Bernie Sanders Says Vice President 'Will Not Be an Old White Guy' If He Wins Nomination

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Bernie Sanders said his running mate will not be an "old white guy" should he win the Democratic Party's 2020 presidential nomination.

The Vermont senator told The New York Times Editorial Board in an election endorsement interview that it was "a little bit premature" to name a running mate, with the first nominating contest in Iowa still 21 days away.

But he did confirm that the vice president in any Sanders White House would "not be an old white guy" and discounted the chances of former Vice President Joe Biden, saying his eight years in the office were "probably enough."

Sanders also told the Times Editorial Board he would consider following President Donald Trump by releasing a short list of potential Supreme Court picks before making a nomination.

1. I'm thinking some people might prefer Elizabeth Warren and not have

"an Old White Guy" from the start. In fact, I'll bet that's true.

Odds are whoever becomes the nominee is going to make sure that accusation can't be made about them, either.

So, Bernie: OK, then. Got it.

2. My thoughts exactly!

Bernie's not just an old white guy. He's a cranky old white guy. Not my choice for the top of the ticket.

But as with all of us here, if he is the nominee, I will vote for him.

3. Sanders stated as much when he visited his surrogate media outlet in February.

Didn't Sanders endorse the owner of the outlet for political office after receiving favorable coverage from them?

5. The big question is, will Bernie still be a democrat if elected.

I wonder about this. I will vote for him if he is the nominee, but sure hope not.

9. Well there is that.

What I mean is, that he wears the label when it suits him and then disavows it when he is done using it.

8. And then there is that. This primary boggles the mind.
