We’ve already heard from the previous Democratic nominee for president that its a direct threat to our democracy to refuse to respect the results of an election, but there was Hillary Clinton in March telling a crowd that Stacey Abrams should be governor of Georgia, “leading that state right now.” Abrams famously refused to concede and still maintains the election was stolen through voter suppression.

It’s no secret that Joe Biden is very likely to announce Abrams as his running mate right out of the gate, although CNN’s reporting Thursday that Biden might not announce until late April. Still, Erick Erickson is looking at a Biden/Abrams ticket, and there’s a lot of baggage.

The problem for Biden choosing Abrams is that he’ll immediately be tied to someone who has expressed contempt for farmers, supported gun confiscations, and says illegal aliens should be allowed to vote. — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) March 21, 2019

But Democrats are all those things, though they hold coal miners in contempt even more than farmers. However, Biden will be entering the race as the most “centrist” of the serious players — can he draw in hardcore progressives with Abrams on the ticket? Let’s hope not.

Leave ‘em alone. It’ll be fun to watch. — Mr. Cain (@pcain89) March 21, 2019

So in other words, Republicans should encourage this decision. — Left Wing Watch (@loonleftwatch) March 21, 2019

I’m not sure I see the problem — Shelby (@smellyman59) March 21, 2019

And that’s bad because…? — The General (@GrayChevyVan) March 21, 2019

It reeks of desperation. @EWErickson correct me if I’m wrong, but it reminds me of when Ted Cruz picked Carly Fiorina for Vp in order to beat Trump. — Jeremy “Dual Loyalties” Frankel (@FrankelJeremy) March 21, 2019

Yep — Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) March 21, 2019

He'll choose her for her intersectionality score, not her ideas. That's how the left votes now. — Antonio Martinez (@djtechchicago) March 21, 2019

And refused to lose gracefully and thinks Identity politics is awesome. — Lisa Thompson (@Bucs06) March 21, 2019

And has proven that she won't accept an unfavorable outcome to an election. I say, "Go for it Joe. It would make @realDonaldTrump a shoe in for 4 more years." — Wolverine (@atchjs) March 21, 2019

How would she handle defeat, better than before? — Hannah Brown (@hlb54) March 21, 2019

Please let them hook up. Trump will win 48 states. — Georgia Boy (@dragonfire2016) March 21, 2019

Do it , Joey! — Chris Dickens (@dickensbuilder) March 21, 2019

Please let this happen. Some of us like watching slow motion train wrecks. — Dirty Weasel Media (@thedirtyweasel) March 21, 2019

She is a terrible choice — SL (@slaurie526) March 21, 2019

She’s a terrible choice! — Ladybird (@ladybirdmama198) March 21, 2019

Perfect choice…if you vote Republican. Or, even think of it! — Tim Smith (@tahoetim14) March 21, 2019

Clearly he’s desperate already. — Darrin Thibault (@RaynhamPatriot) March 21, 2019

This would be a dumb move showing a short-sided, trying to be opportunistic candidate who will look every bit of 75 yrs old as a stand-alone candidate. — Midwestern Views (@MidwestViews) March 21, 2019

Lol. In other words, he’ll undercut the whole point of his candidacy: a return to normalcy. — Nick M (@NickAtNight128) March 21, 2019

Yep.

Good. Biden was actually beginning to look like a reasonable adult with maturity and good judgement. Choosing her will disabuse voters of that fallacy quickly. — Kevin Gibson (@KevinGi62453362) March 21, 2019

That would be a hige mistake for Biden! What will help him in primary would lose the general! — Steven Turner (@sbturner019) March 21, 2019

He's floating her as a trial balloon and to build his liberal bona-fides. I doubt she'll end up being his pick if he ends up getting the nomination. — G.M. Fyden (@TheCopyGhost) March 21, 2019

But the CNN crowd loves her, so she'll have plenty of media support. — Paul Ladd (@PaulLadd1) March 21, 2019

Not to mention, we will get to hear another round of baseless Trump/Russia collusion accusations. — Problematic bot (@always_on_hold) March 21, 2019

Those positions are far less unthinkable in today’s Democatic party than they once were. — Buck Leahy (@BuckLeahy) March 21, 2019

Sadly, yes.

Who in the Democrat party does not believe in all of that? — jayjar (@JimJarvis3) March 21, 2019

That's the planks in the Democrat platform! How could he resist? — Daniel K. Richards (@DetroitDan64) March 21, 2019

I say, choose her!! Its a Win-Win for Trump. ? — DRLantini (@DLantini) March 21, 2019

Do it .. easy win for trump — LAND THAT I LOVE USA (@thefreemasons50) March 21, 2019

Joe has always spent his entire career being on the wrong side of everything. Floating Abram’s name is just one more forced error. I love it!? — Mint (@Babbas70) March 21, 2019

she'll deck him if he tries to grope her too. — Paddy O'Furniture (@jmrwest) March 21, 2019

Good point. Biden’s going to be desperate to know how her hair smells.
