Official Bernie Sanders HQ: Not Me, Us!
- Thread starter Berniewood Hogan
- Start date
Nina is gonna be Chief of Staff.
VP will go to someone like Barbara Lee. I'm convinced that's who Bernie is going to pick if he wins.
I like Barbara Lee, she would be my second choice but there are two important issues that make Nina the better pick.
She would be 78 by the time Bernie's term is up and probably wouldn't be running after him. Then the fact that she's poised to be a replacement for Pelosi is something else to be considered. You don't want to pull someone out of an important office to come to be VP.
I don't think her being hardcore will be a hindrance, and again...according to his preferences who else are you making VP without removing someone from congress/senate or picking from any of the lame birds from the field of democratic candidates?
Bernie isn't dependent on his VP pick to win, he's going to win on the issues, I don't think her being tough, especially up against Trumpests is going to keep people from voting for him.

Ive heard some people , people i know that are white and moderate dems. "oh you have to pick a moderate, picking nina turner is like picking a black panther and white people will be scared, theyre already going to be voting for a "communist".i dont know do people think thats true? ive wanted nina as VP for the longest.
Nina is BLACK black, I'm sure there are some white folks who are intimidated by her but now is not the time to cater to their fears. Chances are if you're down with Bernie, you're down Nina. If you're on the fence and just going to be voting for him because he's the nominee, I don't think you're gonna look at her and be like...Nahhhh.
People gotta keep in mind that whoever he picks could very well end up being the first female president for one reason or another and it should be someone who is politically aligned with him, to me that's more of a priority than picking Klobberjaw or even someone like Harris to appeal to people who are that ridiculous.

This is perfect.
"Live in New Hampshire, we have Game 2 of the Democratic Primary Finals. Marv Alberts here with Doug Collins. Team Bernie Sanders coming off a tough loss in Iowa to Team Buttigieg. Controversy surrounding the win as replay cleary showed Buttigieg's last second shot not only missing the basket completely, but released a good 12 seconds after time expired while his foot was on the line. Still however for some reason the refs inexplicably awarded him 3 points for the missed attempt, along with a 2-point victory, and declared the play ineligible for review as they ran off the court to a chorus of boos from the Iowa faithful in attendance.
Undaunted, Team Sanders looks to bounce back with a strong showing here this evening.
Tonights referees in attendance are veteran officials Tom Perez, Hillary Clinton, and Chris Matthews.

I need one of the Sanders people putting together these dope ads to do one with Bernie and Pac with higher quality and a bit more concise. It's funny though because for all that wild shyt Pac was doing and saying on TV, they banned THAT interview from MTV because he was kicking socialist rhetoric.
To Al!
I'm not on the "pick Nina" train just yet, but one of the biggest assets of that pick is that she's been by Bernie's side the whole time. People can't be like, "he's just picking a Black woman to pander" the more they realize how tightly the two of them have been tied the last five years. And that at least might cause some voters to think about his candidacy differently.
Exactly.
Authenticity is a huge deal and that is as authentic of a relationship that you can get, especially since Biden or even Warren will probably try something similar with people they don't have much association with.

I heard on a podcast yesterday that Warren was probably going to pick Julian Castro is she got the chance
That's what I was thinking, surprised she couldn't find someone "non binary" for VP
There will probably be Biden/Harris ticket, or maybe Abrams.
