The
following post is an opinion of Budowsky, an aide to previous Senator Lloyd
Bentsen and prior Rep. Bill Alexander, who served as chief deputy majority whip
of the House of Reps:
‘If
former VP Joe Biden is nominated by Dems to run for president in the year 2020,
his perfect running mate as VP nominee would be Michelle Obama, former first
lady, one of the most admired figures within the nation.
A
Biden-Obama ticket would provide a compelling, inspirational, and powerful
vision of America to a world and nation that is enduring the debilitating
fatigue of a bitterly preternaturally deceitful and most divisive president who
ever has been in the White House.
A
historic Biden-Obama ticket, both of whom are widely trusted and liked by
voters and almost universally known, could inspire and lead this nation. Budowsky
sees an America that’s lifted up and brought together by leaders who are seeking
simple justice, national unity, improved health care and more economic
opportunities for all and not just a few. He sees a world in which democracy
flourishes and leaders of America stand with a free world that is united by shared
interests, common visions, unshakable alliances, and democratic values.
A
Joe Biden and Michelle Obama ticket could champion an America which promotes
big dreams and honors big truths. They’d build on the accomplishments of a
highly regarded Dem president and provide a leadership of enlightened
patriotism, as well as an appealing and powerful contrast to a president who
treats most fellow Americans as enemies, treats most foreign dictators as
friends, as well as treats American military assistance to allies underneath
attack as weapons to blackmail or bribe them into fabricating dirt against his
political opponents in America.’
