Looking at the recent poll that had Clinton losing to Trump on the economy she might start looking for someone who can bring a solid economic record to the ticket.

I don't think so just because it would allow Kasich to pick who fills his Senate seat and it would not be a lock that a Dem would win once an election was held.
Perhaps. Didn't really think about that. I figured he would be a perfect fit because he has some progressive credentials for her base, but is still part of the Washington establishment.

Plus he's white and "looks the part." Using Clinton triangulation logic, there's no need to rock the boat and pick a minority when you're running against an open racist who will get crushed among all non-white voters anyway.

i agree.

she just needs someone who looks the part and can swing some independents over.

Warren's not as much to the left as people believe. I think she'd be a good choice. Yeah two women on the ticket is risky but that shyt means more enthusiasm which is severely lacking in the Clinton campaign.

I don't think she should chase enthusiasm, people will be hyped regardless once the election gets closer... Her getting warren is too much for a risk tbh, that's just my opinion.. I think it can just really backfire.

Warren is not too far to the left like @Gentility said. She's not to the left of the DNC on anything besides Wall Street reform. That is her specialty--she is a regulator. Warren cannot bring in the Sanders wing in any capacity because Sanders' campaign was about ideas, not a person despite what people try to tell you. Warren consistently lost tens of thousands of likes/supporters across social media by the hour right after she endorsed Hillary. The Democrats don't have anyone that can bring in disaffected left-leaning independents. The Warren pick only makes sense for Warren who can then run for President after Hillary. She won't help the Democrats in November, and she's from a reliable Democratic state too. Biden, at least had PA credentials. LOL@too much to the left in an election where there is populist outrage everywhere. @Mephistopheles is right that Sherrod Brown is the logical pick, but he's popular in Ohio and it's hard to figure out if they would win that seat back. That's not a risk you take when all signs point you to getting mopped the fukk up in 2018 and 2020. Kaine or Castro will be the pick. HRC is not moving left for the general she's moving to the right and trying to get disaffected Republicans. She'll pick a centrist who looks ready for the job. All she has to do is not be Trump.

That's my weekly political post.

Ok I just assumed she was too much to the left... Its more that she's a woman... I just feel that the election to lose is in the rust belt and Florida and I would say someone too much to the left would not make a impact there... But ya I agree.

If Hillary and Tim Kaine are supposed to be the Democrat party for the next 16 years then I might fukk around and vote for Trump.

I am off the Castro idea myself. He was much more visible early last year but as the campaign went on he became less of a public surrogate amid some issues with him being accused of selling troubled mortgages to Wall Street.
I do think if Warren isn't the pick that Hillz will go for a minority male instead of a bland tub of mayonnaise like Kaine just because her VP will be the person who "Has Next" and I think the Dems are going to continue to ride the identity politics train to the White House and what better way to follow the 1st Black and 1st Woman presidents than with the 1st Latino?
The question is going to be just who that Latino politician will be?

Yes, Warren is too far left to attract independents. Thats why Sanders did so poorly with them.
