Of the 51% supporting Clinton, 50% somewhat support her; 47% strongly support her. floriduck Jun 2016 #27

Sanders as Clinton's running mate? gg4usa Jun 2016 #28

Sanders doesn't like Hillary. Why would she choose someone that wouldn't get along with her? NurseJackie Jun 2016 #34

You are wrong gg4usa Jun 2016 #123

Their vision may be similar in many areas, but in my opinion, he clearly dislikes Hillary… NurseJackie Jun 2016 #124

You don't give them enough credit gg4usa Jun 2016 #130

Remember when he said that Hillary was not qualified to be president? NurseJackie Jun 2016 #139

I am a Clinton supporter from the start gg4usa Jun 2016 #144

Hillary won for a reason. More people preferred her to Bernie. Her running mate choice ... NurseJackie Jun 2016 #147

VP is for someone who is a team player and willing to set geek tragedy Jun 2016 #87

Meaning what? Matt_in_STL Jun 2016 #101

Meaning he demands too much attention for a VP. And he's not a team player. Lil Missy Jun 2016 #103

So he's not a team player for the past years he has voted in line with Democrats? Matt_in_STL Jun 2016 #111

No, is is not a good pick for VP, for the reasons I stated above. n/t Lil Missy Jun 2016 #137
