Something funny happened when Hillary was asked the republican VP question.

[Renew Deal]

The audience gasped. One lady covered her mouth. It was like Rachel asked her something so horrifying and unimaginable that the crowd couldn't listen. Pretty funny.

1. Her answer was pretty telling also.

[Renew Deal]

2. Yes, it was very smart.

I liked it.

[Scuba]

13. Which Republicans are you OK with being her VP running mate?

[Renew Deal]

14. None and it's not going to happen

But I don't think that someone sporting a Sanders logo is concerned about party loyalty.

[Scuba]

17. Nope, I'm not concerned about party loyalty. On the other hand, I'm very concerned about ...

... policy. And Hillary stated, out loud on television, that she's OK enough with multiple Republicans - and, therefore, their policy positions - that she would pick them for her VP.

What Republican policies are you OK with to the degree that you'd support them as part of the Democratic platform???

[Renew Deal]

18. We have no idea who she is talking about.

And the VP doesn't have any direct policy role or impact unless the Senate is locked up.

[Scuba]

20. Or if the President should die or otherwise be removed from office. Again I ask, what policy ...

... positions held by Republicans are you OK with being part of the Democratic Party platform? Another Iraq war? Fracking? Increased use of H1B Visas? The TPP? The death penalty?

3. Could you maybe tell those of us who didn't hear the exchange?

I would like to know!

5. Thanks! I liked her answer a lot. n/t

[NBachers]

9. Thanks for the link. I enjoyed watching it.

I remember seeing a "Hillary says she could pick a republican vice president!" post on here the other day.

Grasping, snatching for the poison . . .

6. Hillary looked horrified as well

But recovered from the thought of it.

7. Stupid Question

"If you could be a tree, what kind of chainsaw would you like to be cut down with?"

8. +1000 n/t

[Kalidurga]

12. It was a very stupid question.

I woulda laughed my butt off if Hillary said it was a stupid question. "Well, that's a stupid question, to my knowledge Democrat or Republican has ever chosen a running mate from the other party. Not since they stopped having the losing candidate be the vice president has the White House been one by two people from opposing parties." Something like that. I don't care how long it's been without looking I am going to say never. Because when it did happen the candidates didn't have running mates.

10. Of course her answer would be "none of the above." Why did Rachel waste time on that question?

[Renew Deal]

15. She talked to Matthews about it later

The envelope questions were random. Any of the candidates could have gotten them, but Hillary was always going to be the most interesting with this question because she is the most likely to win.

Rachel wanted to see them dodge, but the gasps in the room were even more interesting.

11. She would work with them but not want any as her VP. must just be me, I dislike these kind of shows.

Mrs. Clinton does great on these kind of dramatic TV shows, there is not enough substance/depth to the questions not enough time to give a decent full answer.

I'm still waiting for some reporter to ask Mrs. Clinton if she would consider Senator Sanders as her VP. Same question for Senator Sanders. And to both of them why or why not.

16. Funny that Bernie Sanders supporters think Hillary fumbled the answer

to that question when she actually gave the perfect answer under the circumstances.

[Renew Deal]

19. Most Sanders supporters wear when it comes to his opponents

Hillary and O'Malley can do nothing well. Only unquestioning devotion to St. Bernie is permitted.

Most Democrats like all of our candidates.
