Abrams Tank the governor (in her mind) of Georgia wants to be VP. Check out the photo on this fluff piece.
Experienced politicians know there is a right way to answer questions about pursuing higher office. Be demure. Redirect. Convey vague interest while insisting never to have given it serious consideration. But Stacey Abrams does not give the expected answer when I ask if she would accept an offer from former vice president Joe Biden to serve as his 2020 running mate. “Yes. I would be honored,” Abrams says. “I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating typically ignored communities. I have a strong history of executive and management experience in the private, public, and nonprofit sectors. I’ve spent 25 years in independent study of foreign policy. I am ready to help advance an agenda of restoring America’s place in the world. If I am selected, I am prepared and excited to serve.”
Of course she would have to give up her role as the fake governor of Georgia.
Abrams’s direct response betrays ambition, makes verifiable claims, and establishes outcomes to which she could later be held accountable. By normal political rules, it is the wrong answer. But as Abrams and I talk in March in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, it is clear that normal political rules no longer apply. I’m asking her about an unknown political future even as the future itself is frighteningly unknowable: schools closing, businesses shuttering, and Americans sheltering against a raging virus we can barely fathom. Amid this chaotic unpredictability, Abrams’s candor is disarming and comforting.
“Disarming and comforting” all at the same time.
In the March 15 televised debate, Biden committed to choosing a woman as his running mate. Less than a week later, the progressive strategy network Way to Win released survey data indicating Stacey Abrams was Biden’s strongest potential lieutenant. A graduate of Spelman College, the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT Austin, and Yale Law School, Abrams made history as the first woman to lead a political party in Georgia’s General Assembly and the first African American to lead the Georgia House of Representatives. In 2018, she pursued history again, mounting an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to become America’s first black woman governor. Her defeat came amid election irregularities and allegations of voter suppression. Abrams refused to concede the close race to her Republican opponent, Brian Kemp. “I’m supposed to say nice things and accept my fate,” Abrams writes in the preface to her New York Times best-seller, Lead From the Outside. “I refused to be gaslighted into throwing away my power, diminishing my voice.”
Losing by 50,000 votes was a close election. Yeah. In her mind.
Most of the time being a Veep is a nothing job, but when the guy at the top of the ticket is senile and would have to be removed during his term of office, this would be the chance for ol’ Stacey to waddle into the Oval Office. Lord help us if that would happen.
I think it would be harder for an unattractive person to be elected to such a high office. But then take a look at Nancy.
Jerrold (Jabba the Hut) Nadler and any eight members of the Congressional Black Caucus are proof Donks don’t care about looks. And then there’s that very essence of sanity and restraint, party chair Tom Perez….

if that happens I will be looking for Jimmy and his koolaid. I’m gonna have to get outa here somehow.
Run Stacy, run. Maybe you will get to 285 finally.
Off topic. I would like to nominate this person for AOTW. Looks like a real winner.

