Susan Rice’s ‘Benghazi baggage,’ F-bombs would make her ‘lightning rod’ as Biden VP pick, writer claims

Former national security adviser Susan Rice would be a “human lightning rod” if selected to be Democrat Joe Biden’s running mate, a Washington Post columnist wrote Friday.

Rice, who is reported to be among the shrinking list of Biden vice presidential contenders, has the advantage of a longstanding close relationship with the former vice president, unlike any of the other names on the list.

But Biden’s want for “familiarity and comfort” are luxuries the nation doesn’t have time for in this singular time of crisis, Post columnist Dana Milbank writes.

Despite Rice’s impressive resume — Rhodes scholar, Oxford, U.N ambassador, national security adviser — she has serious Benghazi baggage and a polarizing ability to make fast enemies. She had to withdraw from consideration as former President Barack Obama’s secretary of state because she was unlikely to get the Senate confirmation votes, Milbank writes.

If she joined the Biden ticket, Milbank writes, she would be a distraction for the Democrats in a time when voters want calm — and would be an easy target for Republicans. keep reading

  1. sitting behind a group of black folks in the local Bob Evans the other day … the conversation was mostly about trying to do Church services in Lockdown Larryland. almost spit my Farmer’s Choice breakfast out when they started saying that the pastors were recommending …. you guessed it …. Susan Rice for Biden’s VP … seeing that she’ll be president when Joe is declared unfit

    I know it’s anecdotal … but forewarned is forearmed

  2. Yes, but if Biden/Rice win, then Biden dies (he didn’t kill himself) and she has Obama’s and Hillary’s flanks.

    If you were either Obama or Hillary, would you choose her?

  3. I just realize who would be the absolutely PERFECT choice for Joey’s running shuffling mate. She’s a woman of color, with incredibly good name recognition, is liked and respected by all demographic groups, and she’s currently not otherwise engaged and so instantly available. Aunt Jemima.

  6. Let’s hope dopy Joe holds on for another month or so. I don’t mean to wish anything bad to anyone, but let’s hope the dumb-ass DNC allows this to go along for another month or so and then he suddenly turns into a puddle of incoherent gibberish, putting their entire plan into a tizzy. At that point anyone they try to prop up will be easy pickings for President Trump to make a fool of leading up to election day.
    PS – I LOVE typing President Trump.
