2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Why picking a female VP would be advantageous to Hillary [View all]
Ok, maybe I'm the only odd ball who thinks this, but I think that Hillary should pick a woman for VP, and if not Warren, then some other female politician.
I just think that would truly be a historic national ticket, not one but two women, and so interesting to watch a race between the "women ticket" against the traditional "white male ticket", (because I'm pretty sure Trump will choose another white male for his VP)
Would that be a fascinating contest, or what?
And, since women outnumber men as far as the US population goes, it would seem to hold a big advantage for Hillary to do something like this.
Am I way off base, or what?
