The Veepstakes 2016 Edition: Analyzing Potential Running Mates For Hillary Clinton

http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2016/5/11/the-veepstakes-2016-edition-analyzing-potential-running-mates-for-hillary-clinton


You can't can you? They're polar opposite in everything they do from their demeanor, to their professionalism to their maturity to their intelligence to their views on such issues as health care, the minimum wage, women's rights, immigration reform, climate change, regulating Wall Street, criminal justice reform, and LGBT equality among other things. No, it's clear that these two candidates would not work well together nor would they want to. After what will surely be an intense six-months with a variety of personal attacks and insults rained down from the Trump campaign, it would be nearly absolutely absurd to expect these two candidates to then turn around and work with each other for the next four years.


longer article-with veep choices or not.......there is a articles under each candidate to read but I am sure the best choice will be made......but no way on Sanders....I had enough of him ......

Candidate #1 - Julian Castro, current Secretary of HUD

Candidate #3 - Tim Kaine, current Virginia Senator
Candidate #4 - Sherrod Brown, current Ohio senator
Candidate #5 - Elizabeth Warren, current Massachusetts senator
Candidate #6 - Amy Klobuchar, current Minnesota senator
Cory Booker, current New Jersey senator
Candidate #8 - Deval Patrick, former Massachusetts governor

We might need all of them.

That being said, what it does show is that we have some serious talent on our side of the aisle in the Senate.

As an aside, I don't think anyone in the decision-making process is really taking Sanders seriously as a VP candidate, Sanders and Hillary included.

I truly hope that NO sitting Senator or Governor is selected. We need them where they are!!

I also cannot imagine anyone with any common sense whatsoever who is seriously considering Sanders. He is all about Bernie. Period.

...need for legitimate action becomes necessary, instead of just words and speeches. A.K.A. the story of his entire career.

Former Michigan governor.

I agree with others, leave Senators in the Senate where we need them!
