ABC's "The View" co-host Joy Behar wants Hillary Clinton to cross party lines and pick Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) as her running mate.

"You know what I think would be good? If Susan Collins was Hillary's vice presidential candidate," Behar said on the show Thursday.

"I'm putting that out there, Susan Collins for vice president. It would be nice. That would bring the country together. That's a bipartisan ticket."

"A Republican from Maine?" asked a co-host.

1. no Joy. A Democrat thank you anyway

2. Someone was BOUND to say it.

Has behar been ignorant of the way congressional repugs have treated POTUS and all Democratic initiatives for 7 years???

5. Behar and that whole group

are astoundingly ignorant, which is why I can't watch it.

Collins would put the whole country to sleep. Have you noticed her rate of speech? If a normal person is 250 wpm, Collins is 100.

6. Agree.

9. I never watch it.

Collins has the same condition as Robert Kennedy, I think, Spasmodic dysphonia. I admire her for her tenacity, tho it is difficult to listen to her.

10. oh, ok

well, thanks for the input. Didn't know that.

3. She doesn't understand much about the country if she thinks that would bring it together.

Besides, Trump is doing a nice job of bringing the country together...to vote for Hillary and other Dems.

4. No, and not going to happen.

We're too polarized, let's not pretend otherwise, ok?

We're not even similar anymore, no matter the blather. The current GOP is a toxic swamp gas spreading hate and intolerance to the masses. I won't condone pretending we are the same.

7. Sorry Joy.. but that's stupid.

8. Lieberman, I suppose.

Why not repeat old mistakes? Clinton should pick whoever she thinks would be the best progressive president, someone who agrees with her views and who she can work closely with. Also, someone who can become the next Democrat in the White House, not the next Republican. Joy is off her rocker.

11. Thanks for your opnion Joy, but no thanks.

[HarmonyRockets]

12. I noticed the other day during that press conference

that Susan Collins has Parkinson's Disease. Doesn't that get worse with time? I wonder if that would keep her from doing it anyways. Stupid idea obviously either way though.

13. God NO!!!!!!

14. Has she contracted a brain eating virus?

15. Would Joy Behar vote for Donald Trump

...if he chose a conservative Democrat for VP?

If not, then she doesn't have much of a case that a bi-partisan ticket would unite the country.
