Heard rumors that reason we are suddenly hearing more about Hillary Clinton is because they plan to place her as the candidate at the convention. Think be dumbest thing they could do but wouldn't put it past them to do.
Because that worked so well before.
I don't hate Hillary at all. Would have been acceptable as the least bad option since I can't ever have a candidate that's firmly in the breadth of my wishes. Even Obama, who was the first president in my adult life I voted for, didn't really match my beliefs and wishes for the country, but I thought he would make more waves than he did, even on the second term.
But damn, Hillary? She's creeping up in age herself. That's like saying Bernie should get the nod. If the point is to have someone with the energy that Biden doesn't have, Hillary is a joke of a choice. And, again, while she doesn't represent me as a voter, I respect her efforts within her belief system. But they'd be crazy to try it
That's improbable enough for me to interpret those rumors as entirely made up.
I’d vote for Bernie Sanders
Putting Bernie in would help Democrats in an area where they're weakest, so they'd never do that.
Realistically, I'm pretty sure even Bernie has said he's too old to be president (could have been propaganda). Not a lot better, but i'd still probably vote for Elizabeth Warren if she was on the ticket. I did always feel like a lot of her ideas were either piggybacked from Bernie or kind of lacking in substance but that could be personal bias somewhere on my part or just the way the media portrayed her. Even then, it did always feel like she was headed to a good place.
Warren isn't an option either though, the real reason is that the party wants an establishment candidate that won't jeopardize the way things are run. They'll never let anyone progressive run on the ticket again.
