I trust her and think she doesn't need to balance the ticket by picking a male. She needs to pick a VP like Obama did, him and biden like each other, biden can work with him and Obama was smart enough to recognize his own short comings and picked biden to balance his needs and not the tickets. Which I think is why he picked biden for VP and believed he needed Hillary as sos. My only hope is she picks someone young enough to run in 24. Leaves out Bernie and Warren. Either of them could fill another position in the Hillary administration.

The right man or woman would balance the ticket and help unify the party. Koinos Apr 2016 #10

TWO women on the ticket?? In a male-dominated, male-centric nation? That would be a sure-fire way BlueCaliDem Apr 2016 #17

I wish I didn't DemonGoddess Apr 2016 #18

It would be a DREAM ticket to have two strong women at the top of the ticket. Truly. BlueCaliDem Apr 2016 #19
