I believe Mrs.BHO would be the best choice for running mate.
Most qualified centrist Afro-American female. She would galvanize the minority voters. Based on BHO she would not follow elitist liberal lost causes as per deplorable HRC. She claims to be not interested, but can she walk away?
Do not mistake "I am a good first lady" for "my politics are the same as my husband's," Luee, regardless of what you think of HRC.
And it's a hoot hearing you describe Hillary Clinton as following "elitist liberal lost causes" given that one of the reasons she lost was that she was seen as a corporatist moderate by the "elitist liberal lost causes" advocates.
I also think that only one of the women being discussed is a threat to your precious avoidance of liberality and that is Elizabeth Warren. She is not only far to Biden's left, she already has his respect and his ear in ways Bernie never could. You should be grateful she isn't Black.
HRC lost the working class in heartland states by attacking deplorable white supremacist unionists and dirty filthy coal miners in the last stages of the campaign.
Which is (a) hardly "elitist liberal," and (b) not wrong on the first half, though it was not about unionists, and erroneous on the latter. She did not attack the coal miners. Rather, she told them the truth. their jobs either had gone or were going and would not be coming back. (c) She made the comment. "we're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business," in MARCH, which is hardly the "late stages" of the campaign.
"We're going to put a lot of coal miners and coal companies out of business. We're going to make it clear that we don't want to forget those people," Clinton said. "Those people labored in those mines for generations, losing their health, often losing their lives to turn on our lights and power our factories. Now we've got to move away from coal and all the other fossil fuels, but I don't want to move away from the people who did the best they could to produce the energy that we relied on."
The first line was ill-conceived for a presidential campaign, but it was just true. It wasn't liberal, other than that it was honest about the industry vs. the lies that Trump was telling. In the 4 years after she said it, there have been
more mining jobs than in March 2016 for a total of ONE month, by 100 jobs nationally. It's never reached February 2016.
“You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton said. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up.”
She said the other half of Trump’s supporters “feel that the government has let them down” and are “desperate for change.”
“Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well,” she said.
And which part of that do you disagree with, Luee?!
