Let's see what pairings we like best...Bernie Sanders edition...

[Baltimike]

If Bernie is the nominee, who would you pick as his ideal running mate?

I am going out on a limb here, but I think Stacey Abrams brings a lot to a Sanders ticket

[Siwsan]

1. Sanders/Abrams - Interesting!

I think Stacey would be a whole lot to ANY ticket.

[Baltimike]

2. so true...so very true. nt

[backtoblue]

3. +1

[Funtatlaguy]

4. Stacey, Kamala, Elizabeth, or Amy. Needs to be a woman.

[sandensea]

7. +1

So many good choices.

18. That's pretty much his initial qualification, based on an interview on the subject:

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/430905-sanders-says-hes-leaning-towards-selecting-a-woman-for-vp-if-hes-2020-dem

"I think we would look for somebody who is maybe not of the same gender that I am, and maybe somebody who might be a couple of years younger than me,” Sanders, who jumped into the race this week, said of a possible VP pick during an appearance on the "The Young Turks," a left-leaning web series.

5. Bernie picking Stacy Adams as a running mate

is about as likely as me running for president.

[Diabolixxx]

6. So many excellent possibilities

Sanders/Warren would be quite the powerhouse combo to make it to the White House, and create much needed systematic change for “economic justice, social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice.”

9. Warren wouldn't want a do nothing veep spot

Bernie would need to give her a well defined role with big responsibilities.

[lanlady]

8. Biden/Klobuchar

would be a very strong ticket. Neither is my first choice (I like Warren and Harris best) but realistically, a lot of Republicans, especially women, who secretly or not-so-secretly loathe Trump would vote for that.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

10. hmmmm, lemme think...

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[rgbecker]

14. Bingo! Warren would continue with Bernie's lead should she need to.

Meanwhile she'll continue taking on the Banks.

Bernie has promised a women Vice President and it may be the best way to get a women into the White House given the backwardness of America.

[Go Vols]

19. +1

[DoctorJoJo]

11. Jill Stain Would Be Most Fitting!

[machI]

12. Bernie Sanders and Loretta Lynch

Loretta Lynch would round out the ticket and give confidence to a lot of voters to vote Democratic rather than look at candidates running alternative campaigns.

[corbettkroehler]

13. Remember Rule #1

The purpose of choosing a running mate is to gain help winning a state. That's part of the reason Biden emphasized his roots in Pennsylvania in 2008.

Abrams checks that box and many more but Sanders would be served by also keeping an eye on a running mate with foreign policy bona fides.

[MineralMan]

15. Jill Stein?

[dalton99a]

16. +1

[comradebillyboy]

17. Here's my pairings:

Bernie/Tulsi
Berni/Nina
Bernie/David Sirota
Bernie/Cornell West
Sanders/Sarandon

[Funtatlaguy]

21. Ok, somebody is just being naughty. Lol.

[comradebillyboy]

22. Sorry, sometimes I just can't help myself.

[sarabelle]

20. Warren/Inslee Warren/Steyer Biden/Warren Biden/Inslee

It really is going to be tough this primary.
