Seriously, do you think a 77-year-old candidate would or should pick a 78-year-old with a heart condition as his running mate? Two old white guys? Seriously?

Look at the voting blocks.

This unites the moderates, left, aa, hispanic and even the bernie bro's who will accept vp (albeit grumbling).

It covers all the bases and would steamroll over Trump.

9. If you want to cover all the bases, why not Warren and Buttigieg?

Or Warren and Klobuchar? Or Biden and Warren? I can't think of a more impractical and improbable ticket than Biden/Bernie.

15. It is better to have an old white woman than an old white man on the ticket.

Better yet would be to have a young black and Latinx woman on the ticket.

I like them both, but we have such a diverse party, and I don't think a ticket with two old white males is reflective of who we are as a party.

particularly black women.

Running two North-Eastern basically-octogenarian white men would kill AA voter turnout, which would wipe out any chance Dems have of taking the Senate, and could potentially lose the gains made in House races in 2018.
