Either we trust Hillary to run the administartion, or we don't.

[Binkie The Clown]

If we trust her, then we must leave it up to her to pick her running mate, and stop carrying on like we know better than her how to run her administration.

1. Never, ever, ever question your elected leaders!

Why it's.. unAmerican!

4. LOL really

People are questioning Clinton because of the myriad of mistakes and bad votes she has made in the past. I think generally she'll be a fine President, but she earned the doubts she is now receiving. She needs to rebuild that trust not just with the average person, but also her base, and I don't think the two are mutually exclusive.

14. UH. I rate that...mostly bull.

Nearly all of the 'mistakes' you think you know about are ginned up republican attacks.

If you think she may be too corporate for you're taste. OK I get it.
If you're political or economic priorities are different, I get it.
If you think she is untrustworthy, I don't get it.

If you think she made a myriad of mistakes and bad votes because of Bengazi or the email non-scandle or some such hashed up garbage then no, I don't get it at all.

5. It is different.

We are trusting her to choose a running mate who she and her team believe give her the best chance of winning. It's not as if we are choosing between war and peace.

6. The OP conflated that with running her whole administration.

But if we're sticking just to VP picks, see the post downthread about trusting Gore... who wound up picking Lieberman.

It's ridiculous to imagine these candidates are somehow more than human, and incapable of misjudgment, or mistakes.

[annavictorious]

2. I agree.

I can't help but wonder why so many people are so insistent that they know better than she. It's patronizing.

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. Back in the day, I trusted Gore to choose his VP.

I thought Lieberman was a terrible choice.

Clinton's choice will be better.

[bullimiami]

15. Lieberman was a horrible choice.

7. Is Hillary the Pope

God's representative on earth and thus infallible? I'm not a fan of assuming leaders make the right decisions. Kaine or Vilsack aren't offensive to me, just don't add anything. There are numerous Dems that have that sort of impact.

[democrattotheend]

8. I do to a point

I am prepared to support her but I am not at the point where I completely trust her to stay true to the progressive ideals she has been espousing the last few months.

Picking a centrist would heighten my fear that she is just paying lip service to a lot of the progressive tenants in the platform.

That said, I do agree that it is important that she choose someone she likes and wants to govern with. Even if someone looks perfect on paper she should not pick that person if it's not a good fit.

9. Blinkie The Clown—Hopefully, you feel this way about the general election.

I have come across numerous posts, not only on this site, in which Democratic voters have felt not fully confident about whether the party—specifically with the nomination won by Hillary Clinton—will win this year's presidential election.

Since your opening post encourages people to not question, to not feel skepticism, I encourage Democratic voters who nominated Hillary Clinton to stop questioning, to stop feeling skeptical, and to feel fully confident that Hillary Clinton will indeed win the 2016 United States presidential election.

I predict she will.

[Hortensis]

10. Anxiety is inevitable, but I feel pretty confident

that Hillary will win regardless of who she chooses for VP. Sure I have my favorites, but actually committing emotionally to any of them is, imo, kind of silly. I had my say when I voted for her. Right or wrong, her VP is her choice. Oh, technically the convention could block her, but that won't happen.

[bullimiami]

11. I agree. Even though I feel more for certain choices, I don't "know' them.

She has a smart group working on this, and she listens.

I expect there will be good reasons for whoever she picks and it won't be just because they get along better.

[ibegurpard]

12. Lieberman

Is really all that needs to be said.

[Warren DeMontague]

13. Come on. People are gonna talk about it until the choice is made public.

Of course it's her call, but everyone's gonna have an opinion.

The decision has undoubtedly already been made, anyway.

[farmboy]

16. Good people make mistakes. Hillary has admitted to some. I will speak up to prevent another.

Though it looks like it isn't going to work, per most recent vp leaks.

17. K&R!
