64. The only powerless VPs who are those with opposing views nominated to balance the ticket.

Tue Jan 26, 2016, 06:50 PM

Jan 2016

The only VP I can recall who filled that bill was LBJ, whom JFK despised.

She would only be powerless as VP if President Sanders wanted her to be powerless. And I don't think there's any chance that he would want to shut her up or keep her away from the biggest national problems. Do you?

I'm not big on taking sitting Senators out of Congress and into the WH or cabinet, but this one.time, I'm all for it. I believe that the partnership of Bernie and Elizabeth in the White House would be in unstoppable.
