Why doesn't Hillary go ahead and pick Jeb for VP?

[J_J_]

Bring the parties together, a match made in heaven.

And just think how successful the PNAC plan will be.

[WI_DEM]

1. My guess is it will be Elizabeth Warren.

[Duval]

6. Really?

You may be right, but I cannot see Warren accepting.

[TwilightZone]

13. Warren encouraged Clinton to run.

They are not as dissimilar as many of you would like to believe.

[lapfog_1]

23. what is Warren's number 1 issue?

Have you seen the interview she gave about Hillary and the bankruptcy bill?

Warren is no fan of Hillary.

[Baitball Blogger]

29. What an irony. I love Warren,

but I can see the irony of two candidates who started out as Republicans running under the Democratic ticket, compared to Bernie who had to deal with criticism of not being a Democrat, until recently. The only thing he was guilty of was identifying as an Independent while pushing a Democratic platform.

64. "Elizabeth Warren Shows Support for Hillary Clinton’s Wall Street Plan"

Hillary Clinton, hearing criticism for her ties to the financial industry, received the critical support of Senator Elizabeth Warren on Monday for her proposal to expand the Dodd-Frank regulatory structure and urging of President Obama to veto any legislation that would weaken Wall Street regulation.

“Secretary Clinton is right to fight back against Republicans trying to sneak Wall Street giveaways into the must-pass government funding bill,” Ms. Warren, the liberal senator from Massachusetts, wrote on Facebook after Mrs. Clinton published an Op-Ed article in The New York Times with her proposals to regulate Wall Street.

61. Warren "encouraged" her to run?

That's kind of liking "encouraging" Donald Trump to look in a mirror.

[brooklynite]

65. "Elizabeth Warren: I hope Hillary Clinton runs for president"

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she hopes Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for president in 2016 — the latest in a series of declarations of support by the Massachusetts Democrat, who some have speculated could seek the Oval Office herself.

"All all of the women — Democratic women I should say — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.

[Kelvin Mace]

68. As I said...

She has been planning this since she left the White House. Yes, EW encouraged her, but she would have run if EW said the opposite.

[djean111]

15. Still would not get my vote.

Hillary would be happy to sideline Warren into a do-nothing job and out of the Senate, though.

[arely staircase]

31. I wouldn't be surprised. She has been a very good attack dog against Trump so far, which is what the

Veep candidate traditionally does.

[Duckhunter935]

54. Never

[itsrobert]

2. Bravo.

You did it. I responded. You should feel honored. You are welcome.

[Kelvin Mace]

3. Kissinger's available and she values him as a friend and advisor

But I think she pondering Emanuel, Cuomo or DWS.

[yourpaljoey]

11. I hear Newt is on the market. Get him while he's hot!

[wendylaroux]

40. no,not newt,both are the same height. wouldn't look good.

[Herman4747]

27. Well, Henry Kissinger was born in Germany, and therefore...

might not be eligible. OTHERWISE, HE WOULD DEFINITELY BE HER TOP CHOICE!!!

[One Black Sheep]

28. Bah, rules are not for Hillary, she is above them, they are only for the little people.

Bring on VP Kissinger!

[Herman4747]

44. Yeah, bring it on!!!

Don't they make just an absolutely lovely couple together?
?quality=90&strip=all&w=664&h=441&crop=1

[Sheepshank]

57. How come you are not trotting out the Trump/Clinton wedding pictures?

Oh that's right, it no longer fits the narrative. Clinton and Trump have shown their real animosity. That attempt to create a "in each others' pockets" narrative with Trump is just as irrelevant as what you are trying to portray with this picture. It's absolutely useless.

[Fumesucker]

62. This stuff is as fake as Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog

[Herman4747]

72. One Black Sheep's message referred to Kissinger, not Trump.

From now on, please think before you write.

[Sheepshank]

75. demeaning snark was posted way too quickly and without reading the entire post

let me simplify for those that simply want to bash and not fully read...or perhaps nuance isn't your strong point?

Hillary/Trump pictures no longer posted because the narrative no longer fits. but were posted ad nausum for too long
Hillary/Kissinger pictures are still being posted in the hopes they are relevant.
Reality, one picture is as unrelevent as the other picture.

continue your hate rhetoric. Only BSers continue to divide.

[Sheepshank]

58. stupid couplets don't work any more. Where are the links to prove your inane statement nt

[Kelvin Mace]

60. Rules are for little people

[jzodda]

4. No the odds are not to move right

but move left with the pick. My guess is Warren

[Duckhunter935]

55. Nope, she will move right

[jzodda]

74. Your statement is illogical

Its the left where her perceived deficiencies lie and its the grouping of people she has to work to fix. That's what unity is all about.

Going right would make no sense. It also has no political benefit.

[Duckhunter935]

77. Yes it does, you just do not acknowledge it

The left and a lot of Bernie supporters will never vote for her but will write in or vote green. Many right leaning independents and even moderate republicans would rather vote for her than Trump.

[jzodda]

79. Its not going to happen

My money is on Warren

[Duckhunter935]

80. I doubt it

To much risk of losing a dem Senate seat

[One Black Sheep]

5. Hillary does seem much more interested in wooing republicans rather than liberals or

Bernie supporters.

Or hell, even Zell Miller. He is still kickin' around. Would be a perfect match for Hillary's brand of politics.

