8. Why would she want to run with a toxic, 74 year old retired politician?

No one likes Lieberman. Both sides regard him as a bit of a traitor.

She needs to go with either an up-and-coming younger politician from the south and/or west, or Elizabeth Warren.

Sanders basically took HIMSELF out of the running with that "speech" telling us all how much we suck. At this point I wouldn't vote for him for dog catcher--and I'm glad I don't have to make the choice.

He managed to go from my 2nd Choice to "Oh shut up, you grumpy Gus." I've had enough of his "BS."

The Senate is in session. He gets a paycheck from us. He needs to find his desk and get back to work.
