    Although the rumor mill today is saying that Hillary is considering a woman for VP, so of course the first name that leapt out of that rumor mill was Elizabeth Warren. I'd be surprised if Warren accepted, but Hillary's gotta do something to convince all the Bernie Bros to vote for her, and Warren as VP or promised as Secretary of the Treasury might accomplish that.

    Deval Patrick and Julian Castro. The short list of short lists.
    Some youth and energy please.

    I'm really bummed out that it seems as if Sanders will not be getting the Democratic nomination. Realistically, I believe Sanders was the only real shot at making this citizenship viable for most working people again. So much for that happening.....on this one I didn't expect much though. I'll take Hillary over Trump any day though.....while America continues to become less viable at least the working poor in some states will have access to Medicaid. Crumbs off the table compared to other countries but at least it's something.

    I don't trust Hillary though....she's too cozy with the elite and has received huge speaking fees from the social class that causes many of America's problems. I find her to be the lesser of the evils on offer in 2016 and will as always vote my social class. But I'm not blind. The woman does carry with her enough baggage to sink the Titanic. Rob

    I watched her on GMA yesterday and was impressed much more than I expected to be.

    Undoubtedly, the entire interview was scripted and she knew the questions way before hand. Shes too experienced to get blindsided by the media. Another strength, her ability to get away with things other people have been in trouble over. I don't think most people understand how powerful and connected she is. Ted Cruz and Donald Drumpf are pikers comparatively speaking. She is so influential even the Republican establishment is pulling for her.

    voting for a Prez you hope will die or be impeached in office because of their VP pick takes it to a whole new level. McCain's choice may have been wiser there - it's job security.

    It didn't seem like we've had many strong wise leaders to pick from this time (if we ever do?). I like Bernie and might be my top choice, but he is sort of a one song pony, a bit of a crank, and the cards are not falling his way anyway. Baring any bizarre policies, I tend to pick by the one strongest on the environment. If Bernie is out, that leaves Hillary. Second issue is health care and by my way of seeing things, that also leaves Hillary. I can live with what else comes along with her. Obama will have a replacement whipping boy or girl whoever gets elected.

    Hillary will beat whoever the Republican's run and I am glad. I liked Bernie too but never thought he could get elected. He has done better then I thought he would. Both her and Bill have an uncanny ability just like REagan did to not have things stick to them.

    I was kind of hoping this would be the first election where I actually voted for someone (Sanders), instead of going out to vote against someone. But it's not looking like it will happen.

    Clinton I won't be voting for as much as I'll be voting against whoever she ends up running against.
