After a long absence from the political scene, expert political handicapper and 2008 presidential candidate Weekend Monkey* joins me as we look over Joe Biden's Vice Presidential running mate choices.
Rob: Well hello Monkey, it's good to have you back. What ever happened with that thing in Brazil, you know where you got drunk and groped the bar maid..?
WM: Thanks, I guess.It's been awhile and I have no intention of discussing that. All they did was throw me out of the country.
Rob: What were you doing there anyway?
WM: Look, I was thinking of running for Presidente for life, OK? Didn't work out.
Rob: It would have been interesting if it had. So let's get down to biz and look at who Biden's choices might be. Not that he's actually going to make the choice, (chuckle)
WM: You got that right. At this point I think somebody else picks out his socks!
Rob: OK, lets begin. Let's start with Kamala Harris. Monkey?
WM: Well she's a real possibility. Biden promised to pick a woman of color who's hair he liked the smell of, and she might be it. On the plus side, she's Lefty enough to appeal to the extreme Democrat Left, and let's face it, they're running the party now.
Rob: I think she's a good possibility but she has some problems. For one thing, she's not particularly bright, also she was involved in the criminal justice system as California's AG. She also comes across as rude and even somewhat nasty and then there's how she got into politics in the first place...
WM: Yeah, as Willie Brown's mattress even though he was married. Among Black Christians that would be a no no. I wonder if she still has that fancy BMW he bought her? I betcha he didn't pay for it!
Rob: Also, let's face it. California is in the bag for the Dems. I used to live there not so long ago and it's voter fraud heaven. She doesn't help the ticket in that respect. Also, let's face it. Biden is a figure head. He's going to do what the puppet masters tell him to do. Kamala seems to want to be a star and might not be so good at following orders. Agreed though, she's a definite possibility.
WM: Yeah, exactly. OK, let's move on. How 'bout Karen Bass?
Rob: Well, if people want to vote for an admitted commie who actually belonged to a Sandinista terrorist group, yeah, maybe. Also, she's not as good a speaker as Kamala. And she's another California Pol. She adds nothing to the ticket in that respect. She also really favors giving people money who were never slaves by taking it from people who never owned any and other radical ideas. Although she would probably be more controlable bythe puppet masters than Kamela.
WM: OK genius, who would you pick?
Rob: I'd say Susan Rice. She'll take orders, knows how to lie and the puppet masters probably see her as reminding people of the good old 'Obama Daze.' And uh, having Gravitas...(laughs out loud)...
WM: (Laughs out loud)....'Gravitas'!!!
Rob: Yeah (chuckles) that's how they'll present it. But she has some weak points too. For one thing, she openly lied about Benghazi and for another, she was directly involved in the Obama Administrations attempt to use the FBI and CIA to game the FISA courts so they could spy on the Trump campaign in 2016. She was also involved in them deliberately setting up General Flynn. That will almost certainly come out. Also, I'm not sure she's openly radical enough for the Dem Left, although she certainly does hate Israel and probably Jews to a sufficient degree. I think she's going to be the one, especially because she suddenly sold off all of her Netflix stock, a move she would probably not make unless something was coming her way that required it.
WM: HMMMM.....I hadn't heard that. Yeah, she's a possibility. My money's still on Kamala. Let's move on....
Rob: Okay, what about your old flame, Fake-a-Hontus?
WM: Lizzy Warren? Ah, those were the days.
Rob: Are you two still friends?
WM: WHAT!! After she dumped me and fired me? Nah. But she might just be the one. She's a real far Lefty and does have a following...but after not even winning the primary in her home state of Massachusetts, I dunno. She's also a good speaker, although she come across as kinda mean. But let's be honest. The fake Native American shtick really hurt her, and besides, she's white, and I don't see her carrying any states for Biden he isn't going to get anyway. I'd say she's a maybe at best.
Rob: OK, although I think the bitter memories of your relationship with her are maybe affecting your judgement?
WM: Maybe. She broke my monkey heart. if she does get it, I have some pictures I'm going to forward to the press...very interesting pictures....
Rob: What about Tammy Duckworth? I doubt Illinois will be a problem for the Dems as long as they can can mysteriously keep coming up with more Democrat votes to count in Chicago. But she does have that war veteran thing going for her. Although considering the slovenly way she ran the VA during the Obama years, that likely won't help with Vets although it's still a selling point to the yokels.
WM: She's a possible, but she has some drawbacks. Like you say, Illinois will probably go Dem for the reasons you mentioned. Also, she's not black, a lot of black voters don't particularly like Asians, and her mom was Thai. But that might also bring some Asian votes. She also was sued and had to settle a case with employees of the VA when she terminated one employee without cause and threatened and intimidated another for bringing reports of abuse and misconduct of veterans when she was head of the VA. If that comes out and is used, well....who knows.
Rob: Val Demmings?
WM: Well she'd be interesting, except that she was the former chief of police in Orlando, Florida. BLM and Antifa no like.Plus she's not radical enough. Reeeeal long shot, pal.
Rob: Stacey Abrams? I'd call her a real long shot.
WM: And a real heavy one, ah hah hahahahah! Plus she isn't the kind to take orders. Anybody else?
Rob: What about the Black female mayors?
WM: Keisha Bottoms had a shot but she caught corona virus. As for the others, when people take a look at how places like San Francisco and Chicago are being run, faggetaboutit
Rob: Okay, no odds but name your top three choices. Mine are Susan Rice, Kamala Harris, and Karen Bass, ot necessarily in that order.
WM: I'd say Kamala, Lizzy, and maybe Susan Rice as a long shot.
Rob: Well Weekend monkey, interesting as always. Are you going to do a prediction of the election?
WM: Yeah, I probably will. See you then.
