I know it seemed unthinkable just weeks ago, but if Hillary picked Bernie, I think it would be game over for Trump. I know; ain't gonna happen.
Who would be a better pick than the 2 front runners?

(28,394 posts)I like Brown and O'Malley as well.
I watched Kaine with Clinton today. He isn't charismatic but he seems very dependable and capable. Maybe that is what she is looking for. We don't know.
Is Vilsack considered a front-runner now? He is even more un-exciting than Kaine.
(I hope this isn't considered bashing democrats! I am just talking about "wow factors" here, not qualifications.)

(456 posts)she can't control Bernie. Just image Bernie having a disagreement with her about something and calling a press conference in the Rose garden to vet his grievance.
She needs to either choose Perez or Warren to make the contrast with Trump/Pence stark. Kaine speaking spanish is a plus but it doesn't have to optic punch Hillary needs.
