If Warren is the nominee, she really should pick Castro as VP

 

That would be one hell of a ticket - debates with Trump and Pence would be true popcorn entertainment

 

If any polls show Texas as flippable Castro as the vp will happen

 

So close

 

There are of course a hundred other reasons why I’d want them to win, but....

After listening to what will be 4 years of listening to right wingers and moderates and the “IDW” and every idiot around talk about how the Dems lost 2016 because of social justice and they need to go after trump WWC voters and that means being less pro choice and maybe not calling things that are racist, racist...god id love fucking nothing more than watching a “shrill” woman and a brown Latino man who are both pretty strong on social justice issues and racism win the fucking election and watch them all backtrack and/or insist that they won in spite of those things and just got lucky or something.

 

I think, even though its probably a bit unfair, Bernie really needs a female VP if he gets the nom. Biden likely too.

That being said Warren/Castro feels like a really good ticket to me. Trying to think of who Bernie could pick as VP that would complement him as well as Castro does Warren and I'm coming up blank. Maybe Abrams?

 

I'm still sticking to Bernie/Gillibrand as my favorite ticket for him. Maybe you all will agree with me after the debate tomorrow

 

Out of all these candidates, he probably would NEED to go Harris or maybe Booker. I don’t think he and Warren would be a ticket together (who knows? I do know I don’t want to lose BOTH of them in the senate haha), but yeah he could def go outside of the candidate pool for someone. I suppose Abrams would be a possibility, but not being on the National stage before could cause some stumbling for her. Who else is out there? I really don’t know.

 

Someone would look silly if they made a “the people on tv that do this for a living my point” argument tonight

 

Def possible, I just don’t know if an all white ticket is a good idea

 

Gillibrand is one of the only people who should drop out faster than booker should. How she hasn’t done so out of humiliation is beyond me

 

Eh, the person you’re talking about does “marketing” for a living.
The person I’m talking about legit works in politics. M

 

I cannot see a scenario in which Bernie/harris or /booker makes any sense

fascists going to bat for a fascist

 

No you’re not they’re on cnn as a taking head lol

 

Yeah as a guest panelist. I think she runs ActBlue as her actual like job.

 

Lol

I’m a Yoshi myself

 

Bernie/Gillibrand is way too northeast focused. Bernie/Booker has the same problem.

Bernie/Harris is the only national ticket with people in the race that works. And even that Harris's record makes it less than ideal... think he'll definitely want to look outside of the candidate pool.

 

He's like Congressman Murray from Parks & Rec

 

that’s literally marketing

 

Stacey abrams works for cap so I am doubtful that Bernie would go for her. I could see him picking Nina turner

 

doesn't this guy know how twitter works? what you're supposed to do is have a long twitter thread with each dem candidate by the mario kart character they pick. that way you get 20 times the likes

 

That would end his chances with so many dem voters. He probably has to go safer to get more traditional Dems.

 

I would imagine he probably doesn’t have a chance w many of those people to begin w?
