Stacey Abrams: Sure, I’ll Take the VP Slot in 2020, but I Really Want to be President One Day
“I want to do good, and there is no stronger platform than president of the United States. And that’s a position I want to one day hold.”
Say what you will about Stacey Abrams. She may have failed in her 2018 bid to become governor of Georgia, but it certainly didn’t damage her sense of self-esteem.
She is planning a presidential run in the future, but in the meantime, she’s happy to accept an offer to be vice president. She made the comments during a recent appearance on The View.
Quinn Scanlan reports at ABC News:
Stacey Abrams ‘absolutely’ wants to run for president one day, but says she’d accept a VP slot in 2020
Stacey Abrams, the former Georgia gubernatorial candidate who’s now focusing on tackling voter suppression head on, said she “absolutely” sees herself running for president one day, but for the 2020 cycle, she “would be honored” to run for vice president with whoever the Democratic nominee is.
“Why should we not want someone to have the power to fix the problems and the brokenness that we have?” Abrams told the hosts of ABC’s “The View.” “I want to do good, and there is no stronger platform than president of the United States. And that’s a position I want to one day hold.”
There’s been a lot of veep buzz around Abrams, who served as minority leader in the Georgia House of Representatives. She said if asked, she would join the Democratic ticket — but added that no one has asked her, yet.
“It would be doing a disservice to every woman of color, every woman of ambition, every child who wants to think beyond their known space for me to say no or to pretend, ‘Oh, no, I don’t want it,'” she said. “Of course I want it. Of course I want to serve America. Of course I want to be a patriot and do this work.”

During the same appearance, Abrams joined her fellow Democrats in complaining about the Electoral College, then went on to explain how she could end the institution by going around the United States Constitution.
Kristine Marsh reports at NewsBusters:
Stacey Abrams Tells Eager ‘View’ She’d ‘Go Around Constitution’ to End ‘Racist’ Electoral College
The media is still pathetically pining over Stacey Abrams. Last week on The View, co-host Whoopi Goldberg eagerly asked Joe Biden if he would make the failed gubernatorial candidate, his VP pick. On Monday’s show, the hosts petitioned Abrams herself to run, not just for VP, but also for president…
Co-host Sunny Hostin wanted to hear more about how how our electoral system is racist. After asking Abrams how she would fix the Iowa caucus, she asked the following:
“One more question. You’ve called the electoral college a racist and classist system. Can you just break it down in the way, you know how to?”
After she argued it was an antiquated racist system that we needed to get rid of, Joy Behar complained she would have a hard time with Republicans in power. Amazingly, Abrams calmly explained how the left could “jerry rig the system and go around the Constitution” by using the popular vote, because they “didn’t have time,” to make a Constitutional amendment. This question was edited out of the aired show but The View’s Twitter account promoted it online.

Gotta stop whining first, Stacey.
Stacey has held a few too many triple-decker cheeseburgers. With a extra large order of spicy jojo’s with ranch dressing. And a triple chocolate milkshake to tide her over ’til dinner.
WORSE YET!
Stacy is not “accomplished!”
What has she accomplished for taxpayers that was not “give a way freebie?”
Oh my.
DNC Totally Rigged!
Stacy will do whatever the DNC tells her.
“Bernie Stands Alone – All Other Candidates Agree to Let The Club Pick The Democrat Nominee…”
“It was the final question in a wild and furious Democrat debate last night: “If no candidate earns the majority of delegates how should a nominee be chosen?” Should the candidate with the most delegates be selected as the nominee?
Every candidate on stage -except Bernie Sanders- stated the private Club rules should determine the nominee at the DNC convention in Wisconsin; regardless of who comes to the convention with the highest number of delegates. Bernie Sanders position is that whoever has the highest number of votes and earned delegates should be the nominee…..”

I can understand why she whines, it starts with looking in the mirror each morning, and that horror is compounded when as she interacts with other people it gradually sinks in that she is virtually always dumbest person present.
I’ll bet the local Chamber of Commerce will be looking for a president someday.
Being the president of Weight Watchers would have all sorts of benefits for her.
Or, Company Corporation, Inc, will plug her into a VP in Charge of Diversity Outreach in order to placate both the social justice whiners, and the EEOC, not to mention the snivel rights division of the Justice Department.
Good for you. Nice of you to share your stupid little dreams with us. Have another donut and tell us how hard your life is.
She’s certainly having an impact as Governor of Georgia…
I wanna see Bloomberg pick her as his VP candidate, and then he could wear a little leather helmet and ride on her back, and it would be the MASTER-BLASTER! ticket. (she’s 3 times his size)
and of course Trump would have to be Mel Gibson.
Isn’t she one of those fat-assed horse faced lesbians Warren reminded us of the other day?
