time to think about hillary's VP choices

[beachbum bob]

from PredictWise - 2016 President – Democratic Vice-President Nomination
Elizabeth Warren 20 %
Julian Castro 19 %
Tim Kaine 18 %
Tom Perez 13 %
Bernie Sanders 10 %
Sherrod Brown 6 %
Al Franken 2 %
Martin OMalley 3 %
Deval Patrick 2 %


I'm convinced it won't be sanders has he is 100% untrustworthy and word make hillary's presidency all about himself.....and at one time I thought an all-female ticket would not serve hillary best with liz warren, but I'm having second thoughts on that now.

There has to be some other choices out there too....perhaps selected from democratic state officials and mayors? People who are well known in their state but not on the national level....?

1. I personally hope for None Of The Above. I want a choice that surprises everyone, even me.

Warren I think has done nothing to earn it.
Castro is a bit too young/inexperienced, even for a VP which is potentially a position to learn/grow.
Tim Kaine, I don't know enough about.
Same with Perez.
Bernie Sanders disqualified himself.
Sherrod Brown is OK, but uninspiring IMO.
Al Franken? Great guy, but one-liners get old after a while.
O'Malley and Patrick are too unknown to be useful.

I have no alternative, but I just hope that HRC has a bigger list than what the media is reporting. That kind of stuff makes me feel like the media is trying to steer or direct the choice down a specific path.

2. I personally prefer that it be

someone who is neither a sitting Senator, a Rep or a Dem Gov. We need all of those that we can get right where they are, IMO!

Otherwise, I trust her judgment - and will even trust it if she does choose an individual who currently holds one of those positions. Her choices so far have been good ones. I have no reason to believe that she will disappoint us now.

3. Not Kaine or Sanders

Castro or Perez.

Or Biden -- lol.

I want Warren to stay in the Senate where she does a lot of good. I like Brown, but name recognition?

5. Cory Booker

Booker should be on that list.
