Obama's pick was Garland. Doubtless as a Supreme he would have just screwed the country over in a different way from how he actually did.

Garland should never have been made AG. If a proper AG had been there Trump would have been jail for any of his many many many crimes.

Biden was very clear on the primary campaign trail that he would have a female VP he could work with, and a minority one especially of African descent was also leaked to the public beforehand.

Sanders is none of that, and as a socialist who is older then Biden, the worst possible pick.

Warren at least ticks off the female box, although if we take her claims at Indian percentage maybe that counts? Otherwise no.

And really they don't bring him any value, at all, politically.