Hers is hardly a horse-face. It is more like a Moon Pie with icing used to form the facial features.
Yep, and I’d like to be the King of England someday, and I think we have roughly the same chances.
We’ve already had one too many AA presidents as it is. Man, do I hope the country has learned that lesson.
Alcoholics Anonymous?
Not wanting to insult her, but it is difficult to get elected president of the US when you are fat, ugly and stupid.
There have been 5 overweight presidents, all of which were before the age of TV.. Taft (42.3 on the BMI), Cleveland (34.6), McKinley (31.1), Taylor (30.2), and Teddy Roosevelt (30.2).
You forgot Trump
Not fat, pleasantly plump, not even obese sand the hardest working President ever
Trump Washington Lincoln
LOL, relax. Joe’s post was all about BMI so I’m merely pointing out that Trump’s is also above 30. I know because I’m also 6’3″ and I weigh about ten pounds more than he does… I hear my doctor jabber about it every year.
Betcha “Paul” is a big fat commie slob.
Bet I’d kick your punk ass if you called me that to my face, bitch.
Sure you would, slob.
Thanks for the confirmation though. It was an excellent guess on my part.
For the record, I’m taller than you, and not fat. And trained.
I tell my Doctor that there are so many diseases where among the first symptoms are loss of weight that I feel I’m exuding an extreme healthiness.
When I start losing weight when I’m not trying is when I’ll start worrying about my weight.
Watch this happen; you will no longer get non emergency health care unless you lose weight. Think not? Take a look at other national healthcare operations. I wouldn’t mind if they could guarantee weight loss with a particular diet and exercise regimen. However I suffer from arthritis. Now how am I going to be able to exercise enough and often enough with that?
I am what I am.
In those days, heft meant success. They also had more going for them than weight. If weight itself equaled intelligence then she would be well off… but it isn’t.
Teddy wasn’t really fat!
During the 1912 election (the 3-way between TR, Taft, and Wilson), Teddy was speaking at a rally when he was shot by a would-be assassin. He proceeded to finish his speech, with the open bullet wound in his chest for the whole crowd to see, before finally letting himself be taken to a hospital. A doctor credited his survival to his being “a remarkable physical specimen”.
She is elsie faye higgins / Terryll bolton stupid. Those of you familiar with Dallas texas politics will recognize those two individuals who were several bricks short of a full load. Stacy Abrams makes those two look smart
She reminds me of Diana Moon Glampers.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harrison_Bergeron
She is Diane Ragsdale stupid.
This what too much focus on children’s self esteem gets ya. This woman is an adult? Yikes.
Yelp.
That’s what screwed Hilary.
Her mommy (Hilary’s report) told her she could be anything and everything she wanted to be. She could be something different evey day. (Taken from NYT reports, as I recall.)
Ya’know, StaceyPig and Hillary are both Yale lawyers. Maybe Hillary will consider Stacey as her running “mate”.
I wonder if she ever got a room with Corey.
Says a like for Yale lawyers no?
Like: “Never hire as Yale Lawyer!!!!!!!!!!”
“lot” instead of “like.”
Hehe, it was understood. As it were, there are so many good graduates from Yale that I can kind of overlook the dregs, affirmative action snots and clueless dolts that flow through the system.
Glenn Reynolds is a Yalie… so, you see, some good manages to emanate from even the siftiest places ?
You have to feel sorry for the alumni no?
During the start of his first year as governor Bill was the graduation speaker at my college commencement.
You don’t know how many times I’ve given thanks that I didn’t shake his hand! Who knows where that hand had been!
See the totally insane black racist who thinks she should given the VP position and the President’s position!
Listen, fat…
At least she was fully employed while working at Tara
Then you’re 0 for 2, you fat, gap-toothed race baiter. 0 for 3 if you count Georgia.
the ultimate trifecta–black, ignorant, obese
Man, y’all mess up writing things like this. You sound like a racist snob. Who’s going to take your comments re her seriously with the taint you smudge? Just ugly.
Can any sentient person understand how this could be a discussion in America?
She is the result of Every Child an Honor Student, affirmative action, participation trophies, and race-normed test scores.
Someone throw a net over her–her delusions continue to get worse. Pretty soon she’ll be thinking she’s queen of the universe or something.
Has she paid off her debts yet? I’d expect she should due to the amount of bribe money she’s undoubtedly gotten.
How far our country has fallen that there are actually idiots out there who believe she’s worth a vote.
Glad I’m old. I wouldn’t want to be around if she was ever elected.
Of course it’d look like a version 2 of Idiocracy without the intelligence they displayed.
This bozo would like any slot. But no slot wants her.
None are big enough.
