VP Clue? "Build Bridges Not Walls"

[State the Obvious]

Hillary just said this phrase (again) at her Tampa rally. Admiral James Stavridis also says "build bridges, not walls" (see his TED Talk on Global Security). Hillary will be in Miami tomorrow and Admiral Stavridis does live in Miami. Just a guess.

1. U could be right

It could be him This I think would boost our ticket potentially altho I was ok with Kaine too

[Nonhlanhla]

2. I don't think those words are a clue

but I actually do think this admiral might be a good choice. His mere presence as a military man on her ticket would help to counter Trump's strongman message, especially if we see more terrorist attacks in the coming months. At the same time he sounds quite progressive.

But I have not looked into him too deeply. I could be wrong. We'll know soon enough anyway.

3. Hillary is taller than him

just for appearance alone, thats not going to happen

4. Makes Her look taller.

5. If Hillary is taller than him, then most of the sailors who served with him were taller than him....

How did that work out for his career?

7. "Build Bridges Not Walls" was the message on the Code Pink banner at the RNC

8. Hillary's been using that phrase in her stump speeches all along.

Not sure this is a clue.

9. Maybe not. They are friends though, so they both seem to agree on that point. nt

12. The wall...

Could be Tom Perez...

10. We could do worse. I like him. I think he brings the right kind of military creeds and will shut

down the Trump lies and pandering to the military. Check him out on TED Talk.
In the face of growing social media use by RW extremist groups and ISIS, and the cyber attacks that citizens face daily, he would be a sound choice to me. If only some of our extreme anti-military folks could listen to him, learn about his positions and feel his sincerity. He is an educator, a thinker, and can reach some miennials with his kinship with social media and cyber security issues.

11. In a way I hope it isn't Tim Kane, but not for the reason one may think. I hope it is someone else

so the so-called MSM political analysts look like complete idiots
