Sanders VP pick

[Progressive]

Who do YOU think Sanders would have chosen to be his VP? What would his short list have looked like?

[Kingpoleon]

I think he picks Ivy Taylor, Anthony Foxx, Linda Sanchez, or Henry Cuellar as his running mate. Maybe Kasim Reed or Anthony Gillum.

[Anzeigenhauptmeister]

Elizabeth Warren. Definitely. Without any doubt.

[Beet]

There would have been a lot of pressure to pick a woman. Nina Turner.

[Skunk]

I could see him picking Tulsi Gabbard.

[This is Eharding, guys]

Elizabeth Warren. Definitely. Without any doubt.

[Canis]

If Sanders got the nom in 2016 who do you think he would have picked as vp sorry if this thread as already been made.

[beesley]

I don't know where I read this, but Karen Bass was allegedly the favourite.

[Gracile]

Maybe Gabbard.

[MarkD]

I think Gabbard would have been the logical choice.

Yes, it has. Anyway, I'll stick to my given answer:

Elizabeth Warren. Definitely. Without any doubt.

Henry Cuellar

Eh?

[Fuzzy Bear Loves Christian Missionaries]

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR)

[LAKISYLVANIA]

Gabbard or Warren.

[Mister Mets]

Hmm. He would probably need someone who isn't a white guy, who can assuage centrists/ party loyalists without coming across as a sellout choice and who isn't also from New England. The Jewish Sanders probably also needs a Christian with a respectable family.

Castro seems like a potential establishment choice with ties to the Obama administration and limited enemies on the left. The same with Anthony Foxx.

Klobuchar was similarly positioned, although there was still the chatter she was abusive to her staff.

Sanders and Klobuchar definitely don't fit together. I've previously said Gabbard and Warren already.

Ro Khanna, Keith Ellison and Ayanna Pressley are also options. Jeff Merkley, Stacey Abrams as well. I think Pete Buttigieg, Julian Castro and Andrew Yang would work as well.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

A young female, preferably of color, with establishment appeal.

Tammy Duckworth, Kamala Harris, and CCM are some obvious choices.

[Continential]

What about Ruben Gallago? Young, Hispanic, and from Arizona

[NyIndy]

A young female, preferably of color, with establishment appeal.

Tammy Duckworth, Kamala Harris, and CCM are some obvious choices.

They were all running for first terms in the Senate in 2016, best picks would probably be Gillibrand or Klobuchar.

[Del Tachi]

Tammy Baldwin.

[HAnnA MArin County]

Tammy Baldwin.

A Jewish socialist and a liberal lesbian on the same ticket?! The deplorables will be foaming at their mouths! (I do agree though that Tammy Baldwin would be a bold choice.)

[DINGO Joe]

I think he would have gone the Bill Clinton-Al Gore route and chosen Mike Gravel.

[morgankingsley]

I think Gabbard would have been the logical choice.

I agree. But he would have done Warren