Maybe she needs to try Nevada. When I resided there, I saw all thee billboards advertising loose slots.
Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn.
Stacey Abrams plans to really boost voter turnout. Dead people will be voting for her long after she is dead herself. It’s part of her new plan to rig the system in her favor and call all challengers racist.
Just what the country needs — another pathological narcissist Dhimmi-crat, a career apparatchik brandishing her ethnicity and skin pigmentation as allegedly valid substitutes for a total paucity of private sector accomplishment, and, a plethora of ill-conceived, neo-communist socioeconomic schemes and the continued propagation of contrived and fallacious victimhood/grievance narratives.
Totalitarian twit, Abrams, is the predictably vile end result of intercourse between Idi Amin and Hillary Clinton.
This woman is proof that education in Ivy League schools does not equate to being smart, or even sane. She suffers from delusions of grandeur far beyond anything she is capable of.
What is with these people on the left that think just because we were stupid enough to elect one affirmative action candidate into the Presidency we will keep doing it? Though I guess it’s not any different than Brennan and the rest of the left to keep playing the lie about Russia, Russia, Russia, because they really have nothin’, nothin’, nothin’.
I doubt she got into Yale based on grades, LSAT, or other such things. She is likely a shining example of an AA admission.
Force Stacey and her back up group, the DEMS, to answer for this.

Imagine this butterball on one end of a see-saw? And michelle obama on the other?
Crack!
The very best position for Miss Stacey is being barefoot, black, and silent. Hard porcelain, ebony doll that she is. I’m sorry, I can’t stand the woman, in the same gnawing way I can’t stand E. Warren.
Go head, drill me two more root canals. I don’t deserve any xylocaine, I’m bad in my politics.
Sorry honey. There’s a certain look that the President of the US should have and you don’t.
Get those teeth fixed, lose some weight stop putting your hair up in those dooky braids or whatever and then try again. I won’t vote for you because you’re a dumb Democrat but you might have a chance otherwise.
Stacey, why you be appropriatin’ a white woman name? JS
“During the same appearance, Abrams joined her fellow Democrats in complaining about the Electoral College, then went on to explain how she could end the institution by going around the United States Constitution.
And B. Hussein Obama applauded.
Let’s send her to Communist China.
They don’t have any Electoral College there.
Thousands of business owners and corporate executives hear this and they realize now that they have to hire a marketing company/public relations firm to show the masses that they are doing the right thing, AND making a profit, even though they heard an economically illiterate politician tell them differently while pandering to a group of like-minded economic illiterates.
Stacy Abrams in her own words…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yh_aiJUtqy4&feature=share
Stacy Abrams’ summarized democrat response to President Donald Trump’s 2019 SUTU address to the nation, which emphasizes how her loss in November 2018 is a blessing to the great state of Georgia and in fact to this great nation, is as follows:
“The shutdown was a stunt engineered by the president of the United States,..”
“This administration cages children,” she said.
Abrams charged the White House with responding inadequately to school shootings and the rising costs of college tuition.
She said the Republican tax reform legislation Trump steered through a GOP-controlled Congress late in 2017 “rigged the system against working people.”
“Voter suppression is clear, from making it harder to register to vote to moving voting places,” she said. “We can no longer ignore these threats to democracy.”
Lawdy….
I her demented totalitarian Marxist dreams
Then earn it. moron.
Stacey Abrams’ ignorance is only surpassed by that of the woke morons hosting The View”.
Her “analysis” of the reasons for the creation of the electoral college is a real hoot.
Referencing the 3/5 compromise, Stacey stated that half of the population of the South was enslaved blacks. That was never true.
The black slave population of the south was actually 34% in 1790’s first official US census, and it remained between 33% and 34% for all subsequent censi from 1800-1860, until slavery was ended.
I’m certain that Ms. Abrams is also ignorant of the fact that 2% of the North’s population in 1790 was enslaved blacks!
The fact that this racist ignoramus is being pimped for a 2020 VP slot, and a future presidential run, is simply horrifying.
https://userpages.umbc.edu/~bouton/History407/SlaveStats.htm
Look at your own source. South Carolina had a black majority. And, unusually for lefties, she got it right. The southern states wanted to count slaves but not let them vote, or as she put it, count their bodies but not their souls. The northern states didn’t want them counted at all. 3/5 was the compromise.
For fun we should all tell Stacey that we will vote for her IF she gets her weight up to FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS!
She can do it, but we won’t.
Who was that guy … oh yeah, it was Steven Tyler … “Dream on”!
She does have “gravitas”.
As if we needed any more proof the DipShitDems are F**King Crazy, this POS comes out of her snake hole to Vomit once again.
Okay, who asked Stacey to be VP?
Biden? Did you do this?
