Nina Turner weighing offer to join Green Party ticket as vice presidential candidate

[DemocratSinceBirth]

CLEVELAND, Ohio – Nina Turner, the Democratic former state senator from Cleveland who has emerged as a rallying figure for Bernie Sanders' disappointed supporters, said she is considering an offer to run for vice president on the Green Party's national ticket.

Massachusetts physician Jill Stein, the party's presumptive presidential nominee, reached out with the pitch, Turner told cleveland.com Sunday evening in a telephone interview.

The Green Party opens its convention Thursday in Houston. Turner would stand for nomination there if she agrees to be Stein's running mate. Her decision is expected in the coming days.

18. Nina is destroying any future she has a Democrat.

It makes me sad. I always liked her. Don't go to the green side Nina...you are better than that.

5. Cynthia McKinney Blames Israel for Europe Terror Attacks in Bizarre Tweet

A former Georgia congresswoman claimed in a tweet that Israel is responsible for recent terror attacks in France and Germany.

Former Georgia Rep. Cynthia McKinney tweeted Saturday night: “Same Israeli photographer captures Nice and Munich tragedies. How likely is that? Remember the Dancing Israelis?…” The tweet includes a link to a video about the photographer’s coincidence on the “Veterans’ Today” site.

4. green party platform seems reasonable mostly. why are its candidates such ... nuts?

dems and greens share many values yet the greens always put a dodgy person from the extreme who wants to start at the top. odd

8. homeopathy?

reasonable to question vaccination?

not so reasonable in the opinion of many.

13. That's usually the case for the Libertarians too.

Though, this year Johnson-Weld are light years more sane than Trumputin Pence

7. Career Suicide

I really can't imagine she would do this. Fast trip to obscurity.

[jimw81]

10. She already did that

[alcibiades_mystery]

9. As soon as she accepts it, I can call her a piece of shit

BUT NOT UNTIL THEN!

11. called that two weeks ago

15. The reality is that Nina would probably upstage Stein in a major way.

By the end of the convention a bunch of BoB's will be yelling "Out with Stein, in with Nina!!!!"

16. Why run if there is ZERO chance or winning. She'd be working as a Trump surrogate. Plain & Simple.

I like Nina Turner. Her story is amazing and the things she has over come are truly extraordinary. But, this is beyond stupid. They'll lose, she'll have no career in Democratic politics, and if Hillary loses she might not have one has a talking head on tv.

17. I've always loved Nina and find it very disappointing she would do anything that could lead to the

election of Trump. This is a very unusual election because one candidate is batshit crazy. We might not agree with Hillary, but we can't allow Trump to be POTUS. Country over party and country over hurt personal feelings.

19. If she does her political career is over.

20. You've summed it up. nt
