2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Who do you think Hillary will pick for VP [View all]
Here's what I have seen for the short list but welcome to hear other thoughts on who the best choice would be for VP.
Personally I think Hillary needs to go young, exciting and 'outside the box'. She needs to bring in young voters and excite those voters who tend to only vote every 4 years if the will inspires them. I know Tom Kaine has been high on the list but I think he would bore voters. Hillary needs to go with someone like Julian Castro, Cory Booker or Elizabeth Warren - 3 people I think would help get those voters excited!

I'm also in the Perez camp for now but I'm wondering if we have a dark horse selection coming.

No...as a former VA resident, I can tell you Tim Kaine is in no way a "progressive reformer"...

I like Booker and Warren. Castro doesnt have enough of a record to really know where he stands
