Hillary Clinton's shortlist for VP candidates leaked - includes Bill Gates and Bernie Sanders - Polidicks

[QUOTE=AaronM202;51222308]Bill Gates? Tim Cook? Why.[/QUOTE] Doesn't help the whole "she's knee deep in the pockets of big businesses" thing :v:

[QUOTE=HumanAbyss;51222657]More so than Trump? Definitely not. Hilary isn't good by any stretch of the imagination. But she's not even as far from the mark as is being proposed in this thread.[/QUOTE] Once again can we have a discussion without it devolving into this moronic droolfest of "b-but Trump". Of course not more than Trump that's why he fucking endorsed Clinton. My God, the point is that Sanders didn't magically change his mind about Clinton, he's just endorsing her to keep Trump out of office.

It's not moronic to bring it up, but flame away. It's a simple fact she isn't the literal antithesis to him. It's not debatable. She's not similar to him in terms of ideals as far as the public can tell but she's definitely not what you're saying she is.

I never said nor implied that Sanders preferred Trump over Clinton so there's no need for you to waste my time responding to something I never said. [editline]18th October 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Ehmmett;51224056]No you wouldnt[/QUOTE] Yeah that's a pretty stupid thing to say Joe. Probably not too wise to admit on a public forum you'd be willing to assassinate the president or VP.

[QUOTE=redBadger;51222688]Honestly if bill gates ran for president i'd probably vote for him, regardless of party affiliation.[/QUOTE] He's the businessman who Trump wishes he was and is actually worth billions, spends his post-success life furthering charitable causes that work to improve environmental conditions and create greener technologies as well as also being a man who understands the internet and its workings. Yeah, I'd vote for him too.

That does not invalidate the fact that Clinton is absolutely opposite to the core principles Sanders stands for.[/QUOTE] That I replied to initially, names them both. But yeah, go ahead, rage at me for bringing him up, when you brought him up.

I'm clearly not bothered by the mere mention of his name, I'm bothered that you replied "more so than Trump?" when I never implied such a thing. Quit this shit, you're usually much smarter and more agreeable but you're starting off on the wrong foot with this disagreement.

[QUOTE=Sableye;51222334]now are we talking 90's "I'll rip you a new asshole" bill gates or late 2000's "I'm giving all my money away to charity" bill gates? because like he's really really changed over the years[/QUOTE] bill "i can jump over this chair" gates.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;51222653]Hillary is also an [B]antithesis[/B] for Sanders.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=srobins;51222646]Clinton is absolutely [B]opposite[/B] to the core principles Sanders stands for.[/QUOTE] Poor choice of words that form an argument which is both nonsensical, wrong, and which derailed the discussion. Sanders is probably way different compared to Hillary, but he has things in common with her. Therefore he cannot be the 'antithesis' to Hillary. What does that even mean? And keep in mind, what sparked part of this discussion was this quote: [QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis, before correcting himself(?)]You're delusional if you think Sanders would favour Hillary over Trump in any universe,[/QUOTE] Which is demonstratively wrong by the fact that he favors her in this universe. He might not have supported Hillary under normal circumstances, but saying that he is the antithesis to her, and that he wouldn't favor her over Trump, is nonsense and factually wrong.

[quote]Howard Schultz[/quote] Thought this said "Howard Stern", was immediately about to discredit wikileaks.

[QUOTE=.Isak.;51222439]There's a pretty obvious reason why she ended up picking Kaine - he's not a senator.[/QUOTE] I was first going to make a snarky comment correcting you, but I think it's more of a testament to how forgettable Kaine is that not even Clinton supporters can remember what his job is. For the record, though, Kaine is currently a Senator from Virginia. He previously served as Governor, was the mayor of Richmond, and was even DNC chair for a short time. Kaine's selection as VP is odd in those regards, because as you noted, they need every seat they can get, and Virginia is still a swingstate, even as it lurches more blue each time. Though it's worth noting that the next gubernatorial election in Virginia is 2017, so if Kaine vacates the seat for the White House, there will be two state-wide elections in 2017. With the governorship, and the only Senate race that year on the line, Virginia Democrats may be more motivated than usual to turn out.
