Out of the plausible male presidential nominees, which one is the *least* likely to pick a woman as his running mate?
My gut says Sanders. Because of Sanders's age, he might put more of a premium on picking a running mate who is simpatico with him on governing vision, since the prospects of someone that old having to step down part way through his term is very real. And there are only so many feasible choices in that regard.
For every one of the other plausible male Dem. presidential nominees, I think the probability of them picking a woman as veep is very high. Even for Sanders it's high, just not quite as high.
What male and plausible nominee is more ideologically compatible with him than the female Warren? Merkley, maybe?
