Trump is the GOP's fault. They treated him as a joke for so long and didn't take him seriously. Now it's too late and they'll probably lose the election.

He would be dead weight. She needs someone who would be able to be a meaningful addition to her administration.


Plus, Bernie's stans would not vote for her even if he was VP. The majority of them are going to be so demoralized by their dreams of utopia being smashed. They will stay home. The rest will vote Trump to spite Hillary.

I think that would definitely gain more Bernie's supporters attention than anyone else but she doesn't have the current relevancy that Bernie had from this election.

But a dual-women ticket would slay

But this is why you're wrong. Primaries attract voters closer to the parties' extremes, this being no exception. It's not at all that "half of the Democratic base" has turned against her. It's that a little under half of primary voters like Bernie more.

She's not in trouble for the general. Hell, most of Bernie's base is composed of young white college liberals who will do everything in their power to stop Trump.

Previously I thought Bernie would be a good VP pick; but considering how the youth aren't as invigorated as we have been led to believe, and that most of the Liberal base will end up voting for Clinton to avoid a GOP president anyway, I think Hillary's goal should be to pick a VP that will bring her closer to the centre and attract Independent voters. Castro obviously the big one, although a more recognisable name+pick from a battleground state would be good too.

Exactly.

Same if Bernie got the nomination and those of us who supported Clinton in the primaries.

A Trump presidency is too scary for true liberals (as in, not people attracted to politics now that it's become popular on social media) to ignore.

Bernie's appeal comes from the fact that he's "anti-establishment". Hillary and Bernie have not attacked each other as much as past primaries and Hillary has purposely moved towards Bernie's ideas.

Bernie is not Obama, especially amongst his base. If they go against Trump, who's viewed as "anti-establishment", then Bernie can help combat that idea.

What if he keeps on this more liberal path he been on though?

No way, Warren is needed in the Senate.

College of Charleston kids are fuming at Hillary

A few campaign ads citing his racist, misogynistic quotes will be enough. They will come back to haunt Trump in the GE.

Hence why it'll likely be Kaine or Warner, both of whom are beloved here in what could continue to be a highly contentious state - same with Castro.

Given how this election has went so far I'm not even sure anymore.

Who would be better than Castro? Like, who else is even worth talking about

Again, a lot of Bernie's appeal comes from the fact that he's viewed as "anti-establishment". Don;t underestimate that. People like that. That's why Trump is likely getting the republican nomination.

Most of the exit polls from most of these states show that voters don't find her honest or trustworthy. There's factual proof of that. Even she's talked about it. It's an issue.

She will never name Bernie her VP, and Bernie would never accept the offer

Kings Kaine or Warner!

Even the GOP loves them here.

Good point.

I read this AWFUL article recently, by an actual House member no less, that called for Obama to nominate her to the Supreme court, and I was just like

Two Things:

1.) Bernie supporters will complain at first, but believe the vast majority of them WILL get in line, hold their noses, and vote for Clinton in November if it comes down to CLINTON OR TRUMP. She's getting Bernie's base no matter what. Bernie Sanders supporters will be hurt at first, but they are the most Anti-Trump base there is right now, and I don't think they'll allow him to win.

2.) Once a democratic nominee is chosen, don't forget that Barack & Michelle Obama WILL start campaigning, and once Obama starts touring the country and explaining that his legacy is at stake and a Republican win in November will erase his legacy, people are going to become real enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton REAL quick. Obama is still hugely popular, despite what the right wing media wants you think.

Dang, the lead slipped to 49%
