The assumption was that Bill Clinton, a 45-year-old centrist Arkansas governor, would seek a running mate to provide balance — regional, ideological, generational. Instead, he went with Gore, a fellow centrist southerner from the Baby Boom generation. This was Clinton's way of demonstrating to voters his independence from the more liberal Washington wing of the Democratic Party, which was coming off three straight landslide defeats.
Biden kept his distance from all of this. But it was Biden, of course, who triumphed in the primaries, and he’s shownRepublican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan and his choice for Vice President George Bush field questions from reporters during a news conference in Detroit, on July 17, 1980.It's hard to believe now, but in the summer of 1980 there was still doubt over whether Ronald Reagan could actually win a national election.
His conservatism evoked memories of Barry Goldwater, who'd lost in a landslide 16 years earlier, and many wondered if the country might ultimately be unnerved by Reagan. Additionally, the GOP of that era still contained a sizable moderate — and even liberal — wing. There was danger for Reagan of losing GOP voters to Rep. John Anderson, a liberal Republican who'd run in the GOP primaries before bolting for an independent bid. Thus, there was pressure on Reagan to use his V.P. selection as a gesture of respect for and inclusion of his party's moderates. For a moment, it seemed he'd go with former President Gerald Ford, but when those negotiations collapsed Reagan chose George H.W.
Many party leaders and strategists saw in Edwards, a first–term North Carolina senator, a genuine political talent — articulate, television-friendly and marketable to middle-of-the road voters in swing states. Comparisons to Bill Clinton were common.
SteveKornacki そう言えば、うちらの都知事みどりのおばさんの都知事選のキャッチフレーズ何だったけ？ 思い出せない😱
SteveKornacki Are you kidding me with this? Where’s the articles on the failures of Pence? Shoot, they hate pence so bad the votes not to convict trump of obvious crimes just so they wouldn’t have Pence as top of the ticket. Miss me with this BS.

SteveKornacki Harris or warren or not my vote, def no rice
SteveKornacki The white Kamala Harris. The black Tori Spelling. ✊👌✊
SteveKornacki Laughable topic!!! Nothing But Crap!
SteveKornacki No matter who, Biden must win.
SteveKornacki You’re not concerned about Trump closing the GOP convention to the press? Why not? Isn’t this where the big shakedown will happen? What is he afraid of? What are they afraid of?
SteveKornacki Democrats are about to find out what happens when they don't get to pick their own candidate.
SteveKornacki This is the one on whom Russia is betting. It didn't work with Trump, it will come out with Biden. There is probably good incriminating evidence.
SteveKornacki We used to pick the best qualified for the job before this bizarre and inept Identity Politics came to be by today’s disgrace of a democrat party. Most Americans are smart & will VoteGOP in every state & for every seat 🇺🇸. It’s the only way to save our kids future.
SteveKornacki Glad Biden has a slogan, that is where Hilary went wrong, slogan help make politicians win, because it is memorable.
SteveKornacki Just FYI I refuse to read any more of this crap. I will support whomever Biden chooses. Enough.
SteveKornacki Wait. Joe Biden is still running?
Biden wont pick Harris because she’s a former cop and he prefers a more submissive woman VP like Warren. He needs her to win the election! Bring on the wealth tax on the richest 1%!
👴🏻
SteveKornacki NONE of his VP possible picks will help Joe 😂 Joe is doomed!! Game over! 😂
SteveKornacki In the past VP was chosen based on a merit. Joe is going to pick anybody who is at least similarly corrupt and is black with a vagina.
SteveKornacki Nobody is hurting this ticket Everyone he is vetting is 1 million times more qualified than that wet-noodle fake-ass christian, Pence & infinitely more qualified than the grifter in the WH
SteveKornacki Will he make it 😁🤷♂️
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki There is no better fit than Susan Rice

SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki Joe - if she smells great -she’s my Veep
SteveKornacki Hurt? I’ll vote for Joe if he chooses a lamppost as a running mate! TrumpIsACompleteFailure DumpTrump2020
SteveKornacki JoeBiden isn’t picking his VP. DNC will pick the lacky puppet to ensure the agenda is met and the narrative is pushed to preserve their power and authority over America. They could care less about We the People.
SteveKornacki When Biden's vice presidential pick is confirmed, the Trump team will probably put a lot of effort into the vice presidential pick!
SteveKornacki He could pick a sewer rat for his running mate, and still, I'd vote for JoeBiden2020 !
SteveKornacki As far as the rest of the world is concerned, it could be a thermos. All we care about is getting rid of the psychopath in chief.
SteveKornacki Harris or warren would be my choice
SteveKornacki Here you go. Have you seen other party VP?
