He has made an even stronger statement about picking a woman. WeekiWater May 2019 #40
It is POSSIBLE, just possible, that Sanders felt several questions coming about a VP choice, pangaia May 2019 #51
If so, he could have said, "Of course I would consider a woman of color, but we're getting LongtimeAZDem May 2019 #72

Seriously. Politicians should assume that everything they say in public will make the news Clash City Rocker May 2019 #54
Yeah, because white people in Iowa vote for white people. progressoid May 2019 #123
What's your point? George II May 2019 #125
What's your point about Iowa's mostly white voters? progressoid May 2019 #127
He's in Iowa and says it's "silly" to consider a person of color as a running mate. Now yours? George II May 2019 #129
And how does that inform your statement about white Iowa voters? progressoid May 2019 #135
Except Iowa white caucus voters aren't racists. They are left liberal and progressives emulatorloo May 2019 #144

Forget premature, why "silly" as though that's out of the question. George II May 2019 #22
I interpreted it as meaning it's silly to decide prematurely, but maybe that was too generous. The Velveteen Ocelot May 2019 #53
You might be right, but I'd be more comfortable with a candidate who can think on their feet... NurseJackie May 2019 #94

Everyone can see the clip and the "framing" is dead on EffieBlack May 2019 #78
the framing is correct, I watched it, and he fucked up badly Celerity May 2019 #164
I did, too. And his comment sounded dismissive, pnwmom May 2019 #183

Then why didn't he say the same about a woman VP? NastyRiffraff May 2019 #133
Compare that with:"I think we would look for somebody who is maybe not of the same gender that I am" WeekiWater May 2019 #35
