Who is the ideal running mate for Bernie and why?

1. Should be in general discussion, primaries

[Scuba]

2. Usain Bolt!

3. Doesn't matter unfortunately.

He's going to have to give it to a Clintonite to keep Hill and Bill from doing their "long knives" thing to him during the GE. If he shuts-out the center-right capitulation crew, I can easily see months of Bill praising Jeb! as a good person and refusing to stump for the Democratic nominee.

:/

I hope I'm wrong but I doubt I am.

4. Far too early

to be considering running mates for any candidate.

[FloridaBlues]

5. Way too ahead of yourself and way early

6. Like the Hillary supporters were not tossing around Julian Castro's name as VP

as early as last February or March.
Or was that okay because Hillary is supposed to be a shoo-in.

But this post does belong in GD-P, i agree with whoever said that.

7. Maybe he should look at Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the

congresswoman from Washington, D.C. John Oliver did a bit on his show about how bizarrely unfair it is that D.C. has no actual vote in Congress and that Congress can undo ordinances that D.C. voters overwhelmingly vote in favor of (like gun regulations). He talked about her and also showed a clip of her smacking down a Republican who tried to usurp her floor time.

She sounds smart and fiery. Since she is also black, having her as a running mate would push against two glass ceilings at the same time. The stuff about her starts at 3:08. Even in that short clip she impressed the heck out of me.
