Current ticket predictions?

[WVdemocrat]

I'm skeptical that Clinton will choose Booker. There is already much grumbling about her being too cozy with Wall Street, imagine choosing as VP the man who defended Romney and has done nothing to hide his relations with New York's financial institutions.

I think what would be more damaging is the fact that he isn't married. The media would always be asking "is he gay?" and "who is the new woman the vice president has been seen with?" It's a liability Clinton could do without. She'll go with a safe pick. Until Booker gets hitched, there will always be questions surrounding him.

Need Va in order to tip OH; Castro is my choice; too.

[henster]

How many of you do not realize Castro is not even fluent in Spanish while Kaine is. He adds nothing to the ticket other than his ethnicity, Kaine locks down VA and he speaks Spanish no experience issues either. If your looking for a Latino then Xavier Becerra would be great, but stop this Castro nonsense.

Booker is more anti Wall Street than Hillary.

LOL at your blatant double standards. So no matter how much Hillary votes and talks like a liberal, it will never be enough to take the stain of "neoliberal Wall Street shill" (based off no evidence, I might add) off of her. Meanwhile, Bain defender Cory Booker makes a single vote and is immediately redeemed?

lol. You guys sure do love your convoluted anti-Hillary scenarios that have about a 0.00000001% chance of happening. Gillibrand is basically Hillary's protege, and one of her earliest and most enthusiastic backers.

[daveosupremo]

Gillibrand won't challenge Hillary, but if Hillary exits the race for one reason or another, multiple candidates, including possibly Gillibrand, will jump in. I've said from the beginning that Gillibrand is the strongest GE candidate the democrats have. Of course, I also thought Hillary would stay out because she's so immensely flawed, so what do I know. I maintain that Hillary can't win, especially if the media isn't with her. I just figured she would ignore the manufactured hype and stay out. Like IceSpear, I overestimated  her.

I cannot predict what the ticket will be but I wanted to respond to this.

Hillary's well aware more than anyone how much the media hates her. If she's decided to run in spite of that, then she must think she can handle it differently. The media are not an entirely unmovable beast, but she has to play her hand right. Show genuine character and emotion. Meet voters in unscripted scenarios (her Iowa trip was filled with pre-selected party activists which is meh). Don't be obviously secretive and stonewalling. Go on SNL and poke fun at yourself. Take forward-looking positions on issues (pretty much what Rand Paul's been doing; the difference is, when Paul does it, it's like he's pouring acid into the face of his party's base. If Clinton did it, it would be like sprinkling honey into the mouths of her party's - did they notice the positive buzz her "50 state" leak got?). And cut ties to the Clinton foundation as definitively as possible. That thing's a behemoth that will keep journalists employed for years.

When she hired Gary Gensler, the reaction of the commentariat at places like HuffPo was "no f'ing way. I don't believe her. It's all lies." And then they'd point to her donations or some other previously reported thing about her to show she is cozy with Wall Street. That's the reaction she should be going for. Disbelief. Because it shows that she's pushing against the negative narrative about her, rather than confirming it. She just has to do it consistently and at least somewhat convincingly. That, I'm not sure if she can do. But it depends on her team as well, IMO.

[The Other Castro]

Basically, I can only see Clinton not on the ticket if she dies or something completely terrible happens like Bill dying. In that situation, it'd probably turn into a Gillibrand v.s. Biden primary, with Gillibrand coming out on top. That has less than a 1% chance of happening though.

Clinton/O'Malley: Moderate + Moderate

Bush/Christie: This will be an unpopular move for Bush, but he's smarter than to choose a right-wing extremist for VP.
