Well since Hillary is inevitable, who would she pick for a running mate?

[Fuddnik]

How would she triangulate this?

She could go for the Midwest vote, and pick Rahm Emmanuel.

Or employ her very own southern strategy, and hook up with Zell Miller or Charlie Crist.

Or an experienced pro, like Joe Liebermoron.

How about ole "Whats his name" from Iowa?

Let's put our thinking caps on, and find the perfect DLC-New Dem-Third wayer to round out the ticket!

[JoePhilly]

1. Is this the acceptance stage of grief??

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Seems more like the anger stage...

[JoePhilly]

3. Its getting hard to tell.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

5. We should be there for them until they return to meaningful lives.

Since empathy is part and parcel of liberalism.

[JoePhilly]

9. Sometimes it just has to run its course ...

... and it gets better with the passage of time ... I thinking around 9 to maybe 20 weeks should do it.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

12. I suspect a lot of them will never reach the point of acceptance and a return to meaningful lives.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't be there for those who earnestly seek our help.

[Fuddnik]

4. No anger or grief here.

Just a thirst for knowledge.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

6. You could have fooled Joe Philly and I./nt

[moobu2]

20. Oh I thought you just made a post to deride Hillary.

I didn't know you were sincere. I'll go with Julian Castro but whoever she picks I know they'll be great.

[bunnies]

29. No. Its the disgusted phase.

There's little acceptance for warm purple squishy bullshit this season.

[MeNMyVolt]

7. You.

I might actually vote against her.

[Fuddnik]

10. Well we all know who Bernie would pick.

I've heard his short list is down to.

1) Kim Jong Un

2) Raul Castro

3) Manny Goldstein

[enid602]

22. roseanne

Don't forget Roseanne Barr.

[BlueCaliDem]

42. Robert Chavez? Marillyn Hewson?

Marillyn should be chosen. She's a woman, she's intelligent, and she has a lot to thank Sanders for.

[TheFarseer]

8. Who's the CEO of Citigroup?

[brooklynite]

11. Someone recently posted an OP about VP choices for Sanders...without the insults

[Fuddnik]

16. Insults? They all have a "D" next to their name, and we're obligated to support them!

[brooklynite]

21. Well, I was starting with the "entitled" meme...

...BTW, can you share your hostile opposition to Gore/Lieberman with us?

[bunnies]

30. I can. Lieberman was a right-wing gasbag that voided Gores leftist appeal.

But you guys dont give a fuck about the "left" anyway. Gore picked a fucking republican as a running mate yet it the LEFTS fault that he lost.

[brooklynite]

33. I never blamed Nader...I always thought Gore ran a mediocre campaign.

But my question was, can you show us examples of your disdain during the 2000 election?

[bunnies]

35. I wasnt here then. And I agree with you about Gore.

I must have misread /misinterpreted your post. Anecdotally, I was really fucking pissed off about the Lieberman decision. I felt like he (Gore) was already on life support before he did that. I voted for him (of course) but knowing I was voting for Joe L at the same time made me angry. And nauseous. Ick.

[Paka]

38. I fortunately got back from Africa too late to re-register for that election.

It gave me the solid excuse to not cast a vote for Lieberman. I would have been too sick to function had I been faced with that. I was stunned that Gore would make such an odious choice.

[still_one]

13. Is this how you expect to attract others to support your candidate by bringing up hypothetical B.S.

[Kalidurga]

14. Mark Warner VA.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

15. I suspect it will be Julian Castro or Sherrod Brown.

EOM

[Docreed2003]

18. Despite the snark of the OP

I think Castro is exactly her choice, there have been plenty of signs pointing to that.

[Laffy Kat]

26. Yup. Agree 100%. nt

[MohRokTah]

17. Julian Castro will be the vice presidential nominee.

This has been obvious for years.

[BlueCaliDem]

44. *I* would certainly be surprised if it wasn't him!

[Godhumor]

19. Julian Castro. I would be shocked if she picks anyone else n/t

[7wo7rees]

40. That is what we believe, and we live in Texas.

Smart and strategic.

[riderinthestorm]

23. Just a heads up you were alerted on

On Tue Dec 1, 2015, 07:43 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Well since Hillary is inevitable, who would she pick for a running mate?

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Don't hide this. Nothing to see here.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 1, 2015, 07:53 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: "Disruptive meta-discussion is forbidden." Check.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ok, will take your advice "nothing to see here". Shrug
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert make absolutely no sense. WTF?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What a surprise, a jury call and it's a polarizing thread and an hyper itchy alert finger. Both camps take turns. Always the same 20 people from the two camps.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was juror #2

[JonLeibowitz]

46. I think it was a very clever alert.

It prevents someone from the opposition submitting a (likely bogus) alert that is actually serious. Something to keep in mind for contentious OPs in the future.

[Autumn]

24. That Castro from Texas. He's right up her alley.

[BlueCaliDem]

43. Which one? There are two, you know.

[Politicalboi]

25. Yes, I saw that mental masturbation poll earlier today

Hillary is now at 1000% ahead of Bernie. Doesn't matter who she picks, they're going to lose.

[Scootaloo]

27. Why dilute the ticket? Just run Clinton for both president and VP

[bunnies]

31. Clinton/Clinton 2016 -

Depends what is is.

WINNING!

[merrily]

36. LOL! (literally--thanks)

[firebrand80]

28. I'm not sold on Castro

Candidates that look promising can fall part on the national stage. I'm not saying he will, but he hasn't really been tested so we don't know.

I think Corey Booker will be in the mix.

[TSIAS]

32. James Woolsey

He is technically a Democrat, and was an appointee of her husband. She'd be appealing to the Scoop Jackson Democrats that Jim Webb speaks of with such reverence.

[WillyT]

34. Julian Castro... But I Think Martin O'Malley Is Giving It A Good Run...

[Yupster]

37. Elizabeth Warren

Bill Clinton doubled down with two young southerners and it worked.

Why wouldn't Hillary double down by picking another woman? Would anyone give more excitement than Warren?

[Live and Learn]

39. Why not Trunp? Give Bill someone to golf with. nt

[Gman]

41. O'Malley

[rbrnmw]

45. Julian Castro

I don't want her to take Sherrod Brown we need him fighting for Ohio along with Ted Strickland who will take Rob Portman's seat

[Warren DeMontague]

47. I believe Jim Webb is available.

Can you imagine?

That would be good for a few chortles, around here.
