So both Bernie and Joe have said that if they get the nom, they will both be sure not to appoint an old white man as their running mate.
I for one am thrilled that they want to make this choice solely on gender and/or skin color, and not by who would enhance their message and be able to beat Trump.
Mind you, I'm totally for having a woman or someone who's representing a minority in the WH. And there are more than enough qualified people to choose from.
At the same time, I really despise the 'Have to have a minority because that will please the minority voters' attitude.
These assholes need to get it through their heads - we're not voting based on *your* skin color, so why do we give a shit about your running mate's? We want someone who can beat Trump! And if it takes two old white men working in tandem, then so be it.
If they want an example of what not to do, look up Palin, Sarah.
