As we draw nearer and nearer to Joe Biden picking his running mate, it’s becoming clearer who is and is not going to make it.

It has become fairly clear that Elizabeth Warren is on the rise to take Abrams’ spot as the media darling in the race for Vice President, but just how far Abrams’ star had fallen wasn’t clear until recently. Several Biden insiders have spoken out, saying that “No one takes Stacey seriously,” and that’s despite her very aggressive media campaign to be taken seriously.

To be fair to the Biden team, Abrams has absolutely no record of accomplishment whatsoever. She lost the only statewide race she’s ever been in and has only ever been a state legislator. There are also whispers out of Georgia that some state Democrats feel her operation after the 2018 election was more of a grifter movement than a genuine one. Abrams did not make anyone happy with how loudly and vocally she had been auditioning for the job of Vice President.


quote:

No one takes Stacey seriously. And her public campaigning for the job seems more like a hostage negotiation than an actual attempt to get the job,” a Biden insider told The Post. “Biden is an old school guy and will always be. Picking Stacey would be like picking [Sarah] Palin. He doesn’t need to throw a Hail Mary. He wants a good governing partner.”

Stacey isn’t ready on day one. Even she knows that and it’s why she’s engaging in this dance. She might get perfunctorily better, but she’s not a serious pick for him. And her campaign is viewed as much as promotion for her book as it is for being chosen as Biden’s VP,” the insider continued, referring to Abrams’ forthcoming book “Our Time Is Now.”

There’s a large gap between her and the field

Everyone his campaign has floated has been a Hail Mary.....Pocahontas is the ultimate Hail Mary....hell if he just wanted a good governing partner the Dims would be looking at people like Steny Hoyer....but they aren't they are looking at the biggest leftist, socialist trash they can find.

Before 2020, I’d seen the word grifter maybe 10 times in my life.

I wouldn’t be surprised if I see it every single day now.

What gives?

As a Georgia resident, I take her very seriously. I live around the people who voted for her, and I amseriously concerned that their fricked up radically insane views may one day prevail in this State.

Seems safe, albeit with little upside

I just can't imagine Warren helping. She'd get the nutjobs on board (but haven't they already come around?), but she just seems like a huge liability to 75% of the country who do/will find her absolutely obnoxious.

That's what you get when you unequivocally say you are picking a woman and your party is all about race.

She may be off the Shortlist, but she will always be on the Fatlist.
