I don't think she'll be vying for VP. I don't get the sense she will be, anyway.

If Dems somehow take back the senate she'd make a much better Senate Majority leader. Probably not as likely now, but IDK, it's possible I'm spending way too much time on SA/Twitter listening to all the incensed yelling to get a sense of perspective on where the usual base and undecideds happen to be right now.

I think her skills and talents would place her best as a cabinet secretary.

Yeah as someone said, Twitter/SA/etc aren't real life. It's grating seeing people loudly scream they won't vote if their candidate isn't the nominee...but based on the primaries thus far, that's not happening. Who loving knows what the landscape looks like in a month let alone nine months from now.

I don't think Biden or Bernie or any other Dem is a lock against Trump, but I don't think he's guaranteed second term that Bernie or Busters make him out to be because Sanders isn't getting the nomination.

Yeah as much as I'd love to see her as VP, she'd be far more effective as majority leader or Treasury Secretary.

Multiple people before today have brought that up as a knock against Biden choosing her as VP or for a cabinet post.

It would also only be temp replacement, special election would follow shortly after (if that's the case).

I would be able to swallow Biden as the candidate with Stacey Abrams as VP. Either she gets to spend four years storming around the country shining lights on our dog poo poo voter suppression efforts or the Boomer Doomer does it's magic and we get a CHUD-brain-blasting double whammy in the big chair.

With some of the experimental therapeutic interventions, chances aren't terrible. They'd probably be first on 'promising trials' if they wanted to go that route, but mostly docs are just repurposing other meds to try and halt lung damage.

Without therapeutic intervention, they're on the same '8% chance of being the one to get glassed' as any other old person. Sanders moreso on account of his heart condition. Trump for-- whatever he's probably got.

Some poor bastard who's still in posted:

Medics come by once a day, take their temperatures, and move on. Until Tuesday, they weren’t even allowed to leave their room at Fort Bliss — not to exercise or even just enjoy a gulp of fresh El Paso air after the crucible of Afghanistan. They get two meals a day, two bottles of water, one bathroom between them and no further information about what they’re supposed to do during their 14-day stay in quarantine. 

Could be worse. If Walter Reed was still open, they might have been sent there.

I haven't even bothered with the doctor yet. Same boat, no way they're going to test me at this point and it would be wasting resources if they did. Luckily I'll be on WFH shortly.

deploying through CRC at bliss was easily one of the most clusterfuck situations i ever experienced in the army. no other pre/post-deployment even comes close. god help the individual augmentees going through there for their first deployment who don't know any better. none of the "cadre" there knew anything, were at all helpful, and each one acted like they had never experienced a soldier going somewhere else other than Afghanistan or Kuwait, despite the constant stream of people before and after me with different assignments.

they are complete dipshits, top to bottom, so no, this doesn't surprise me whatsoever.

as much as i'd liked to have seen warren as POTUS, if the dems manage to flip the senate, she will be very effective there. her defining feature is progressive economic policy; she's right where she needs to be.
