If by "lose Bernie voters" you mean they won't vote for Trump, I agree. 

A large portion of them may choose to not vote and chase Pokemon instead though.

I know many accomplished people voting Trump and I the only reason I can come up with is fear.   He is backing the cops 100%, US jobs/trade agreements, keeping out terrorists and illegals without being pc this draws a lot of votes while praying on fear.

Anyone with half a brain should know his trade ideas would be disastrous.

This doesn't matter to anyone but the people already voting HRC.    You need votes, he will not get you enough.   All Trump does is lie and he keeps getting more support, you need to combat that.   IMO Warren is the only answer.

You're placing way too much importance on the VP pick.  They rarely move the needle much and Hillary isn't going to pull a McCain and tap a dullard.

Personally I don't care. I want Warren because she has been so splendid in taking Trump down. 

Governing can come later. For me the only priority is defeating Domald Trump.

How has Warren been splendid in taking Trump down? She calls him names and he responds. They both act like they are 10 years old.

The media loves Warren so that pick would get all sorts of excitement, but if it's a VP debate of Kaine vs. Pence, that may not be watched at all.

If Kaine helps bring VA, it's a slam dunk pick for Clinton. Look at the EC map from 2012. If Clinton holds FL and VA, she could lose PA and OH and garner 287 electoral votes. That assumes the rest vote as they did in 2012. Keep in mind, Trump will need to defend NC and AZ to make sure she doesn't flip a red state.

I don't think Kaine brings VA. Nobody votes for Kaine or Pence. Hillary does have a huge advantage on the map though.

 
The Democrat VP pick shouldn't be about the 2016 election, as that's likely in the bag.  They should use the VP slot with an eye toward 2024.  Give it to someone you consider a rising star (Latino a plus) and give them a protected platform for the next 8 years to build up some voter street cred.

While that didn't work out for the Republicans with Quayle, we live in a different time with a slavish pro-Democrat media to provide cover for any "potatoe" type gaffes.

With Hillary's unfavorables? Nothing is in the bag in November. She should focus on winning first. Opportunities for the rising stars will have to come along as they do,her campaign team can't worry about that now.

Agreed - I think Hillary is going to win, but you can't underestimate Trump (even though I am in this very sentence). She's not concerned with the next Democratic President in 8 years as she is about making a choice that helps her now. Personally, I don't think Kaine does much, but I'd probably say the same thing about every pick.

 
If this shooting in Munich is another mass shooting, Hillary may have to do what Trump did last week, and lay low for until tomorrow.

Was she planning on announcing today?

 
Sounds like it's going to be Kaine. Probably a good choice from the "gotta be comfortable working with" and "has to be able to be President" but he sure isn't going to get anyone too excited.

Kaine is ready to be POTUS if needed. He locks up an important swing state. 

But I'm not sure a single person is running in for the Pence Kaine debate. What a snooze. 

 
Kaine

Booker

Perez

Vilsack

- I was hoping Perez would move up to be the front runner. Don't know much about Kaine. Booker would be the "talk of the town" choice but I don't know how much he would add. Vilsack, no.

Man this Munich thing is real bad timing for Hillary. Steals some news attention from VP pick day. Plus, if she postpones like Trump did, it gets pushed to a boring Saturday, and also, leaves her unable to say 'my campaign goes forward regardless', like how Obama continued campaigning during the economic slowdown while McCain suspended his to fly back to the Senate. And, postponing only draws attention to the fact that the last terrorist attack was so recent, the day Trump postponed, which makes it seem like America can't get anything done with attacks everywhere, and that only helps the Donald. Or she risks announcing today and looking heartless. Lose-lose.

Even for a shtick account, it takes some kind of chutzpah to say that attacks in Munich and Paris "make it seem like America can't get anything done" and are therefore somehow good for the candidate who just two days ago threatened to skip out on our NATO obligations. Do you think people don't know where Munich and Paris are? 

Five stars for this one, top notch fishing.

Maybe, but it's not a Democratic Party pick. It's a Hillary pick for her election.

Strasburg had a crappy outing yesterday afternoon, Nats' lead in the NL East is down to 4.5 games.

Also the whole "bigoted lunatic accepts major party nomination for president and launches into a frightening hour long rant of demagoguery and intolerance" thing was a bit of a downer. 

Mostly the baseball though.

Hey dude David Duke announced a Senate run in LA. It's like some crappy sequel where the bad guy you saw riddled with bullet holes in the original is amazingly revived at the beginning of Part II. Count your blessings.

 
Saints Saints Saints. 

There are scummy people in every campaign. Rotten people. But when you post that stuff in THIS thread, the Hillary Clinton thread, you are implying that Hillary was somehow connected to this effort. Which, IMO, is highly unwarranted.

1. She did. And?

2. Was Bernie Sanders supposed atheism ever raised publicly? 

3. Would it have made any difference if it had been raised?

4. Yes the DNC wanted Hillary to win. Suppose they hadn't? Would that have made any difference?

I'll answer all of these questions for you:

1. And nothing.

2. No.

3. No.

4. No.

Don't change the argument, you called out Saints because posting this in the Hillary thread because it implied Hillary might be involved in the DNC favoring Hillary.  You really have to have your head completely up your ### to not think Hillary's campaign was not acting in concert with the DNC.

I don't disagree with any of this but it doesn't matter now to this election.  Too late.  Unless Bernie goes Cruz.

I guess I am missing something. What is the problem with the DNC working with the Hillary campaign?
