Bernie fans may have hated her, but there was plenty for Clinton supporters not to like as well. All she needed to do was not give the appearance she was favoring Clinton, much like Obama was successful at doing. And she failed at it utterly. Clinton didn't need her help to win. The help Clinton needed was for DWS not to make an issue of herself in the campaign. Many Clinton supporters and others have disliked DWS for years now. The issue is not her handling of the priamry, it's her shitty running of the DNC, where she fucks the party downticket and protects Republican seats held by friends of hers. And also her connectrions with the payday loan industry. The thing is, this was always going to happen. It's how Dean got replaced. New nominee comes in, the head of the DNC basically becomes a figurehead and is then replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Gary Locke is a nice idea too. The old rules don't matter because Trump has no experience. Personally I agree with you, but I don't think lack of experience will be a huge factor in who Clinton picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Locke would have been interesting. Pity he is out of politics. I think Clinton is going to play it super safe. At this point she doesn't need a risky play to win, and she likely believes that she has it in the bag provided she doesn't fuck things up. I'm going to guess Kaine.

Fat Mac Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 While Tim Kaine would be the safest pick, it would make the Democratic ticket one of the most boring in awhile (I say this as a big Clinton supporter). Not that I think politics needs to be exciting, and Trump is surely showing the dangers of "celebrity" politics, but I think Clinton would be well off picking a VP that has some personality. Which is why my preferred choice is Tom Perez. The man is a good speaker, articulates well, and is overall charming. His lack of executive experience is certainly not favorable, but if it is a choice between him or someone like Castro (who heads an even lower valued Cabinet department), then I don't think it's a tough choice.

MerenthaClone Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Trump has 30 paid staffers nationally. This dumb motherfucker is running such a poor campaign he might actually put the House in play. Goddamn, I am so optimistic about this election year, even if it'll expose a ton of sheer nastiness in the US electorate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goddamn, I am so optimistic about this election year, even if it'll expose a ton of sheer nastiness in the US electorate. I've seen multiple sources that have the number closer to 70, but that's still an awfully small number. His plan is to rely on the RNC to fill the gap, but given how he's pissing them off as of late I doubt they'll be of much help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to guess Kaine. Yeah, I'd agree with that. Small target and everything*, and while Kaine generates zero excitement, he doesn't put anyone off or get the media asking awkward questions. *Just as long as she doesn't pull a Thomas Dewey 1948.

Kasich gets to appoint the Senate replacement, and unlike Warren in Massachusetts, there's no convenient Democratic super-majority in the legislature to circumscribe the Governor's power.

The Marquis de Leech Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Just had an oddball idea for a VP pick. How about Jim Matheson from Utah? OK, it'd upset Sanders supporters, but it'd twist the knife into Trump's Mormon problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LDS is the largest organized religious group who's happy to dump millions of dollars into antigay laws. In other words, sometimes, the enemy of my enemy is still just my enemy.
