So the US doesn't have a monopoly on terrible racists:

Seriously, that album is terribly depressing.
Also on Facebook, Stacey Dash annihilated Hillary with a one sentence slam.

Torn between Kaine and Warren as my predictions, but I'm thinking Kaine.

Meanwhile, the GOP is plotting against whomever Hillary picks:
Tim Kaine will make the electorate's penis aggressively flaccid
Biden was the far better pick for Obama in 08. Kaine is an always safe pick. He reminds me of Al Gore. Obama found a more exciting and more complementary pick in Biden, even though Kaine was also at the top of the veepstakes. I hope Clinton also finds her better pick instead of settling for Kaine.
Perez and Becerra are both progressive enough to not look bad to the Progressive Wing, but they probably won't be picked :/
These are weak attacks. Of course both sides will try to undermine the other's VP pick but these strategies don't seem very resonant. Maybe the GOP has a VP curse ever since McCain picked Palin. God I still remember the shock and swift downfall from all that, despite the momentary boost she gave to the ticket. Then Ryan, a "smart pick" completely imploded during the VP debate with only Fox News propping him up by arguing that Biden bullied him.
I can't wait to see who Trump picks. I think it be a real curveball pick. More surprising than Palin?
Edit: Although to be honest, I do think Castro would be a bad pick, Kaine would be a boring pick that doesn't take advantage of the political potential of choosing a VP, and Warren would be a mistake in my mind.
Put me down for Warren, they've already started campaigning together.
I do ultimately think it's whoever she gels with the best.
Good luck with that GOP. You are going to need all the luck you can get come November.

Most of it went to RNC?
I like Becerra over anyone else on the known list. He's definitely got more energy than Kaine, is actually latino, speaks spanish, has been a part of house leadership, seems qualified. Maybe there is baggage there, but he seems like a better pick than Kaine.
I thought more strongly it would be Kaine, but his appearance on Meet the Press this morning where he just flat out says "I am boring" made me think twice. He's got the Rob Portman disease, he checks all the boxes and is from a critical swing state but damn if he isn't incredibly plain.
Exactly. Aside from Kaine, he's the most qualified on the list, has a good story, is good on message and well spoken, more handsome than all of the others, we'll known in the Hispanic community, all in addition to everything you said.
It all comes down to chemistry and lack of skeletons, but I have my fingers crossed. Would love to vote for a fellow Mexican American. Would be a very cool thing for me and my family.
What? Plz explain.

Yeah, I like them both. I'm super on Team Perez, but I'll throw in for Warren as the Veep pick.
Edit: And I think Chris Christie is going to be Trump's VP.
I think depending on how tomorrow's rally with Warren goes, we'll have a better idea.
Just every other host is coming out to say register and vote. They had one short segment on the Orlando shooting and how the Brexit is doing people dirty. And Tracey Elice ross endorsed Hillary.

Democrat: Warren.
Republican: Gingrich.
Republican: Gingrich.
It sounds like Gingrich was eliminated after he criticized Trump over the Curiel flap, and Sessions seems to be the top pick at the moment.
lolol trump dump
Also I don't really remember Biden "destroying" Ryan in the debate. I seem to remember it being pretty split and liberals FREAKING OUT over Obama sleepwalking through the first debate. Hopefully Hillary learned how Romney completely snuck his way to the center in that debate and is prepared for Trump.
I hope not because a meltdown against Trump.... oh wait Hillary is much better than Obama at debates. She will devour Trump's soul.

I was wrong about JEB! and I am probably wrong this time as well. Got Hillary right but that was an easy guess. I thought I read Gingrich got back ion his good side after the judge incident?

Thought Carson wasn't even being considered, especially since Carson is the head of Trump's Veep committee?
That's really risky since Carson only ran to sell books
http://www.theonion.com/graphic/trumps-potential-vp-picks-53138
"Ben Carson (Retired Neurosurgeon): The former presidential candidate is likely to wander onto the RNC stage regardless of whether or not he earns the vice presidential nomination."
Then they'll just put him on the ticket because why not. Hey look a minority!
In that case I'm sure he'll gladly pick himself to be the VP. Imagine the book sales!
I'm gonna go with Warren and Gingrich too. Was thinking about picking Christie, but I think he's just a McDonalds gopher now

My god, imagine a VP debate with Carson versus anyone. It would put everyone to sleep.
Aren't Corker and Cotton on Trump's list? It's hard to keep track.
No way it's Newt. I think Trump wanted him but dismissed him after he bashed the judge comments. I bet that hurt Trump's feelings. Palin and all of the other clown car nominees seem too silly for him, as much as I'd like to see them happen.
It's gonna be Sessions.

Which makes my Franken prediction even better!

The Dream is close to being over, bro, but we'll go down as happily as we can.
I've been down on Becerra because of that cocaine trafficker pardon deal, but maybe I have been looking at it the wrong way. Maybe it would be just what we need to fully bring out the GOP anti-hispanic racism. I just don't like how it ties right back to Bill. Otherwise I think Becerra is great.
