So now we're in the run-up to South Carolina. While Joe Biden performed well with African-American voters in Nevada, he needs to do something to shake things up.
We cats suggest he announce his running mate this week.
We've always been in favor of this, even back when the polls had him ahead and he was scaring the bejesus out of Benedict Donald (who then went on to commit impeachable offenses because of it). Biden's age, we thought, should compel him to name a running mate, pledge to serve only one term, and then hand things off to his veep as his heir presumptive.
Now that the cranky socialist from Vermont is proving equally frightening — to us, not to Trump — it's time for Joe to act. Call a press conference and make the big announcement with either Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams or Cory Booker at his side.
It would give him a shot in the arm and blow the Bernie-is-scary narrative off the front (home) pages. And while Harris, in particular, seemed poised to endorse him weeks ago, she and Booker come from states Democrats will already carry in the fall. So our preference is Stacey Abrams. That would make us PURR.
P.S. Biden's fellow 78-year-old, Mike Bloomberg, could do this as well. Just sayin'.
