How about Ron Reagan as VEEP pick?

>>>Reagan endorsed then-Illinois senator Barack Obama for president in the 2008 presidential election[12] and Vermont Independent Senator Bernie Sanders in 2015.[13]>>>> wiki

I didn't realize he was already on board. But what better symbolism to unite the country, appeal to independents .... and break out of this bi-polar, anachronistic political gridlock?

RR is smooth as silk, steadfastly progressive and WICKED smart.

Reagan Sr. defied convention ( and The Convention) by designating a running mate ahead of time in '76.

If BS follows suit, it will put pressure on Clinton Inc. to do the same. Who's she gonna tap? Alan Greenspan?

The people have a right to know.

No?

When they try to figure out whether they like an anti war, U.S. veteran who served in Iraq and is a Hindu. So she's got that going for her.

I would rather see her in a senior Defense position bringing the military industrial complex to heel.

I don't care if he is a good Raygun.
I just do not want to see that name in government.
Ronnie Raygun killed my brother, so NO!