You would think that instead of picking a woman to run as vp Biden would pick the most qualified candidate..
If that happens to be a woman so be it,, if not,, so be it.
Abrams can’t win her own district so why would she even be considered?
She be a gap-toofed tax’n’spend Aunt Jemima who think evahthang bad be done by ol’ white mans, an’ whut dis place need is a phat Big Mama to set thangs rat.
But, as with DingleBarry, Amfricans would vote for her outta simple ethnic loyalty, believing that she’d ultimately become PotUS and bring the “reparations” they want, even if nobody in their entire fambly history (just like Soetoro) was ever slave.
Can’t verify it, ‘cuz you can’t believe stuff you read on the ‘net, but there’s been a lotta noise about her having a 6-figure credit card debt and owing the IRS a whole bunch (which she allegedly set up a program to pay down slowly).
Cultural enrichment, anyone?
She does have the credit card debt and does owe the IRA money in back taxes.
The IRA? How did the lrish get into this? Inquiring minds want to know!
Oooops! I meant the IRS.
Not happening.
Be honest, at least with yourself.
I know it’s not happening. Abrams Tank is a legend in her own mind.
Both are widely known for kneecapping people.
Bocopro ,
If the second most famous black woman a gap-toofed tax`n`spend Aunt Jemima is acceptable for consideration as a VP candidate by anyone …..Just how acceptable is the most famous black woman Mother F—-r ? No it is not Moose- shell !
Having a six figure credit card debt & owing the IRS a ton of money is just normal. Here in Erie we have a former City Council President Aunt Jemima who embezzled some $100,000 dollars in federal money , ran a scam operation worth an estimated $20/60,000,owes a ton in illegal money from welfare & spent every penny at the local Casino.
It is all recorded on tape, welfare records, State grant records,IRS investigations, Social Security records & personal checks drawn from her illegal welfare scam account which were cashed at the Casino. More then two years have gone by, despite being arrested , no trial date has been set yet …..Local betting is if enough time goes by the problem can be forgiven.
Being a black woman & a democrat in a town controlled by democrats since 1963 seems to be her defense
The Tank makes me gag. That said, I predict Plugs will choose a black woman for VP so keep your eye on Val Demings (D) Florida. Demings is the former chief of police of Orlando, her husband, Jerry, is the former chief of OPD and current mayor of Orange County, Florida.
Demings’ assignments include Homeland Security, Judiciary, and Intelligence. She is attractive, was part of the “slow walk” impeachment delivery, and is anti-gun.
Val Demings is being quietly groomed either for Plugs’ replacement or 2024 and is a political danger to our country.
Plugs done screwed when he set racial and gender standards for his pick. As I understand it, no Federal job choice can be predicated on such considerations, therefore any such job offer is illegal and in doin’ so, Slow Joe is in violation of several Federal standards. One more reason for the Dems to rue the day they forced Bernie out.
Yeah, I really would’ve loved seein’ the Bernster as their nominee. Trump could’ve electorally stomped him into a mud puddle. As it is, whoever the “woman of color” is that he picks will forever be known as an affirmative action hire.
Hey Denny;
You see right after Brian Kemp announced that Georgia will start opening up, the first person that the news media went to was Abrams and her governship in exile for her opinion on what Kemp was doing wrong……Really? I am soo tired of having her visage shoved in my face by the news media.
“election irregularities and allegations of voter suppression”
Just goes to show that she can’t even win a rigged election.
To paraphrase a statement made when Bush picked Cheney as his VP
Abrams Tank would add ‘Gravit(y)as’ to Biden’s ticket….

Should have put it this way ‘Gravity-ass’
Not to worry about election irregularities, federal laws broken, taxes owed, campaign debts, etc etc.
Remember, she’s a dimocrat and Things are different when you are a dimocrat.
Laws don’t apply to you, morality is for conservatives, Lies are true and truth is a lie.
And the press just loves you in a slobbering endless lovefest.
Like I’ve been saying since she came onto the political stage…….”Fat black and liberal is no way to go through life”.
Bring it (her) on. If Biden had a chance to begin with, she will make sure that he doesn’t win.
Anyone who gets the Donks’ nomination is a sacrificial candidate. Bernie the Red? Fuhgeddaboudit. Liawatha Warren? Woulda been fun watching her up against Trump, but that novelty would soon wear thin once her serious lies get peddled. Which leaves us with hair-sniffin’, mumble-mouth sleazebag Groper Joe.
Seriously? After all that money spent trying to dethrone the king, and BIDEN is the best those sorry s-o-b’s could find?
As said: bring it on. Put those two together and instant defeat is guaranteed. But now, Biden says he’d take Moochelle of the Fat Ass as his VP. (*shudder*)
If that doesn’t keep us awake at night, nothing will.
It’s possible the Dems have already realized they will not win and will fervently push Plugs and Tank to clear the decks for 2024; gets rid of both problems.
as long as americans can make a better salary,
than the governorment can subsidize.
socialism will fail someone should tell AOCD
at least greta has an excuse
Been sayin’ to my friends that the VP spot is more important this time around, if Biden wins. If elected, he would not last for a four year term. He is the sacrifice, whether by eventual medical pronouncement of his inability to perform, or by sudden “unexpected” death.
