Might this be the 2016 Democratic Ticket?

[WI_DEM]

[peacebird]

1. I certainly hope not

[artislife]

2. I sure hope not. nt

[stevenleser]

3. It would be a great ticket and would set up Castro for 2024. First Latino President!

[cosmicone]

8. ^^^ THIS ^^^^

Plus we'll have several backups ... Michelle Obama, Chelsea Clinton, Kamala Harris etc. etc.

[rsmith6621]

16. How about we FIRST

Elect a President who represents and understands the middle class and doesnt take donations from corporations nor puts former CEO's and Wall St on the Cabinet working against the very people who elected them.

Sorry but Obama has been a disappointment in many ways and I believe Hillary will even be a bigger disappointment.

Let just get someone who works for US the 99.9% 100% of the time.

[stevenleser]

18. Obama is/was a great President and Hillary will be a great President too. nt

[restorefreedom]

26. i can half agree on obama

completely disagree on clinton.

[cascadiance]

28. Tell us more about how TPP and TTIP from the TPA he pushed more than anything else will help us!

How are they going to help us restore middle class jobs when they will be used more to take them away, and destroy the middle class even more. Sorry but NO THANK YOU!!!!

We need to stop voting just on "identity politics" and still vote on issues! If you want a real dynamic and potentially changing identity politics ticket, imagine how a Jewish/Muslim ticket of someone like Sanders/Ellison might represent a big change to the world. I think the persons that would be a part of that ticket would be a supreme example of how we shouldn't just be voting on their identities, as conventional wisdom would say those two "identities" paired on a ticket would be impossible, but the two PEOPLE we would be voting for would be a great team to help us bring real CHANGE on issues that people care about!

But most of us would want to campaign on the issues that combination, or some other similar combination of candidates that are more focused on issues they want to help America fix, rather than whether they are the first "Jew" or the first "Muslim" being elected.

30. As much as Bernie shilling for the NRA and gun manufacturers. But as far as accomplishments go

I'll just drop this here: http://pleasecutthecrap.com/obama-accomplishments/

[cascadiance]

31. If he was such a shill for the NRA, then WHY did they give him a D- in their rating of him?

Not sure what that popup infested web site is about, which almost felt like malware before I closed the window, but looks about as useless as anything else that people try to use against Bernie.

Edit: Looks like the link you replaced with is a bit more on topic. As for its notes, it reeks of propaganda. Yes, many of us here do acknowledge that Obama has done many good things, but he's also got many issues that aren't too helpful to us, that pages like this ignore. It doesn't mention the free trade messes that are coming through TPA, TPP, TTIP, etc. that will not only be put in place by himself, but a subsequent Republican administration if one is elected with TPA passage that he pushed so hard along with Republicans over most Democrat Party votes that weren't beholden to corporate cash as the DINOs were. Had he pushed Single payer in negotiating ACA even half as much as he did the TPP and TPA, we'd probably at least have a public option today in the ACA, and have a far less expensive system. Also, his justice department can't even keep pace with the Reagan administration in prosecuting banksters whose CRIMES created both the Savings and Loans crisis of Reagan's day and the crisis we recently had in Bush's administration. WHY? We need new leadership that will work more for the people rather than those who work for the banksters and Corporate America and wouldn't let them off the hook for screwing this country so heavily in recent years.

Bernie's got far higher ratings from those who really want progressive policies on issues, which he's been consistent and vocal about, and not waiting for polls to tell him whether he should say anything about them at all.

[stevenleser]

33. Because he failed to be as obsequious as the Republicans shilling for the NRA and gun manufacturers.

[cascadiance]

34. Because he actually worked harder on many other gun regulation bills that they didn't like...

Stop ignoring reality!

[Dawgs]

19. Right, because that's what matters.

Ugh!

[stevenleser]

22. It is one of the things that matters to me as a Latino. nt

[Dawgs]

23. Sure, but why him?

[stevenleser]

25. As opposed to Rubio? The only other Latino currently being talked about on either side

on any part of the ticket?

Do you really need me to answer that?

[Dawgs]

39. I didn't ask your opinion between those two.

I asked, why him for the first Latino Democratic President.

