6. I trust Hillary to make an outstanding choice,

just as she has run an excellent campaign so far.

I LOVE Elizabeth. I hope that, one day soon, she will be our second woman President. But I have the same objection in principle against her selection for Veep as I have against ANY sitting Dem Senator, Congressperson, or Governor. If they are good or great where they are, please let them do the jobs they have been elected to do instead of appointing any one of them as a running mate. They would exchange an actual, meaningful post for a prestigious, but largely (and hopefully) symbolic one.

We would also run the very real risk of GOPers taking their seats/positions.
