In reply to the discussion: What about an "anybody but Clinton or Sanders" scenario, Skinner & DU? [View all]StevieM
(10,500 posts)strange reason she is not the nominee, it will be due to health problems. The same holds true for Donald Trump, and the same would have held true for Bernie Sanders if he had become the presumptive nominee. Not that we have any reason to suspect that any of the three actually has health problems.
Then again, I just read a post from a Sanders supporter who claimed that Hillary is a drug-addict. So I guess we now have another reason to deny her the nomination, even if she wins a majority of pledged delegates.
I doubt that Sanders would be interested in being her running-mate. And if she wanted to make a base pick then I think she would go with Elizabeth Warren. Although I am not sure if she is interested either, regardless of whether the nominee is Clinton or Sanders.
I am hoping that she picks Representative Xavier Becerra of California as her running-mate. He is a good progressive and I think you would like him.