[stevenleser]

41. Because he is the only one remotely in the mix. I can't magically make other candidates run. nt

[Dawgs]

42. Exactly what I thought. Thanks. n/t

[arcane1]

48. Eight years is a long time, he may change his mind by then.

[MADem]

52. VIVA CASTRO!!!!!!!!

Cubans will be saying "What da faaaaaa.....???"


Hey--he was a keynoter!!! Up and coming!!!

Get a load of this--and he is introduced by his brother (twin):

[leftofcool]

4. I believe it is.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

5. That's a strong ticket.

They'd have my vote in a heartbeat.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

6. No Sale.

[winter is coming]

7. No, thanks. n/t

[onehandle]

9. Could be. And they are both Democrats. Right this very second. nt

[workinclasszero]

12. Yes

a big plus in my book!

[kath]

21. Sorry, DLCers are DINOs

And should go back to the Repub party where they belong. Time to clear all the infiltrators out of our party.

[sufrommich]

27. We should whittle the party down to its purity

of essence,like the GOP did,it worked out so well for them.

[cascadiance]

29. You like DLCers who were enabled by Koch money and people who helped it to power in this party?

I DON'T! And their corporatist agenda over the years in their various rendition as DLCers or "Third Way"ers is pretty obvious to those who pay attention.

[stevenleser]

36. As a friend and former senior member of Jesse Jackson's Presidential campaign team often says...

... if some of the folks/groups in your coalition don't make you uncomfortable, your coalition isn't big enough.

[onehandle]

32. The Democratic Nominee and Our Next President!

[rsmith6621]

10. NOPE

Hillary suggesting is a clear sign she need to catch up to Bernie Sanders anyway she can. The Grassroots say Bernie, The Media says Hillary.

Hillary will say anything and not mean anything she says or does. She will get my vote only by default.

[workinclasszero]

11. I hope so

We better stop Trump/Carson or we are **cked as a nation.

This ticket would kick their fat republican asses all over the country!

[FlatBaroque]

13. LMFAO

F'ing done with identity politics

[NorthCarolina]

14. The establishment no doubt gets wet just thinking about that prospect. eom

[Arugula Latte]

15. It could be ... Ugh.

[Dawgs]

17. We're screwed.

Get used to saying President Bush again if it is.

[LettuceSea]

20. I hope it works. Looks good on paper

My hispanic BF thinks he's fake and smarmy, but a lot of white people think he will be a perfect fit for the Latino voter.

[Fawke Em]

54. Thanks for saying that.

My Hispanic friends think the same way.

My mayor would be more representative of the Latino community (and a lot less fake):

Madeline Rogero

[zappaman]

24. Could be?

[99Forever]

35. If it is...

...well...

Figure it out.

[Dying Eagle]

37. Wall Streets Dream Ticket, SMH

[LibDemAlways]

38. Putting a guy named Castro on the

ticket, a name associated with a repressive Communist dictatorship (and I know there is no connection) would be a huge mistake. Clinton/Castro. Please, no.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

45. Especially if she's trying to claim she's the anti-socialist.

[StevieM]

46. I see what you are saying, but what about nominating a guy named Barack Hussein Obama?

That didn't seem to hurt us too much--he won twice.

I think Castro deserves to be judged on his merits.

[firebrand80]

40. When Justice Ginsburg retires

I suspect we won't be hearing much from the "centrist dems = republicans" crowd

[WI_DEM]

47. I agree

we need a democratic president elected in 2016 no matter if it's Hillary, Bernie, or any of the others.

[fbc]

43. ugh... It would be good for me though

I could just start ignoring politics forever.

[Maineman]

44. No

[Hell Hath No Fury]

49. Well, that IS the DNC plan, no?

I though that was a given.

[TSIAS]

50. Clinton/O'Malley

I can't see any other reason why O'Malley is in the race other than to raise his profile to eventually be Clinton's VP.

[MADem]

51. I sure hope so! It's a great combo! nt

[Autumn]

53. I hope not. eom

[tularetom]

55. No fuckin way

[BlueStater]

56. Well, it's a good emetic, anyway.
