WestCoastRunner Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Now, I know that Hillary Clinton has not officially said she will run, but you can bet she is! I would like to see her pick Elizabeth Warren as her running mate but sounds like a hispanic would make more sense. Who do you think she should pick as her running mate?

On Guard for Thee Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 How about Collin Powell. I know he is somewhat tainted from his association with Bush, but he did buck Bush (pardon my expresion) until they brought the boom down on him. He seems like a smart man to me and of course we see now that America has been able to accept a black man in the white house. Quote

WestCoastRunner Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 I think having two women on the ticket would be great for american politics. After all, the only people who wouldn't like this idea wouldn't vote for Hillary anyway. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch.

On Guard for Thee Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 He's too old, but If he were younger, he wouldn't be a bad choice. Yes you are right, I didn't realize he was the age he is until I just looked him up. OK I got two more ideas, one serious, one not so much. Michelle Obama, although I don't reckon America would allow two women at the helm, and then there's Dave Letterman. He's out of a job just in time to start a campaign. A little humor wouldn't hurt, would it? Quote

Michelle Obama would be great and like I said previously, anyone who didn't like two women on the ticket wouldn't vote for Hillary anyway. However, I don't think that Michelle is into politics like her husband is. Dave Letterman, hmmm, now that could be interesting.

WestCoastRunner Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Posted April 25, 2014 I just read that It would not be the first time two women have run together: (Jill Stein and Cheri Honkala were running mates on the Green Party ticket in 2012.). However, it would be the first time for a major party. Quote I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass. - Maya Angelou
Shady Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Hillary Clinton and Colin Powell could be the geriatric ticket! I've got their campaign symbol already ... Clinton/Powell '16 Quote

Clinton/Powell '16 Ronald Reagan was 70 years old when he was elected. And I suspect Hillary is now feeling invigorated and refreshed with a grandchild on the way. What if it's a girl!

He was, but he didn't have a vice president that was almost 80. Anyways, who cares what sex her grandchild might be? She's already left a legacy. You're too focused on identity politics, and cults of personality rather than actual ideas and policies. Quote

On Guard for Thee Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 He probably wouldn't want the job, and that brings me to a statement from Plato who said those who seek power are inherently unsuitable to weild it, or words to that effect. So we might have to do some armtwisting but it might be worth it. Quote

The_Squid Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 He's too old, but If he were younger, he wouldn't be a bad choice. Hillary will be 69 or so in 2016... That's too old. Best to leave the country to the next generation. Quote
WWWTT Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Sure Hillary is going to make a run for it, and why not? She is among the entitled political elite with a strong network for garnishing political contributions! I just hope at some point in time the US public realizes that she is just another step in the wrong direction! WWWTT Quote Maple Leaf Web is now worth $720.00! Down over $1,500 in less than one year!

kimmy Posted April 25, 2014 Report Posted April 25, 2014 Or Mary Landrieu, Louisiana Senator. Is she the one who got roasted on live TV during Hurricane Katrina? Hate to say it, but I'm kind of with Shady here: the idea that the person should be chosen based on identity-politics credentials is pretty sick. It makes me think of a focus-group sketch I saw on The Daily Show a few years ago. "What did you think of his comments about the middle east, Jew?" "What do older voters think of what he just said, Senior?" "Did that speech appeal to women, Woman?" "Christian-- oh, you're Christian AND Black! You're TWO things!" Although, one might argue that a decision-making process like "We'll pick Biden because Obama needs an old-white dude to reassure old white voters" or "Mitt needs a young dynamic running mate, so we'll pick Ryan" is also identity politics. One could also make the case that "we need a VP candidate who will excite the evangelicals" or "we need a candidate that will get the Tea Party faction behind the ticket" or similar considerations are also, in a sense, identity politics. -k Quote (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Friendly forum facilitator! ┬──┬◡ﾉ(° -°ﾉ)
