And Mcconnell is telling republicans they can head for the hills if they need to

Biden probably was going to pick her…until they found out she is a Scientologist… Hence why I think Biden is delaying the decision another week.

Uh…no. Pass on Bass. If you guys thought religion was bad, I can’t think of how Bass would be a good candidate. She just failed the “safe” litmus test.
Biden picking Bass is almost a guaranteed loss. The atheists/agnostics will hate her. Any moderate swing voter that has any sort of religion will hate her..And given Biden is old, whoever he picks there is a high chance she will end up being president ..Bass is a non start.

Harris is also a bad pick.

Still think Duckworth is the safest bet.
