Hillary picks the Bern

I try to keep informed using various methods, ranging from on-line news to broadcast news and various print media forms, including the previously discussed dying dodo bird entity commonly known as the "morning paper."

I'VE YET TO HEAR A SERIOUS DISCUSSION REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF HILLARY CLINTON CHOOSING BERNIE SANDERS AS HER VP.....IF INDEED SHE WINS THE NOMINATION.....which in all practical realities that I can see....is going to happen on June 7 at the California primary.  

Bernie would have to win 65% of the vote and whereas I see him winning California there's no way the margin will be high enough for him to claim all the delegates.....and then his only hope would be to convince all the super delegates to change their minds and that is about the same as believing Star Trek was a documentary.

SO....accepting the given reality of Hillary Goddamn, er....I mean Rodham Clinton being the Democratic nominee for 45th President of the United States, wouldn't it make perfect sense for her to choose Bernard no middle name Sanders as her running mate?

IS THAT TOO LOGICAL?

It would absolutely guarantee a victory in NOVEMBER.....

Having watched all 4 seasons of House of Cards and having observed the Clintons since 1991 I'm a little bit worried that she might pick Bill as her running mate.  

IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? 

( I just did some research and believe it or not there are some legal ambiguities with the wording regarding any previous two term President being eligible for an appointment as VP)   
AND 
IF WE'VE LEARNED ANYTHING ABOUT THE CLINTON'S WE'VE LEARNED THAT MANIPULATING THE SYSTEM IS ACTUALLY THEIR OFFICIAL MO.

OK....FANTASY TIME OVER.....

SHE WON'T PICK BILL BECAUSE SHE CAN'T.
SHE WON'T PICK ELIZABETH WARREN BECAUSE EW WON'T DO IT.
SHE CAN'T PICK AL GORE BECAUSE THAT'S TOO WEIRD
SHE WON'T PICK JERRY BROWN EVEN THOUGH SHE SHOULD
SHE WON'T PICK SETH MACFARLAND BECAUSE WE AREN'T ALLOWED TO LAUGH THAT MUCH
SHE WON'T PICK ELLEN OR OPRAH OR ANGELIQUE BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO
SHE CAN'T PICK TAYLOR SWIFT BECAUSE SHE'S TOO YOUNG

SO

LOOKING AROUND AT VARIOUS OPTIONS AND TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO HAS MILLIONS OF LOYAL FOLLOWERS..... 

SHE HAS TO PICK THE BERN

He is not too old to be VP if he's not to old to be President....and there are millions of young people in this country that are already on the Bernie train.


I'm pretty sure that this issue is being discussed among the "insiders" but I don't see any discussions in the media.  I've probably just missed those moments and this entire posting was a complete waste of time.......

Seriously, what would you have been doing with the last 10 minutes instead of reading this dribble?  If I stole those ten minutes from you and it prevented you from figuring out how to cure cancer or  reduce the national debt or fix the Dodgers pitching staff...then I truly apologize.

Maybe a nice tune to help offset the wasted time......unless of course you hadn't thought about The Hill picking The Bern and in that case.....no apology needed.

But I still think you should listen to this song......




And if you need some gentleness in your life.....watch "Going my Way."  
I Promise it will make you softer and calmer.....two things that the current election season will most definitely 
not do.
