Upstaging Biden's VP Pick

[billisonboard]

How will Joe Biden set up his VP selection announcement to circumvent President Trump's action to upstage it? Will Biden be successful?

NOTE: This is for when, not if Trump does it.

[happyhoix]

I think a pretty good chunk of the population, me included, have our president on 'ignore' right now. 

I watch the local news and the national news, but don't bother watching Trump's little nightly rallies, since 1) I get no trustworthy info from him, and 2) he persists in trying to blame everyone and everything else, while patting himself on the back. 

Which is 180 degrees different from what good leaders do in a crisis. 

Hopefully, when he tries to talk over Biden's big news, Trump gets ignored.

Stormy Daniels might make a good pick.

edit: upstage THIS, muthafukka!!!

Obama has stated he will be coming out big in support of his previous VP. I assume that means Michelle will help as well. 

Guess Trump will have to call the routin' tootin' Alaska Barbie, Sarah Palin, out of retirement to be his cheerleader. 

I'm sure she'll have no problem cutting Obama down to size.

Now that it is Biden, will trump Pence and go with Nikki Haley to attract female voters because Biden stated his V.P. choice would be a female?

I don't think he can, it would piss off his evangelical base, and Pence hasn't done anything too awful in his role with the coronavirus. 

Although I could fill a book with shit I didn't think Trump would dare to do, so yeah, he'll probably do it. 

Who was that black woman that worked for him a while? Omarosa? I'm sure she'd be up for it.

I thought the same thing. Women voters vs. Evangelical voters?

[oped]

Because I have a vagina I’d vote for Nikki Haley?

I think this will be the case. The evangelical base has nowhere else to go, so they are "stuck" with Trump. Trump can't choose an African American as Obama is going to support Biden.  So, he will need to try to appeal to suburban women, who are going to be the swing vote.

If he does this, I think that is what he would be thinking.

Well he is stupid...

Yeah, I am part of that demographic.  I have a LOT going on right now.  I don't have over an hour every night (during dinner hour no less!  ) to devote to his lying, preening side show, especially now that his advice is actually endangering people.  So I read a bit about it, but we definitely do NOT watch his garbage.

I don't think it will be "talk". I think it will be more than that. Something with Iran won't shock me.

God forbid the thought.

But you are probably right. The man literally can’t loose- think of all the inquiries and legal actions that will pop up the minute he’s no longer president? Like those sealed indictments from the Mueller investigation? If he doesn’t have the protection of the office and the presidential bully pulpit to threaten everyone who is not “nice to him he’s fucked, and so is his family and company.

Just had a thought..If he loses the election in November, while still in office, is he able to issue pardons for his family members, favorite supporters and most important..HIMSELF...If so, then if court cases to take away such pardons...in his case, before a final SCOTUS ruling, he probably will have gone to that TRUMP TOWER  in the sky..

Yes, he will be able to issue pardons for others. Can he pardon himself? He thinks he can:

As has been stated by numerous legal scholars, I have the absolute right to PARDON myself, but why would I do that when I have done nothing wrong? In the meantime, the never ending Witch Hunt, led by 13 very Angry and Conflicted Democrats (& others) continues into the mid-terms! link

Which means ,IMHO, if he loses the election, I expect he will pardon himself, and then ride out the expected court battles which with delaying tactics could stretch for years...to the point he is no longer with us...

The man has a big case of "Chutzpa" {Yiddish word and happening}

Let me explain...A man murders his Mother and Father...then as his defense and looking for mercy , throws himself at the court asking for mercy because he is a orphan...that is "Chutzpa"

Who was that black woman that worked for him a while? Omarosa? I'm sure she'd be up for it. 

President Trump announced today during his regular weekend tweetstorm that he is suing former aide and The Apprentice arch-villian Omarosa Manigault Newman and unspecified others for a breach of confidentiality agreements.



“Yes, I am currently suing various people for violating their confidentiality agreements,” Trump tweeted. “Disgusting and foul mouthed Omarosa is one. I gave her every break, despite the fact that she was despised by everyone, and she went for some cheap money from a book."

He’ll do it remotely. He can’t risk catching covid-19. He and his chosen VP might not be in the same room.

[djAdvocate]

until about a week ago, he took that risk pretty much every day.

nice to hear that he is taking the virus seriously.

too bad he has not demanded that the rest of the nation does the same.

[countrygirl2]

Oh I think he will drop pence in a heart beat, he thinks he has the evangelicals by the balls, he won't give a whit about him. And I doubt his followers do either. If he says kiss my butt, they will just ask which part  I have never seen such a bunch of ignorant people in my life.

Honestly, I hope he does pardon himself. I hope he finds every disgusting loop hole in our constitution and current laws regarding presidential power, and his abuse is so easily seen and proven that congress is forced to act to close them, to prevent anyone from either party from acting like this again.
