My Pick: Biden-Sinema

Krysten Lea Sinema. Born July 12, 1976 Tucson, Arixona

My advice to Joe Biden for his Vice Presidential pick?

Kyrsten Sinema, the senior U.S. Senator from Arizona.

Why Sinema? Because by doing so he will make her a star within the Party. Her elevation to prominence this way will make her a natural favorite to head the Democratic ticket in 2024 or later. If Biden doesn't pick her, she might have to wait until a later election. It will be more difficult for her.

Sinema will not deliver Arizona to Biden. Picking her will actually help Republican Senator Martha McSally in her re-election bid. But all that is beside the point. Biden is going to get blown out hard in the Electoral College, and probably lose the Popular Vote by a healthy margin, and take the Democratic Party with him. The Democrats have all but assured themselves of this. Donald Trump knew exactly how to play them to get them to commit Party suicide. Sane Democrats should want this result  and look forward to it.

Note that I have poor track record of guessing the VP picks from the nominee, so I don't expect Biden will pick Sinema.   It's more difficult to forecast the decision of a single individual, than an entire state, or a collection of fifty states and the District of Columbia.

The other possible choices for Biden are disasters. Warren will bring momentary enthusiasm but no additional votes. Harris is toxic, a guaranteed and proven loser. Susan Rice may go to prison. Biden will probably pick one of those. Any other choices would be a Ferraro-like joke, a person with no future in the party.

Biden is going to lose the black vote anyway, at least in the sense of how much he needs to win it. At least a third will vote for Trump. Biden might as well go down with glory by deciding who the leader of the party will be going forward.

Sinema is native Arixonan (not a good track record for these folks in national elections but so be it). She's Frisian. That's super cool.

She was born during the Bicentennial month of July 1976. If there is anything America will need going forward, I think it is some Bicentennial-type energy, especially coming from a rebulit-from-the-ground-up Democratic Party after this coming election. Obama and all his cronies will be purged. The Democrats will finally be sick of them, which we be great for the country. .

Personally I'm psyched for the U.S. Sestercentennial!

Or shall it be the U.S. Quarter Millennial?

Will it be Mike Pence or Kyrsten Sinema celebrating at Mount Rushmore?
