Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumI'm concerned
Seems several posters are complaining that Hillary Clinton 's choices for VP are "boring" or unexciting. Please folks, we are looking for competency, not someone that will makes hearts a flutter. Let her pick someone who can assume the Office, if necessary. This is not a popularity contest, it's the choosing of the leader of the free world!

I want people that can do the job. That's exciting for me! The exciting thing is getting a government that runs & works as it should.

(52,739 posts)It is very easy for us to forget that the country we live in is terrified of and offended by women with power. That is true for Democrats as well as Republicans. And it is true for people who will SWEAR that it is not true of them.
A white guy to backstop her will make some voters feel better, consciously or unconsciously.
It's gross, but its reality.
Personally, I want Warren.

We need exciting to help us win the election, we need competent so the country will be in good hands. Its pretty simple, I don't understand all the debate over this.

(12,448 posts)I'm sure Hillary will pick someone who can step into the presidency if needed. I trust her to push past the din and choose a good VP. If he or she is also "exciting," fine.
