Surprised Farrow is doing this, as he's also a liberal democrat who knows this will help Trump. Unless he hopes that it gets the power brokers to shove Biden aside and put Michelle Obama in there, who I don't think we'd have a prayer against.

Agree, she would mop the floor with Trump, but she isn't running. Full stop.
Sleeper pick for VP is Susan Rice though......

Nobody is worried about Susan Rice. I hope you're right about Michelle, and I do think you're right. Man I hope so.
I'm still thinking Warren, I think it needs to be somebody the Bernie progressives can get behind.

Really, African-American woman that moderate democrats can support? Seems in-line with Biden. I don't think he goes for Warren, but maybe. I hope he doesn't go for Abrams, too untested on the national stage.

I agree she's in line with Biden. But I was thinking, and I could well be wrong, that he needs someone who the progressive wing will like, because they don't like him, they wanted Bernie, and if Bernie supporters stay home like many did in 2016, he can't win. But Warren isn't going to win over any independents in swing states, but who knows if VPs ever do that.
From my perspective I would love if he picked Abrams as I think she'd prove to be very Sara Palin-like. State legislature to VP is a huge leap as you said.
It will be an interesting choice. Depends on which boxes they think are most important to check off.

I'm sure it will be Biden, unless he deteriorates to the point where he has to step aside. He's fading fast.

So she is working with Ronan Farrow to disprove her claim. Makes all kinds of sense.
Again, how do YOU know how it will end? Amazingly, you always know more than what's reported, and also amazingly, your additional knowledge always makes it more favorable to the left.

You posted this a few minutes ago: 'What will you say when the story isn't what you've predected'
How do you know my prediction (whatever that was) will be wrong?
You deny this hurts Biden, you deny this makes the left look like hypocrites on this issue? You say so!

It is amazing that you claim to know the rest of the story and that the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women. Quite the opposite of what you claim the truth to be. Or is your story taking a new spin?

When did I claim to know anything that's not public knowledge? I guess I'm speculating that Reade didn't agree to work with him for the intent of bashing her credibility. I think that's a safe bet.
'the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women."
When did I say anything like that?

Only one part of what you claim can be true
Part A I'm speculating that Reade didn't agree to work with him for the intent of bashing her credibility.
Part B the only story Ronan is willing to tell is that men abuse women."When did I say anything like that?

Please post where I said that Farrow will only write about men busing women. Let's start with that. I never said anything remotely close to that. Maybe you got bitchslapped one too many times?
You are making stuff up out of thin air, because you cannot respond to reality.

i said, in this case, chances are Reade brought him in to help tell her story. I said nothing about the rest of farrows career.
so when i sat it’s unlikely Reade brought Farrow in to torpedo her, somehow you took that to mean that Farrows entire career is blaming men? i’m talking about this story, this one story.
my god man. you don’t think it’s possible for me to say he’s probably siding with the woman on this one story, but his career is defined by writing many different stories? why is it all or nothing? that’s how giy are with everything, trump is always wrong, anyone who agrees with him once is a trumplican.

It may turn out she made up the whole thing because the Koch brothers paid her to do so. But how do you already know that it's not just what she says?
