I know, I know, this will never happen. I can hear you typing your caustic replies even as I compose this diary. But …
What if Joe would graciously accept the vice presidency, with Kamala sliding into the top spot? He gets to keep his dignity (which he richly deserves) and gets to continue letting her evolve into the post, gets to keep doing whatever mentoring he might be doing (just guessing about that).
Meanwhile, whoever (according to Joy Reid) is trying to get Kamala out can go pound sand.
So I apologize for the short diary but, if this is at all practical, I think it would solve a multitude of problems. You can list out all the wonderful benefits of the idea in your comments. Or, you can call me a dope. It won’t be the first time.
