Cornel West for Veep

Why would Bernie pick another politician? There are many that agree with him but not 100 percent.

Wonder why Sanders is losing — picking a guy immensely disliked in the AA community as a surrogate, and then wondering why he can't get AA votes.

A Democratic candidate can't win the nomination or the general election without the support of African Americans, a big party of the Dem constituency.

It's not a secret, except maybe in the Sanders camp.
