True, but so what? Nobody thinks Vance was chosen for his qualifications. Why does it matter that Kamala was VP to appeal to a demographic but not matter that Vance was chosen for the same reason?

What demographic is Vance appealing to that Trump doesn't?????   I mean, you can simply look at Biden and KamalaToe and see what demographics she was chosen for.  And let's not forget there are a number of people on this forum who don't believe KamalaToe was chosen for demographic purposes.  It's been argued for the last week plus right here.

I think Trump picked Vance to appeal to working class whites in the rust belt and middle America. It was a stupid pick because 1) he’s already got that demographic and 2) Vance’s resume is awfully thin.

Are you actually arguing that JD was picked for his qualifications?

I have no idea why he was picked and, by your own admission, neither do you.  We both DO know why Kameltoe was picked.  Your comparison of the two is flawed.

The point is that she was vastly more qualified than Vance based on her resume, so the DEI hire thing is just deriding her because she’s a black woman.

The selection of Vance has no appeal beyond the MAGA base and will not bring one undecided voter to Trump (it was a poorly thought out decision).

Every left leaning minority politician is a “DEI hire,” according to the GC. I don’t see what difference it makes why Biden picked her. Every VP gets picked in large part for political and demographic reasons.

Harris wasn’t chosen entirely because she’s black and a woman. She was definitely chosen in part for those reasons. And yes: So what? VPs always get picked for reasons that don’t have to do with their qualifications.

DEI and no other reason.

WashingtonCNN — 

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden said Monday he was considering four Black women to be his running mate, and has been receiving extensive vetting briefings about each potential candidate.

“I am not committed to naming any (of the potential candidates), but the people I’ve named, and among them there are four Black women,” Biden told MSNBC’s Joy Reid on “The ReidOut.”

I never said you were one of those GC members who defaults to “DEI hire.”  

DEI hire is when a minority gets appointed even in part for their race or gender. When a white person gets the same job for any non qualifications based reason it’s just “politics.”

Yes, and quite often to bring some perceived balance to the ticket, such as when Obama chose Joe Biden.

Similar to how Biden wasn't even really the best candidate to be president, he was just the best option to beat Trump, since he was tied to Obummer. 

in 2016, Trump had no real qualifications. He wasn't a politician. But I am curious what Kamala's actual qualifications are. She failed when she tried to run on her own, right? Like failed miserably. So what she has is 4 years of association with the Biden administration. What did she accomplish in those 4 years? As someone who doesn't eat sleep and breathe politics, I know Joe Biden and can talk about his accomplishments and (mostly) failures but I really can't speak of or think of anything Kamala has to run on. 

Will she just point to everything Joe did as she was along for the ride? How will she spin it to make it seem like she had anything to do with the positives without making it seem like Joe wasn't really even running the show? How will she detach herself from the negatives? 

She won't spin anything.  The MSM is acting as the Praetorian guard and protecting her.  She's new, fresh, joyous, enthusiastic, unburdened by what has been in her past career or time in the Biden/Harris administration.  Unless it was a good thing.

I don't blame her for going Hopey Changey 2.0 in the spirit of Saint Barack, but I wish we had a functioning Fourth Estate who would push her for why, for instance, she's going to solve the border crisis when she was the border czar for 4 years and was an abject failure.  Or how she was the last voice in the room on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
