I like Soft Top and I think he has done a pretty decent job, especially in the area of foreign policy where he has rebuilt alliances and restored respect in America from our allies. BUT, he made a colossal mistake picking Kammie as his VP.
He was supposed to be a one-termer, the steady veteran who would restore sanity to the Presidency after 4 years of that menace of a raging lunatic Thruster. After his term he should have passed the baton to his heir apparent, the VP. But Kammie is (IMO) unelectable, she's extremely unpopular. I think he made his original decision based on her 5 good minutes in a debate at his expense, plus she is a black woman, which would appease the identity politics crowd, plus she's basically center-left. But it hasn't worked out, and the Dems are stuck and don't have anybody else in the on-deck circle. So Joe is running again, even though he's clearly too old.
It didn't play out that way. He didn't all of his own just come up with Coconut Valley Girl. It was a corner he painted himself into, publicly, in slow motion.
In the primary, he was the hair-sniffing creep who pal'd around with Segregationists and had his hands uncomfortably close to young female children's nipples in Senate photos when he was Obama's VP.
To shore up support/enthusiasm among he made a promise his VP wouldn't be a white man.
That basically left Loretta Lynch, Susan Rice, Catherine Cortez-Masto, a couple House crackpots like Maxine Waters, Corinne Brown, and The Squad - some of whom weren't even age-eligible, and some people from Georgia like Keisha Lance Bottoms and Stacey Abrams.
Only a couple of those names are remotely plausible for a VP pick. Lynch I don't think even got a call, CCM noped the F out, Susan Rice said something the GOP didn't like on a Sunday show about Benghazi so that was the end of the world at the time, and the only person left standing was Coconut Valley Girl.
