Who are possible VP choices?

[gyroscope]

besides Warren who may not want to run, what are some other choices?

I like Martin O'Malley. People might say he has no experience at the federal level, but neither did Bush when he became president in 2000.

[whathehell]

1. Bernie will need someone with foreign policy experience..

Biden's cred in that area was a large factor in his getting the nod from Obama.

3. Good point

[grntuscarora]

2. Talking with a friend the other day,

we both agreed our dream ticket would be Sanders/Warren.
But she probably feels she can make more of a contribution where she is, and she's probably right.

[TeamPooka]

4. Gonna need some geographic balance there. Too Northeast. Also need some mainstream party support

[TeamPooka]

5. Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown. nt

[Gregorian]

6. Barbara Lee also didn't make the Iraq war choice.

8. A woman would be perfect

[Kip Humphrey]

7. John Kerry

Bernie will need to focus on the domestic agendas and John has the chops to be effectively a US Foreign Minister and thereby oversee the foreign agendas; plus other reasons

[IllinoisBrenel]

10. John Kerry

He would be a great VP. But, I believe, he should stay on as SOS..He is doing a great job, and I believe that it would reassure our allies, and our country! At least the first term!

9. Senator Barbara Lee! nt

[Gregorian]

15. Doesn't she seem perfect for it?

[Mufaddal]

11. Definitely not O'Malley

At least not in my mind. Wouldn't mind seeing Nina Turner on the ticket.

[Pastiche423]

13. Nina Turner has my vote

Her intelligence, passion and great speechifying would be a wonderful asset to Bernie.

[Bernin4U]

12. Susan Rice?

Too hawkish?

[Pastiche423]

14. Susan Rice?

You funning us, right?

[Bernin4U]

17. Just asking, dunno enough about her.

Otoh, Nina Turner seems to be thrown around a lot. But I wonder if she's a little green?

[Pastiche423]

18. Green is not a bad thing

At least she is not establishment.

[gyroscope]

16. No hawks please

we don't want a hawk VP advising President Sanders to start more wars in the ME (and elsewhere) do we?

[Bad Bad JuJu]

19. Governor Kate Brown ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​?

of Oregon.

[flamingdem]

20. Foreign policy! Bernie is weak in that area and the populace is all riled up

The repukes could win on that!

Not sure who though.

[gyroscope]

21. Weak how?

Sanders extensive record shows he has far better judgment on foreign policy than any GOP candidate.
He would crush them on any debate about foreign policy.

[flamingdem]

22. He lacks experience but more important is that his focus is nearly 100% on

economic issues. That's great but the repukes are hammering on security issues and we should know by now that works with the current population.

[gyroscope]

23. Lack of experience?

Twenty-five years in the House and Senate working and voting on foreign policy issues isn't enough experience for you? Ridiculous talking point is ridiculous.

Sanders has much more experience on foreign policy than Obama who had none when he was elected to office in 2008. The silly republicans can keep hammering about how they want to start and expand more wars in the ME yeah that will get more people to vote for them. Most voters don't give a rats ass about foreign policy (other than we should be minding our own business and taking care of our own problems at home) and if that's all they want to talk about then great let 'em they'll be digging their own graves.

[flamingdem]

24. This has been proven in some of his interviews of late and in the debates

It's not his strong suit primarily because it's not his focus.

Most voters absolutely do care about foreign policy because they're watching Fox and terrified of this or that. All we need is one incident and the Repukes could win on this.

[gyroscope]

25. Thanks for the laugh

but all Bernie has to do is say one word: Iraq.

The greatest foreign policy disaster in American history, engineered by the GOP with help from establishment dems, and they are toast. Iraq is the new Vietnam. You really want these clowns running the nations foreign policy, and who will be following in the footsteps of that other clown named George Bush? Good luck with that.

[Petrushka]

26. Robert Reich (n/t)

[AtomicKitten]

27. Big fan of Nina Turner.
