But I will be happy with whomever. Better than the other side. Even would be fine with Bernie as VP. Anybody but a Trumpster. I wish Kamala Harris could do it. Corey Booker. Castro or Castro.

Plus he's young enough to groom for the next POTUS run.

Castro is winning right now, but it will be interesting to check back later. The rest each have 10%.

4. I would prefer that it NOT be a Senator.

We have a chance of taking the Senate Majority. I don't want that put at risk. Some believe if it's Warren, we will get another Dem in place. May I remind you we, a very Blue State, elected Sen Scott Brown. Plus we recently elected Charlie Baker as our GOP Governor. Hell bells, we elected Mittens too.

Lol! Please guys, don't put that kind of pressure on us.

Anyway, HC knows full well she needs the Senate and she won't do anything to jeopardize that.

IMHO~

because I trust her to make the right decision. It's fun to second guess, sure, but it's not up to any of us.

I want Warren because her enthusiasm and vigor remind me of Joe Biden, but we need to retake the Senate.

12. Castro. He'd be perfect as Vice President and young enough to follow Hillary Clinton as the next

president of the United States.

If you believe he doesn't have any or enough experience, remember first and foremost who the presidential nominee is at the moment. Then check out his accomplishments as Mayor of a major Texas city with 1 million people here. *How many multiple-term Senators can boast that they've been elected with over 500k votes to office?

Hillary Clinton is a seasoned and highly experienced politician who's been First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the United States. She's been elected twice as Senator of New York and then appointed as Secretary of State for President Obama. She's got hands-on experience on how the White House works. She doesn't need anyone with equal experience to be a running mate. She needs someone she can work with, get along with; someone she can help groom and who is young enough after her two terms to be able to follow her up.

Castro fits the bill perfectly.

I thought he didn't have a chance the way I heard what he had said and then all these other ones were being talked about.

Mahalo for the info on HUD Sec Castor!

He would make an exceptional VP and one day, he will make an equally exceptional president.

You're very welcome, Cha

I really do hope she chooses him as her running mate. He's so perfect for her, the strength of the Democratic Party, and for the country.
