weeks that she is tan, rested and ready to be Joe Biden’s VP. The tan part is a bit of a joke only not really. Today Abrams made her pitch on The View where co-host Sunny Hostin asked if Biden should commit to not only selecting a woman VP but a woman of color. Abrams tried to be diplomatic but her answer basically came down to agreeing that he needed to do that. Here’s how it went:

"Stacey, this is something that is concerning to me," Hostin said. She continued, "Biden has committed to a woman as vice-president but has stopped short of committing to a woman of color. How important is it, do you think, for Biden to make that commitment? Do you think that not choosing a woman of color, a black woman actually, is a slap in the face to the black female voters who are credited with really reviving his candidacy?"

"I think Vice-President Biden is going to make a smart choice," Abrams replied. She added, "I would share your concerns about not picking a woman of color because women of color, particularly black women, are the strongest part of the Democratic party."
Such grace and subtlety! This broad, if nominated to the VP slot, would make Geraldine Fereraro look like Golda Meir or Margaret Thatcher by comparison.

#1 Biden already has 90-95 % of that sector's vote. What's to be gained ?

#8 Plugz's veep will be seen as the real nominee. Can't be this specimen. Still betting on Cuomo or Hillary.

#15 Just received a survey invite from a Progressive mailing list... it's all about preferred VP choices and the shortlist of 5 potential choices they provide has The Hitt at the top of the list. The others in descending order are
2. KamalHo
3. Tank
4. Fauxcahontas
5. Whitless

From which I conclude that they're actually serious about this specimen. Unbelievable.

#17 Why are we still talking about this ? "Tank Abrams" is the clear winner - you can call her M1A1 for short.

#19 Trump has been getting a larger and larger percentage of the black vote in polls before the virus. Odds are the polls were already weighted and he still got those numbers.Abrams hopes to take advantage of these facts.
