Biden Backtracks on Picking Woman of Color as Running Mate
[BREITBART] Former Vice President Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women created ... by the — you know — you know, the thing...
is backtracking on the idea that his eventual running mate will be a woman of color.

Biden, who is facing criticism after appearing to claim that African Americans considering voting for President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
"ain’t black," told CNN’s Dana Bash on Tuesday during an interview that he was not ready to promise to put a woman of color on the ticket despite rumors in recent weeks that he was heading in that direction.

"Look, I’m not going to get into that now because we haven’t gotten there yet," the former vice president said when asked if his running mate would be a woman of color. "There are women of color under consideration and there are women from every part of the country under consideration."
"I've got binders of wymyns"
"There’s a lot of really qualified women that are ready to be president, but I’m not making that commitment," Biden added.

The former vice president’s declaration comes as speculation about who will be his running mate has increased in recent weeks. Biden, himself, has only stoked such talk. Earlier this year, Biden promised that his running mate would be a woman, then followed that up by asserting that whoever he ultimately chose would have to be "ready to be president on a moment’s notice."

While the former vice president has engaged in such discussion publicly, his allies within the Democrat camp have been actively pushing for a woman of color. The effort largely stems from the outsize influence black voters have on the Democrat primary and the general election. That influence was seen at the outset of the presidential primaries this year when Biden’s campaign flopped in the first two early voting states of Iowa and New Hampshire. Although most political analysts were quick to write off his White House ambitions after those defeats, Biden rallied his campaign by scoring a landslide win in South Carolina thanks to his longstanding support among black voters, who made up nearly two-thirds of the state’s primary electorate.

#3 Makes sense with Tulsi. She's a big Bernie supporter, so that might garner that fringe element.

Kamala is rubbish. She seems to be pretty quiet since the debates.

#4 All women have a color and anyone can now identify as a woman, so he's got nothing to worry about here.

#6 Kamila is a bit too old now to suck for her job like she did with Brown, Willy..

#7 It's shaping up to be a loser ticket. Other than Boxcar Abrams (who has never had a job), not many people are interested in leaving their 'day job' for a losing ticket.