[yourpaljoey]

7. DeLay and Boehner are available.

Decisions decisions!

[wyldwolf]

8. Why doesn't Sanders and his faux Dem followers go ahead and admit they're not Democrats?

[angrychair]

26. Yep

That is why people say these things. Wow, you figured it out...

[Bluenorthwest]

70. Your profile says you are in Georgia but you bash the Oregon Democrats who voted for Bernie

by a double digit margin in a closed primary with some of the better turnout of the cycle. Both of our Senators are Democrats, while yours are Republicans like your Governor, Statehouse and the bulk of your Reps.

What makes you 'real' and me 'faux' again? Is Nathan Deal your Passport to Boasting?

[TwilightZone]

9. She has no interest in bringing the parties together.

She wants to take down Trump.

You know, the GOP nominee? Stubby fingers, orange hair. Ring a bell?

[NCTraveler]

10. This is just fucking stupid.

I really do hope you get it all out.

You are really going to be pissed when Clinton picks and excellent progressive as her running mate.

This is the level of discourse. "Why doesn't Hillary go ahead and pick Jeb for VP?"

That comment is based in blatant ignorance. I think I am being polite by calling it stupid.

[jzodda]

14. 10 more days till they all leave

and we can consign GDP primary forum to the dustbin.

[Fuddnik]

25. And, we'll see you again in another 4 years?

[Herman4747]

30. Some certainly would disagree with you.

[NCTraveler]

35. I don't see blatant stupidity listed as a reason for alert.

Therefore I don't see how they have disagreed with me.

[floriduck]

12. Maybe Louis Gohmert

[One Black Sheep]

16. ...

[Fuddnik]

19. Or Liebermoron!

But, I think after Nixon-Agnew, they outlawed two assholes on the same ticket.

[Herman4747]

47. Liebermoron is only right-wing with regards to foreign policy...

...Hillary would want the complete package.

[FSogol]

17. There, there, it will be ok. Here's your blankey.

[Renew Deal]

18. You need a nap

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

20. I could actually see that happening, seeing how close the Clintons are with the Bushies.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2016!!!

[NurseJackie]

21. Awww ....

[wendylaroux]

45. awwww,another picture thingy from the nurse

[KingFlorez]

22. Why doesn't Trump go ahead and pick Sanders for VP?

Bring the anger together.

[gordianot]

33. Social Skills at work.

[wendylaroux]

34. Bernie is not a Conservative silly.

[Trust Buster]

24. This is not helpful. On another thread we are discussing the possibility of a fine progressive like

Sherrod Brown from my state of Ohio. Both sides need to soften up a bit.

[Herman4747]

39. Sherrod Brown should have ran against Hillary...

...but he was far too timid.
Then, he should have endorsed the liberal, Bernie, rather than the one who gets foreign policy advice from Henry Kissinger and who runs away from being called a "liberal." (Unlike JFK, who was a proud liberal, even giving a speech attesting to this).
Sherrod Brown I no longer admire.

[Trust Buster]

50. Who would you prefer to be the V.P. candidate ?

[Herman4747]

51. To help unite a fractured party, one of 2 Bernie supporters:

Raúl Grijalva -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_Grijalva

or

Jeff Merkley -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Merkley

A more united party would have the effect of bringing more Democrats into Congress in the November elections.

[Duckhunter935]

59. Cool another Republican appointed

To the Senate by a Republican governor

[wendylaroux]

32. you know this really is the best way for hc to win.

Trump would not have a prayer.

[MineralMan]

36. What's the point of this nonsense?

I don't get it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

41. I think you know ...

[MFM008]

78. Lol

[MrWendel]

56. The point is...

[1StrongBlackMan]

37. Because Jeb is a republican would be my guess ...

I know ... I know ... HRC = Democratic Party = gop.

[firebrand80]

38. Because she wants Dick Cheney, obviously nt

[SidDithers]

42. Awwwww...

someone has a sadz.

Sid

[MyNameGoesHere]

43. I thrive on your

Bitterness and despair for I am having a Glorious day, absolutely Glorious!

[disillusioned73]

46. K&R..

That actually make perfect sense..

[hamsterjill]

48. This is a shameful post!

Really, seriously?

[Skwmom]

49. I've always thought it was a possibility that Jeb would get back in the race somehow.

Whether on the D or R side.

[Jackilope]

52. Picking Lloyd Blankfein would be truly honest.

[Herman4747]

73. Yes, they make a good couple as well:

"Now remember, Hillary, the promises you made must be kept secret!"

[Lizzie Poppet]

53. Too liberal.

[brooklynite]

63. You know, you could probably be MORE obnoxious if you made some more effort...

Hillary is a solid Democrat, as much as you appear to want to retain the sole right to decide who is.

[geek tragedy]

66. Bitter, party of one nt

[zappaman]

67. The BFEE can make it happen!!!

They can do anything!!!
Well, anything but get Jeb the nomination...

[Tarc]

69. The easiest way to tell when the OP isn't interested in sincere dialog

Well, apart from the "question" being obvious flamebait, is that they do not show up to reply to anyone.

[rhett o rick]

71. She promised the VP slot to Goldman-Sachs.

[Demsrule86]

76. June 16th so get it out of your system. nt

[LenaBaby61]

81. June 16th is .....

On it's way

[Jack Bone]

82. K & R nt
