No Hillary won't and should not have Bernie as a Running Mate for very obvious reasons.

No, that cynical ploy will not unite the party.

No, Repukes will go full bore regardless.

GOPers must be terrified at the thought of trying to impeach her... Orsino Apr 2016 #7

Are you intentionally missing the point -- if it is HRC/Sanders and they win, who becomes President karynnj Apr 2016 #49

Yeah, I don't think the possibility of impeachment is relevant. n/t Orsino Apr 2016 #73

I certainly do not think potential impeachment will play a roles in her karynnj Apr 2016 #75

DU is not the place to advocate against a Democrat losing his Senate seat. morningfog Apr 2016 #28

Really? But it is a place to advocate voting against the Dem. party when livetohike Apr 2016 #79

he's been a mayor and held a cabinet level position La Lioness Priyanka Apr 2016 #82

Just as he is likable and presents well on TV, there is a poorly hidden subtext of slickness. nt TheBlackAdder Apr 2016 #83
