12. Castro. He'd be perfect as Vice President and young enough to follow Hillary Clinton as the next

president of the United States.

If you believe he doesn't have any or enough experience, remember first and foremost who the presidential nominee is at the moment. Then check out his accomplishments as Mayor of a major Texas city with 1 million people here. *How many multiple-term Senators can boast that they've been elected with over 500k votes to office?

Hillary Clinton is a seasoned and highly experienced politician who's been First Lady of Arkansas and First Lady of the United States. She's been elected twice as Senator of New York and then appointed as Secretary of State for President Obama. She's got hands-on experience on how the White House works. She doesn't need anyone with equal experience to be a running mate. She needs someone she can work with, get along with; someone she can help groom and who is young enough after her two terms to be able to follow her up.

Castro fits the bill perfectly.
