Bloomberg campaign manager says they have considered naming running mate during primaries
By Zack Budryk - 02/27/20 11:08 AM EST

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s campaign manager said Thursday that the campaign has considered naming a running mate with the primaries still underway.

“One way that Mayor Bloomberg could show that he wants to bring the party together or be more representative of all the factions in it would be to announce a potential VP. ... Why not do that now?” MSNBC’s Stephanie Ruhle asked Kevin Sheekey Thursday morning. “Because a lot of people say, ‘Mayor Bloomberg, he’s not even a Democrat.’”

“We’ve thought about it,” Sheekey replied, “I think the other campaigns have thought about it too. I think it gets to my earlier point, which is that we do need to figure out how to consolidate different factions of this party. We need to figure out how to bring people together.”

I thought he already unofficially announced Clinton? That would certainly "bring the party together" - Bernie's fans will love it.

If Hill is chosen, Sanders better periodically check his Nitro tablets.

Yep - all 5 secret service agents coincidentally go on a bathroom break at the same time that the surveillance equipment malfunctions. Fortunately Hillary is right down the hall chatting with RBG so she can be sworn in without a moment's delay.

Let's see, Mike needs the following:

Someone from the South.
A woman
A minority
Someone with charisma in front of the cameras.

I nominate Sheila Jackson Lee.

It sure would be a fun ride to watch.

Yeah,that would be a good ticket for the Dims.

Also,don't forget that Jim-mah Cawtur is still alive. Sort of,anyway.

  Didn't work out so well for Sen. Cruz, Bloomy.

I don't know.  Seems a bad idea to name a running mate when you aren't exactly wowing voters in the primaries and caucuses so far.

Bloomberg and Sheila?? You are 100 per cent correct. I'd watch in a heartbeat...with popcorn!

Like someone else said, wouldn't she have to concede her last election before she could run for something else?

BTW it disturbs me that I recognize her photo - that's brain capacity I could be using for something far more useful, like the last 10 digits of pi.

No!
Stacey Abrams, fresh from her self-proclaimed "victory" down in Georgia...!
