Progressives say Susan Rice's extensive past holdings in an array of industries at odds with liberal causes could make her ill-suited to be VP in a Democratic administration

When Susan Rice was under consideration for secretary of state in 2012, she was attacked by environmentalists for holding stock in the controversial Keystone Pipeline XL deal.

At the time, Rice’s financial disclosures showed that she and her husband — scion of a wealthy Canadian family — owned as much as $600,000 worth of stock in TransCanada, the company that owned Keystone. She held stock in TransCanada and other fossil fuel companies for the entire eight years she served in the Obama Administration.

A Rice spokeswoman would not comment on whether she still holds stock in the company that owns Keystone.

We’re not expecting her to be progressive. Biden and Rice would stand for the basic values of democracy, rule of law and integrity of government, which all patriotic, non-corrupt Americans can robustly support.

It would tough for progressives to explain that they’re not supporting Biden because he chose a black woman as his running mate.

one of the 'lying liars'

BS

Biden will be the President not Rice! Hello 👏👏

Secretary of state. Unless Obama would like the job.

Say it ain’t so... I love her.

I say Bass’s support if Scientology and Castro make her ill suited to be VP.

Well, that confirms it, she is a Bernie-style socialist

Typical you need to follow her espoused values, but heaven forbid she should have to follow them

Not an issue !

she was necked by Chinese security guards as she and Obama visit China

Not Rice.

She’s a behind the curtain Democrat. Her kind isn’t supposed to go through the public scrutiny of an election. The only reason her name is in the hat is so she can say any investigation into her is political.

Are they alarmed by how many people senator Harris put in prison for minor offenses?

But I bet she’d put them in a blind trust unlike he who shall not be named.

Again I ask: Why do you hild women of color to a higher standard than anyone else?

Not one of them is suited to be VP- start all over with New list?

AmbassadorRice is pure evil. She should be kicked out of the party. ANYBODYBUTRICE

Wasn't Biden supposed to announce his VP pick this week?

Her son John David is a MAGAT

lol

Why aren’t the progressives shouting about Susan Rice’s myriad of accomplishments The progressives should STFU, stop the factional infighting and concentrate on the goal ... ending Trump’s presidency ...

Maybe so, but she’s the queen of Lying 101 and has zero integrity so she seems to be eminently qualified.

I think she'd be a great secretary of state though.

She could divest.

Biden could pick Stormy Daniels and I would still vote for him.

2016 all over again. We are going to hear the balanced news argument again.

I think he'll go with Karen Bass, for her experience, her ability to work with all parties and get results, and her humility. Harris will become AG, and Rice Secretary of State.

We're going to shit all over ourselves and lose this fucking thing just like we did in 2016 aren't we? Biden could pick the lamest duck candidate out there, this would still be a step up from Pence.

I like her she is competent and intelligent

Fu*k progressives

I don’t care! If Joe picks her, I’m still voting for him!

Also she went on all the Sunday shows and lied that Benghazi was caused by a YouTube video. Actually, mostly that.

No matter who he picks I’m voting Biden 2020.

I respect Susan but I can't see her energising voters. There are better candidates.

Never mind incompetent.

No we don't...

'Progressives' can go cry about it.

Plus she’s kinda ugly

She’s always been an insider crook. Makes her qualified to be JoeBiden pick.

I think everyone is more concerned about trumps vast financial investments.
