A New Strategy for Bernie to Think About?

[KoKo]

What about "Bernie/O'Malley" for 2016!" Throwing this Out Here!
Martin O'Malley is an Organized Person/Candidate...The Platform he has put out for His Policy is Great for Dems...but, he hasn't caught on because he seems to be a "little bit out there" and is still Young.

BUT! What a Combination! O'Malley's Policy Details to Move Forward compared with Sanders Great Communication Skills! As a TEAM they Compensate for Each Others Weaknesses and TOGETHER....what could be BETTER?

WHY NOT!

What about O'Malley and Sanders joining together..(because Both seem to Be "Forward Thinking Dems&quot who understand what the Dem Party "Used to be About."

Could this work?

Hillary is supposed to be thinking about one of the young Castro Brothers as her VP....and some have complained that O'Malley with Bernie doesn't focus on POC or Hispanics enough. But, if THE MESSAGE of Bernie and O'Malley is strong enough for Equality for All...wouldn't it still be possible?

After all we know from Past Exprience that POC/and Latino/Hispanics really don't fair well these days under either Dem or Repub Admins ....but, of course worse under Repubs...but How Much Difference has Obama made when we have Militarized Police (trained in Foreign Countries) preying on our POC Populations all over America. Who would have thought Obama would just be waking up to this?

So...look at the Policy and the Character of the Candidates and not just pick them for Color of Skin or Gender Preferences because it often doesn't work that Politicians have Loyalty to those issues once elected...imho from experience as an older DU'er.

1. I like Bernie Warren

[KoKo]

2. She doesn't want to run...so far...

But, yeah I could go with that. But, much easier for Obama/O'Malley to team up with their policies?

3. I'm not sure O' Malley would make such as great running mate for Bernie

Maybe DNC chair or something

[KoKo]

4. He actually has good Policy Positions....

and would compliment Bernie's views....if they could find a way to team up against Hillary's Third Way/NeoLib Policies for the next debate getting together to complement each other for the debate to Tag Team her.

5. I would say no thanks

I don't like him. He's a phony. A trojan horse. Just my opinion.

6. OMalley

would be a mistake for VP. Other than a Sanders/Warren ticket which would be great, I would really LOVE to see a Sanders/Lee ticket.

Who? Rep. Barbara Lee.

8. Barbara Lee ... Yes!

She would be great.

7. I like O'Malley personally but

I think if Bernie picked another white guy, he'd be making a mistake. You can't tell me there aren't some well qualified women and/or poc that would be excellent choices for VP.

[TBF]

9. O'Malley doesn't bring anything to the ticket -

even putting gender aside. He's from Maryland and frankly his record there isn't much to write home about. Hillary has got Julian Castro (which is just grooming for him to run in 2024) ... so I think it would be wise for Bernie to look to the south, midwest or west for people. Personally I like Kshama Sawant - young and progressive.

10. Martin is trying to reach for the stars

however the stars are not within reach. He is desperate to get some sort of position whether it be VP or cabinet position. I think he was not quite ready for this presidential election judging by the by his v. low poll numbers. Maybe he should have run for senate first. He seems to be out of his depth. He is a fan of the Clintons.
