Maybe this is our next Vice President?

This thought was actually an idea of SamKnause a DUer during another post discussion...

Nina Turner's full speech today at Opening of 1st Bernei Sanders Office in Ohio

[Live and Learn]

1. She is good. nt

[JRLeft]

3. Yeah she is.

[DemocraticSocialist8]

2. I think she'd be good & would definitely drive out the Black vote

I think she'd be a good VP for Clinton too honestly but u don't see Hillary doing that. Bernie would know though that he'd have a VP who held his beliefs. I don't know if she'd be ready for that level of responsibility though.

[Dragonfli]

4. Damn! that is what a powerful speaker, a powerful woman looks like

She makes Hillary sound meek and unconvinced of her own words and quite frankly much weaker in comparison.
I'd like to watch her go head to head with Hill just to watch Hill fail miserably or grow so angry with frustration facing a REAL strong woman she'd reveal her inner hatred and racism. Hillary would either fold and collapse or foam at the mouth and require restraints for her own protection.

I want to watch it so bad just to see which of those directions it would take.

[BeanMusical]

15. +1 Absolutely!

[Hiraeth]

22. oh yeah!

[Fairgo]

5. Oh, I want more of this....

Go Nina!

[berniepdx420]

6. check out my post entitled .. The Revolution rolls into Birmingham

[Fairgo]

7. I will go there directly...

thanks!

[merrily]

8. Fine with me. She's brilliant.

Unless she has some yoooge drawback that I don't know anything about.


I have confidence in the Sanders campaign to vet properly and choose wisely.

Focusing on the primary is my job. Picking a VP is theirs.

[Betty Karlson]

9. I'd love that. She is awesome! eom

[highprincipleswork]

10. I do love her. And on the topic of "standing up", which is what we've all got to do....

The recent photogate incident shows how even when something is good and true and resonates with people, you gotta stand up for it and be counted. This has always been true, and never more so today.

So, thanks for standing up people. Let's stand up for our rights.

[SamKnause]

11. She is indeed awesome.

Think of all the glass ceilings that would be broken.

1st President that is Jewish.

1st President that is non Christian

1st President elected with the people's money

1st Vice President that is a woman

1st Vice President that is black

Talk about unity and differences.

[sorechasm]

12. Love Nina Turner!

Nina and Bernie would balance one another quite nicely on the ticket. She would also have his back.

(Would most look forward to VP candidate Nina Turner debating whichever running mate the GOP clown chooses...Nina vs. Chris Christie?...Who would want to miss that?)

[highprincipleswork]

13. Also, "This is the Moment" or "The Moment is Now" should be part of the Bernie message, IMHO.

[nikto]

14. I was born in the 50s, and Nina seems more like an old-school civil rights leader to me

No BS neoliberal compromise, "3rd-Way" garbage.

Just the real undiluted issues, presented with clarity and passion.

Like I said, "Old School".

[raouldukelives]

16. K&R and Amen! nt

[restorefreedom]

17. i frickin love nina!

she is never caught off guard by the corporate media and she always has bernies back. fantastic vp she would be!

[Paka]

18. Nina is awesome.

[thesquanderer]

19. State Senator is not enough experience to be President. (n/t)

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. How about Barbara Lee, then?

[Autumn]

24. Obama?

[thesquanderer]

25. Obama was a federal (U.S.) Senator, not merely a state Senator. (n/t)

[Autumn]

26. Correct, need more coffee, But no matter she has the skills.

Conventional democratic party wisdom says we need experienced people. I think the people are fed up with the wealthy party elites.

[thereismore]

21. I am in love. nt

[Autumn]

23. I would think I died and went to heaven. Sanders/Turner2016!!

[CentralMass]

27. She does kick @$$.

[TTUBatfan2008]

28. Nina is amazing

Passionate and willing to speak the truth.

[LWolf]

29. Wow.

She'd make a damned fine running mate and VP.

She's got a VOICE.

And...she is young enough, she is a perfect candidate to follow President Sanders to be the first woman POTUS.

[Dems to Win]

30. Saw her on MSNBC alongside Howard Dean (supporting Hillary)

Her enthusiasm and passion was a strong contrast to Howard's pro-forma support of Hillary. She is the best surrogate imaginable for Bernie, I love her.

But I'm a bit skeptical of going from state Senator to VP. If Bernie picks her, though, I'll be on board 100%.

[book_worm]

31. Too bad she wasn't elected last year as Ohio Secretary of State

It was a bad year for Dems, of course, losing 60-35. But I say too bad because she needs more experience than having just served as a State Senator.
