The VP candidate will have to represent the other wing of the democratic party [View all]

Two moderates or two liberals on the same ticket alienates a big part of the voter base. It will have to be a balanced ticket. And the VP nominee will have to be significantly younger than the Presidential nominee (unless the nominee is Pete). Even with Orange Menace his VP is 13 years younger. I just don't think you can run a ticket with both being 70+

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
