Clinton can and probably should pick a young, less experienced person. She is highly qualified and the way that it works is you pick a complement old with young, inexperience with experience. She has the luxury of anointing the next president after she leaves office with her pick.

McCain was in the same position but picked way too inexperienced and it hurt him.

It would be a smart choice for Hilary or Sanders.

I agree. He seems like a high risk, potentially high loss candidate. He has two things working against him:

1. He hasn't held very prestigious political offices.

2. We're going into an election cycle with illegal immigration a hot topic.

He's not inexperienced, he has ZERO experience. At least Palin was a governor. I'm not defending her here, and agree she was an awful choice. Castro is an equally awful choice. He's a nobody. He's had zero accomplishments in his life. He scored a 1200 on his SAT, that would be way below average at my high school. He must have gone to a really crappy high school in San Antonio to come in ninth, with that low of an SAT score. He also only got into Stanford through affirmative action. He's a loser and a dunce. I can't believe anyone thinks he should be VP. He should have been submitted to an IQ test before his HUD confirmation.

I was pretty sure you didn't have a clue about what you're talking about, but your support of Castro removes all doubt.

I did not/do not support Castro. Just said he was an inexperienced complement to the experienced Clinton - the type of pairing one sees in presidential tickets. I would like to see maybe Kirsten Gillibrand though I don't know a lot about her. That would be an all female ticket though, so it probably is not wise politics.

Of course we noticed that --- it came out of Hillary, and nothing that comes out of Hillary is real.

Well, except maybe The Cackle.

McCain didn't pick Palin. He let the GOP Establishment force Palin on him. It was one of the fundamental blunders of his campaign.

The problem with Castro isn't his inexperience. For VP people don't care about that. His problem is that he is also part of the Obama administration. Since this also applies to Hillary, the GOP tactic will most certainly be that voting for Clinton is voting for 4 more years of Obama. This was the exact tactic used by the GOP to dispatch DNC Senators and gain control of the Senate in 2014. It was a very successful tactic.

No candidate would get near announcing a running mate this early. It was all pandering to the Hispanic crowd.

What? Sure they do. Not sure why you'd say that. And was why Obama selected Biden and sealed two wins because of it.
