I liked her but for some reason her support was thin. We need a strong VP candidate who gets out the vote and that’s Amy!

We need to to win without them...if they only support their chosen candidate in a general because mostly the candidates they are head over heels for won't win the election.

I'm actually supporting Warren but expected Biden would take the lead on Super Tuesday. Our primary here in AZ is after ST, thus my "Undecided" status.

But recent events have me more concerned about Joe's situation.

But I like Pete/Stacey too.

Bloomberg Bennet

a lot, actually. But I have never considered him to be a viable candidate. Sadly.

He's got swag and legacy.

By a mile.

Amy Klobuchar/Andrew Gillum

But going Big with Two women. Would be electrifying.

Win/Win/Win

Completely Agree

I sure hope she's on the ticket.

She's awesome.

seriously would be great.

Biden/Klobuchar - it is ok but too moderate for me personally

Sanders/Klobuchar - well, Bernie should choose a younger woman if not Warren

Biden/Yang - might help Biden with the youth vote

Biden/Bloomberg - Biden should choose a woman and not someone so conservative. Bloomberg is more conservative than Biden is

Biden/Steyer - not sure this is a good mix

Sanders/Warren - my personal preference! Or Warren/Sanders

Steyer/Sanders - I like Steyer and Sanders, so not bad

Bloomberg/Sanders - huge clash, would not happen

Warren/Bloomberg - again a huge clash that would not happen

Klobuchar is asked to defend Sanders on health care and other things. But if the polling says a balanced ticket would do better, she is an option.

I believe that Warren/Klobuchar is the best ticket.

Possibly even a Warren/Yang ticket.

Warren will not run as Veep on anyone's ticket.

If we're considering people not still in the primaries, I would love to see

Warren/Harris or

Warren/Booker or

Warren/Abrams

Warren/another great candidate (there are MANY possibilities)

I would favor Warren/Abrams or Warren/another great candidate over a ticket with two current Senators, however. We NEED good Senators.

But Warren IS and WILL REMAIN #1 for me.

Period. No matter how many of these polls get posted.

You think she'd turn Bernie down if he asked?

I don’t want Biden, but realize he is probably going to be the nominee.

I want Harris on the ticket. I’ve been uninspired by most since she dropped out.

If Biden falters more and Bloomberg rises, I hope he'd consider Harris for VP.

.

She captured me.

In the past week I have changed from Biden/Klobuchar to Bloomberg.

I still think that Amy on the ticket will be a huge plus in the Midwest, and I wish she could lead the ticket, but I'll wait 8 years until she runs again as the VP!

Not my first choice for policy reasons, but starting to look best for a winning ticket.

...the strongest ticket is Trump/Pence!

Don't worry, I always vote straight Democratic and will support whichever of our fine candidates comes out on top.

To be clear, your OP question did not specify a party.

Bloomberg/Buttigieg or maybe Bloomberg/Harris

The positive about Bloomberg/Buttigieg is that we don't lose a great senator.

Obviously.

You want the strongest possible, there it is. Biden just recently said he wanted her as his VP.

Sheer Genius!!

BloombergObama2020

This one beats my idea hands down.

That would be one incredible ticket.

A. reminder of everything he can never be !

GTMA

I think he might snap and go into a full racist thug rant on national telly.

The way to treat these fuckers is with ridicule and disdain. Bloomberg would look him in the eye and call him out as a fake billionaire, a fraud, and a grifter. A petty little embezzler who has to skim off the country's till like a two-bit gangster in one of his shitty. failed, bankrupt casinos.

There's a line from a Lou Reed song that comes to mind when I think of the trumps -

You'd eat shit, and say it tasted good,
If there was some money in if for you

A Taxonomy of the Ass-Clown: On Donald Trump

https://lithub.com/a-taxonomy-of-the-ass-clown-on-donald-trump/



Men who chase women are often intensely interested in How to Attract Hot Chicks. One tip, which some women themselves give, is to keep ’em guessing, to stay mysterious, then to be funny, then a little too cocky, and then nice, but not too nice. Most important, don’t let her pin you down, feel like she’s got your type (“he’s a player,” “nerdy guy,” “all he does is work”), since once she’s got you figured, she may decide she’s not interested in finding out a little more about you (e.g., on a date or in a further text).

The pickup artist risks looking too practiced. Then there’s no special compliment to a woman in the fact that he’s approached her. And maybe he’s too easily categorized: he only wants quick sex, which he’s used to getting, when she’d prefer a three-date courtship. If he’s too “smooth,” way too good at this, she’ll have discerned his type and may lose interest. There’s thus a certain advantage to being scrappy, being unpolished and not too practiced, as long as one is also funny and not too unkempt or completely broke. The scrappy guy, like the underdog, arouses our compassion and seems innocent or even likable, although often oblivious.

The pickup artist hustles for fun or sex, of course, but also for the way he feels about himself if a woman shows interest. His worth is affirmed in the eyes of the woman (perhaps whether or not he respects her beyond the adoration she gives him). Knowing how other men and women might think of him if they knew this—if they were seen together in public, for instance—his sense of self- worth is boosted or swollen.

Like any politician, Donald Trump’s quarry is the electorate, and he at least wants pretty much what Men Who Chase Hot Chicks want: to affirm his worth by being seen as powerful, the center of attention, as the man whose favor must be curried, so as to uphold his vision of himself as “great,” a “winner,” a “huge success.” He’s lucky not to have the smooth tactics of the pickup artist, since in an electorate used to The Rubio (slick, bogus, likable, but without substance), voters will take to a scrappy effort and forgive the rest, if they can find sufficient reason to keep up their interest. And Trump does effortlessly keep up people’s interest, by keeping ’em guessing, shocked, self-doubting, and amused.

It is tough being an asshole in ordinary life. Success in the eld takes considerable skill and social intelligence. The effective asshole often learns to work the gray areas of cooperation. If people feel disrespected and pipe up about it, perhaps they can’t quite pin down their objection, and with the asshole resistant to any open conversation about why his conduct was, or was not, acceptable, he fends off the challenge, proving to himself, yet again, that he has no compelling reason to listen. This is difficult to do reliably without being completely isolated. So the successful asshole often has further methods. He’ll 1) keep ’em guessing and uncertain about his type; and 2) offer some redeeming quality, by being funny, or smart, or beautiful, or wealthy. The mistreated person then isn’t resolutely revolted and perhaps becomes willing to forgive, or at least quickly forget.

There is no “real Trump” beneath the appearances in part because he keeps us guessing in just this fashion, alternating freely between ways of presenting himself, sometimes very quickly, even in midsentence. This leaves us without a firm sense of his person and so unable to resolve our reaction to him. Unsettled and uncertain, we are destabilized; and he is better able to do pretty much as he likes.

this was BEFORE he was even elected

Can’t take any chances with special elections.

About a Bloomberg/Michelle Obama ticket. That would be incredible. But she won’t do it, I bet.

She would make history
As VP he would be more or less free to maintain his current lifestyle

I'd vote for that

Bloomberg/Harris

I think Buttigieg/Booker is a strong ticket.

I'm feeling hopeful and with luck this trend will continue for our STRONGEST candidates... the ones who are Democrats and not Socialists.

that the VP pick will be an also-ran? It's only happened a few times in my lifetime (I'm 64), and only one of those times it worked out (Reagan-Bush). It didn't go so well for Kerry-Edwards.

The ticket will need to be balanced both by gender and by race, if we have a white male as the nominee, he'll need to pick Stacy Abrams or someone with similar stature. If by some miracle Elizabeth Warren is the nominee, she will probably pick Castro for the racial/gender balance.
