Possible Running-Mates for Hillary Clinton

From that list I'd be very scared of Wendy Davis, Jay Nixon, Brian Schweitzer or Charlie Crist if I were any of the leading Republican candidates.

Why on earth would you be scared of Wendy Davis?  She has no experience, she got demolished in her election, and her only issue is abortion activism, which appeals primarily to women who were going to vote for Clinton anyway.  All she'll do is pull the ticket to the left while opening up a ton of weaknesses.

An all-woman ticket with a strong focus on women's rights issues will motivate women voters to make history and to protect all the women's movement's hard-won gains, especially contrasted with a misogynist like Trump or a fundamentalist like Carson. And with presidential-year turnout and the Hispanic vote solidly behind the Democrats, she has a great chance of delivering Texas to Hillary, giving her an unbreakable electoral lock.

No it won't because you're taking the democratic party's bait on "women's issues."  These are really democratic women's issues, and democrats are patronizingly trying to claim all women with them.  American women are, for example, only pro-choice by a 50-41 margin.  These are not "women's issues" and they are only going to repel Republican or Independent women with these positions.  Moderate women who agree with them also don't like being condescendingly told that if you're a woman you must take these positions.

Many women are married to very controlling men who are religious extremists. They are afraid their husband will beat or punish them if he overhears them telling a pollster they value their right to choose. But thanks to the secret ballot they are free to vote their conscience, exactly as the brave women of Colorado and Mississippi have done.

associating herself with Nixon would help a great deal I think

Yes! Missouri was a swing state as recently as 2008, and of course Bill Clinton won it twice. Missouri should be a centerpiece of Hillary Clinton's electoral college strategy. Nixon's middle-of-the-road handling of the Ferguson protests could both excite the liberal base and appeal to conservatives nationwide.

Jesus Christ what a disgusting post

It's typical that a man would get defensive when the reality of the patriarchy is laid out on the table. But with President Hillary, VP Wendy Davis and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, women will finally be able to break the highest glass ceiling in the land, safe from any attempts to return the office to men by Christianist or brogressive impeachers or assassins.

Missouri is voting GOP next year regardless of whether some sh**tty running mate from Missouri is chosen.

Sadly, Missouri just wasn't ready for a black president. With an all-white Arkansas/Missouri ticket, they're certain to return to the fold.

PPP is a notorious misogynist polling firm.

Your posts should be a South Park episode with white text flashing on the bottom of the screen that says "This is what Democrats actually believe"

South Park is a notorious misogynist television program.

Hillary isnt from AR

Though she wasn't born there, Hillary quick became as Arkansan as their emerald pine forests and alabaster trailer parks. And the progeny of the state's beloved First Couple, Chelsea, is renowned as the foremost daughter of the state, even better than Alice Walton.

Almost needless to say I aren't real ITT. Was playing a drinking game where I'd drink for each person who took my as-obvious-as-is-humanly-possible sarcasm seriously. Thankfully you people didn't kill me tonight, but it was close!
