    I think so. It'd be extremely smart. The big cities in the Northern battleground states are full of black voters that didn't show up to vote for Hillary. The states were lost by the DNC (Hillary) by a combined <100K votes.

    Plus, Obama-Biden was a perfect 2-0, undefeated. Why not a Biden-Obama redux? Plus, Biden has already said he wants a woman, and a younger moderate one (Warren isn't in the mix lol) and preferably a minority, so wouldn't this make perfect sense?

    that would basically be the equivalent of laying down your king when you're up in material halfway through the chess game.

    She won the popular vote and lost due to the Electoral College system being the way it is. That's it, and that's all.

    It's like when Dak Prescott and the Cowboys out-gain the other team by 200 yards and still lose because of special teams or turnovers or other crap. It happens.

    Suggesting the system needs to be overhauled so that ultra-blue states like CA and NY with huge populations should be able to bilaterally take over the country is like suggesting the NFL needs to change the rules such that if you gain more yards than your opponent then you should automatically be granted the victory. Both are equally stupid.

    I disagree with the Cowboys analogy, but everything about NY and CA is on point.

    What is wrong with my football analogy? Tell me. It's beautiful and spot-on.

    Hillary had everything in her back pocket including tenure and a husband who was POTUS for 2 consecutive terms. All of the intelligence agencies and Media combined with Google,Facebook,Twitter etc.. couldn't get her in to office. Nothing akin to a special teams blunder or a turnover. Hillary is not Dak Prescott fighting against all odds.

    how exactly do the states take over the country? every person's vote counts the same regardless of whether they live in Texas or Pennsylvania... California or Virginia.

    it would also remove the "winner take all" approach, here right now if you lose CA 61-31 like trump did, the dems get 100% of those electoral votes, whereas in a popular vote, you still get credit for all the votes you got.

    I doubt Biden picks Hillary after the things she said about other dems. I'd instead see him picking one of the other candidates, maybe Warren. If he wants the black vote he'll pick Kamala Harris or Booker.

    It’s going to be Klobuchar or someone who can get him Hispanic, female and / or young voters. He’s already got the black and boomer votes

    Please. Dak has two top 15 receivers, the best OL in the league, and the highest paid running back in the league. Dak is not fighting against all odds.

    Shillary had all that, but she also had tons of past history of her lying, war mongering, and engaging in covert ops. And shilling for Wall Street kept the Berners at home on Election night, especially in the states that mattered that she lost by 5 digits in.

    He definitely won't pick Warren. Too old and progressive. Harris is a glaring possibility and my family & I absolutely hate her (complete snake in the grass). Gabbard would be best case scenario.

    Buttigieg overperformed in the early primaries and does uber well with the young white hippie vote. And he might as well be a woman since he likes the cawk.

    It gives the larger/more populous states way too much control and authority over the country and who is in power. If you are a minority voter (red voter in a blue state / blue voter in a red state) and upset about your vote being good-for-nothing, you have every right to relocate at your own will, ideally to a purple state where your opinion will be maximized.

    There's a good reason the Senate has always been considered the Upper Chamber / more respected chamber of Congress, not the House.

    States don’t vote. Individual American citizens do. But you’re ok with peoples votes mattering more or less depending on where they live geographically. We just disagree there
