Related: About this forumMuch as I would like to see a woman on the ticket,
I am beginning to think that a Sanders - O'Malley ticket would be pretty awesome and unbeatable. I'd love to see them start working together to come up with solutions.

I'd like to see a great liberal/left woman on a Sanders ticket.

EDIT - There are lots of women who could join as his running mate. If Jill Stein ran with Bernie? My head and heart would explode.

(146,327 posts)to pick someone besides O'Malley as his running mate. O'Malley wouldn't bring enough voters with him, I think. Now, if he could convince Elizabeth Warren to run with him, that would be much better in terms of vote-getting.
I like O'Malley, but he's not making a good showing in the polls this round. For a candidate like Sanders, a different sort of running mate would be advisable, I think. Someone close to his viewpoint, but with a broader appeal for people in the center of the political spectrum.
That would be my advice to him, if he was leading going into the Democratic Convention. Mind you, I don't think he will be, though.

O'Malley may not be showing much in the polls but he is a quite likable candidate with lots of good ideas.

(12,769 posts)Sanders would be of far more value as President. And O'Malley's ideas mesh quite well with Sanders. They could accomplish quite a bit between the two of them.

(146,327 posts)Sanders will continue to serve in the Senate. Actually, he'll never have left the Senate. He'll continue to act as the conscience of the Senate, as he has been doing. He'll be a reliable voter for every progressive issue President Clinton proposes, too.
