When she's confronted on this she constantly tries to manipulate the audience by changing it to a subject that pulls at your emotions like 9/11 or Barack Obama. It's gross.

I've been keeping out of politics because I can't really vote. But just curious, how exactly does the DNC go about selecting their candidate that the whole party is supposed to be supporting?
Is it based on who they think will win(IE their favorite person) or is it based on polls that they run?

And people say a lot of things about her too, so I can see where they might be coming from now.

What are the chances of a Sanders-Warren ticket? I'd be so into that.

Fork 'em, Sparky!
Unfortunately, Warren is needed more in the Senate than as a powerless VP.

But she hasn't ruled out being vp. She just ruled out running for president. We can dream.

I want her in the white house even if it's just as VP. There is no way Hilary is gonna put another woman on the ticket so the best chance is with Bernie. If Bernie only does 1 term, Warren would be set up nicely for 2020.

I want her as VP too! Then in 4 or 8 yrs she can be president.
You mean by not responding to it at all?
I might be remembering wrong, but I think when Bernie raised the point, she completely ignored it and talked about something else. I mean, what's she going to say? "No, I didn't take that money?"

Its sad that you can put two men on a ticket no problem, but not two women. Kind of wish Hillary would just do it anyway, because she's the best selection to fill out the ticket and excite the liberal base..but I get why it is pretty much politically impossible.
I think she's too white, too old, and too left
You guys do realize how old she is right? If she was going to run this cycle was her chance, she'll be too old next time around.

Who would be a likely Hilary running mate? O'Malley?

It won't be O'malley imo. He doesn't really bring anything to the ticket and personally I think he's dug into Hillary too much for her to do him any favors. If he was more popular she would have overlooked it but I don't think she will.
Julian Castro and Time Kaine are the names I've heard thrown around. But for me Castro is way too inexperienced and Kaine is ok but not really anything exciting.

I haven't heard anything but what about Terry McAuliffe?

He'd be a solid pick, he'd be a solid backup QB for sure, but my feeling is Hillary will go young. The parties inability to form a proper state level ground game has hurt their pool of talent. She'll likely push somebody to the forefront just because there is a desperate need for some new faces. I think she'll go Castro or Corey Booker. I'm sort of against it because if anything happens to Hillary, I don't know if either are ready to take on being president. I'd prefer a safer option like Kaine or McAuliffe.
Yea same, she has deflected the question every time it's been asked. Should probably figure out an answer for it considering that line of attack is going to continue even if she's nominated.

Corey Booker would be a solid choice. He seems to have that bulldog mentality that you want out of a running mate.
There's no specific method, it just comes down to whoever a consensus forms around. Hillary had connections, a good history with the party, big financial resources, good polling, etc.
Party establishments also usually inherently want to support more moderate candidates who they believe will be more presentable in the general election, because the goal of the party careerists is to win.

And Hillary and Bernie are older.
Yeah, no thanks. An old Clinton insider isn't what a Hillary ticket needs if she wants to offers a ticket that's about moving forward and energizing the base.

This is getting embarrassing at this point. Dude is pandering hardcore for those minority votes.
Yes, this "Hit & Run" blog post with bad editorial is embarrassing and pandering.
Wait wut. How is this pandering?

As already mentioned, the "site" you linked is the worst kind of trash journalism out there.
1. He's been saying this for months that police officers who break the law need to be held accountable
2. Directly addressing issues that proportionately affect black people in this country is somehow pandering?

What in the seven blue hells are you talking about? There was absolutely nothing objectionable or disingenuous about Bernie's statements. It's just common sense, and it doesn't just apply to minorities.
Take your irrational hatred somewhere else. YOUR POST is embarrassing.

You're reading hardcore libertarian websites for dirt on Sanders now? Wow.
Starting to think you are doing a character and nobody has realized it yet.

Yeah it really was quite embarrassing. She really needs to have some strategy given she's been hit with it several times and has flopped spectacularly each time. I feel her though, as there's really not much she can say about the issue besides using dishonest deflections and just changing the subject entirely.

Yes along with him calling killer Mike an uncle Tom. I have NEVER seen such a hate on for someone.
Because in Galt's Gulch, racism doesn't exist.

Bernie pandered all day on MLK Jr day! 7000 people in Alabama came out to hear him. https://berniesanders.com/press-rel...-in-south-addresses-7000-at-birmingham-rally/
It's funny you say that because if she does start to lose, convincing Warren to run with her would absolutely split Bernie's base and guarantee Hilldawg a win.
Wouldn't help her in the General, but desperate people do desperate things.

Corey Booker would be an outstanding VP candidate. Dude's great with words and is a man of science 
Nah, posting this article is embarrassing. If you even bothered to watch his rallies, he's been advocating for police accountability all along.

Still looks overwhelmingly white.
Meanwhile I have nowhere else to post this and it's just hilarious. The Hufftington Post needs to stop offering blog services.

Bernie/Warren is infinitely more inspiring than Clinton/Castro (her rumored 1st choice for VP). In every public appearance of his that I've seen, he comes across like a frat bro who tried to clean up his act to have a political career. Not saying he actually is, but his persona, voice and speaking style convey that kind of image.