SteveKornacki Shampoo and conditioner brands...
SteveKornacki goldrush sheswithus VoteGold JoeBiden JoJorgensen2020 Jorgensen4POTUS
SteveKornacki Typically the largest individual donors have a lot of influence in who is picked as the running mate. In this case the largest money donor is George Soros, and his choice has always been HRC. Now the job at hand is overcoming the revelations of Epstein's connection to Bill.
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki Media still trying to help trump win again.
SteveKornacki Biden put himself in a corner by limiting his choice of VP to be a woman. There are a lot of women with the ability to be VP but no good choice in his expected candidates. truth
SteveKornacki What’s the difference between his selection strategy than that of his predecessors? He is more interested in genitalia and skin color than anyone else…
SteveKornacki I will Vote for Joe and what ever great women he chooses
SteveKornacki Biden will choose the one whose hair smells the best. Or, maybe Hillary! 😊
SteveKornacki I will support whichever black woman the DNC picks for Joe Biden. BidenAndTheBlackWoman2020
SteveKornacki Must serve oatmeal.
SteveKornacki He should never be elected Socialism
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki 💥Joe Biden has no idea who is VP candidate is they have not told him yet!😝
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki There is one marker that must be met and there really is no way around it. As Joe Biden will be 82 at the end of the 1st term, he must pick a VP that can run for President..and win, full stop.
SteveKornacki Why would you want such a braindead Person to be President? He Looks like if he is on pills
SteveKornacki He could pick a farm animal and he’d still get my vote!
SteveKornacki Biden- choose a VP based upon color. Racist.
SteveKornacki Where the sad story about Clinton being naked in Epstein case? Two young girls! Very sad but you seem to not want to put that on your news? He was our president? supportvictims dontsupportabusers metoo
SteveKornacki Biden’s approach: Pander to the left wing nut jobs instead of picking the most qualified person for the job.
SteveKornacki Yes nobody has used race before to make a decision
SteveKornacki I know Joe said he would pick a woman, but not all women VP candidates help a campaign.
SteveKornacki Nina Turner or trump is winning a 2nd term
SteveKornacki He better choose Hillary Then within one year she can have him killed like the 54 others her and Bill rid the world of. She will achieve a life long dream being President Otherwise Biden won't win with a women
SteveKornacki DoNotDebate JoeBiden
SteveKornacki Are you racist MSNBC the money you use for a pizza and a few beers is enough to feed my puppy for a month don't reject me for being dark skinned you are not racist
SteveKornacki He needs one with a uterus and dark skin to check the all the boxes Identity politics at its worst try ideas not identity if you want to fix things Now if you just want control go for “first” of whatever As the brainless leftist love being part of history 🤦♂️
SteveKornacki I am sorry but Karen Bass reminds me of Sarah Palin on the point of: Not enough experience to be president. Please do not go there.
SteveKornacki His pick will hurt him. By committing to only choosing a black woman, he excludes many other Latin, asian, and other potentially great picks. I say BOO to excluding Latinos.
SteveKornacki After four years of hearing MAGA is bad, that china is not an adversary Joe Biden is running on 'build better back' or whatever and China is bad. Crickets from team blue
SteveKornacki Val Demings
SteveKornacki He's limited his choices to black women which is racist. He should be picking the best no matter the sex or Race.
SteveKornacki Biden will choose the woman whose hair smells the best...😊
SteveKornacki Be careful, Joe. Sarah Palin ruined John McCain’s chances of winning the election.
SteveKornacki Good chronicle but the conclusion fizzled ! You cannot predict the impact of a VP nominee until the deed is done and the fallout ensues. That’s the problem with punditry .
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki Russian Roulette
SteveKornacki He'll pick whomever he's 'instructed' to pick!!
SteveKornacki Here's the sad part, whoever he picks is the best black candidate, not the best candidate, kind of like the old affirmative action days.
SteveKornacki He is told he has to. That's right has to pick a black female. So NBC what the heck r u talking about.
SteveKornacki I really wish people would JUST STOP TALKING AND SPECULATING ABOUT JoeBiden's VP CHOICE. SHUT UUUUUUUUPPPPP!!!
SteveKornacki He's not going to pick the most qualified running mate, who could be POTUS. He's going to pick someone that he thinks will help him get elected. And in this case, he thinks that will be a black female. Good thing we're not making decisions based on race or stereotyping anymore.
SteveKornacki Ok, here I've got and idea for you. Just imagine this, Joe/Nancy!.
SteveKornacki Enney meeny miney mo.
SteveKornacki Anticlimactic.Blurt it out!
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki
SteveKornacki Whoever JoeBiden picks will be the right VP. We can’t wait until November to elect him and his running mate!
