If there's anyone in the world besides Trump that would make me want to vomit if I had to vote for them, it would be Tulsi (or any of the trolls and bomb-throwers who infest his campaign staff).

I don't think it will be a Senator, since according to Clinton, he has no friends there. That precludes Warren, plus she doesnt seem to like him anyway. I think Stacey Abrams has a good shot. She's female and a POC. She's got a great grievance and has a decent personality. Unlike Sanders, she smiles and seems to be a nice person.

She's got a great future. Being a losing VP candidate is a great way to dissapear (see Ferraro, Palin, Quayle, Kaine, etc.) .
