Bernie now dictating to Hillary how to pick her VP

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

As somebody who's backed Bernie since May of 2015, he should let the presumptive nominee do what she wants.

This. In fact Hillary should pick a mainstreamer like Booker or Kaine or Hickenlooper.

Best tactic to get a Trump presidency 10/10

Yup.

Turns out you need the WHOLE party's vote to win, and a significant portion of the party has said it doesn't want a mainstreamer.

Kind of the problem that that portion of the party thinks it speaks and reflects a bigger proportion of the electorate than it actually does.

Agree with Raphael above.

Okay! Let's keep thinking that way.

Boy do I love Unity.

Um... it's true. But I'm all for getting together, and I've been calling for Hillary to pick someone from the Democratic left, but not someone who is going to alienate the middle, which is where elections are still decided. We're at a time when the party bases are shifting further from the middle, we can't pretend that isn't the case. We're fortunate however, that (to paraphrase Maher) the GOP has shifted into the psychiatric ward.
