Cross-posted from Down With Tyranny: How Hillary's VP Choice Can Make Her More Than A Post-Script To The Clinton-Bush-Obama Era

This article's Veep-brainstorming is a reminder that, while Bernie faces difficult choices under generally sleazy public pressure, the choices facing Hillary (without much publicity) are also very substantive, important, interesting, and potentially win-win for both Hillary and those of us who want Bernie to remain a central player in crystallizing the public's choices.

Condi? Oh man, that's rich...

I was just thinking "How Can Hillary Possibly Insult The Left Any More?"

Omg - are they nuts?

As if Democrats don't hate her and the party enough. Let's see how many more we can drive out.

hmm, I remember Condi Rice to be a yuuuge NATO

fan and I don't know what she might have in mind to deal with Russia, but this article, I think, shows the whole danger Europe might face. Not that I really understand where the heck all that is coming from, but it scares me, because I don't think that many normal, little people know what to think about it.

ANALYSIS - European history hovers close to reverse gear

The forces of European disintegration are on the rise in many countries, fuelled by economic discontent, fear of job losses to foreign competition or to immigrants, and the anxieties of ageing societies.

Eurosceptics in the Netherlands forced a referendum in April on an EU agreement on closer ties with Ukraine via a petition and mobilised just enough voters to make the "No" vote valid, leaving the Dutch and EU authorities with a legal conundrum.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who boasts of having established an "illiberal democracy", is planning a public vote in October to defy EU rules obliging member states to share the burden of taking in refugees flooding into Greece and Italy.

And a eurosceptic rightist failed by a whisker to win Austria's presidential election last month, surfing a wave of hostility to migrants and defiance of "Brussels".

The latest Pew Research Center survey of European attitudes shows public support for the EU has plunged across Europe, with the steepest fall in France, where only 38 percent have a favourable view of the Union, six points fewer than in Britain.

Such findings do not necessarily indicate that other countries are likely to leave the bloc. Ironically support for the EU is strongest in Poland and Hungary, which are major beneficiaries of funds from Brussels but have two of Europe's most eurosceptic governments.

That is some scary ~~shit.~~ stuff.

EU

The one question I always had about the European Union experiment is these are not states like we have them. They are sovereign nations, many hundreds of centuries old. That's what is fueling this fire. Add in the usual demagogues and parasites and you got a stink. Rec'd!

" the mushroom cloud"

Didn't go to the link, cuz don't want to read anything about the Clintons, but noticing several comments mention Condi Rice, want to remind us her "reason" for Invading Iraq - remember, she said "we don't want to wait until the mushroom cloud."
Despicable human being....

Condi as HRC VP choice will never happen. HRC wants all the

spotlight to herself. I'm thinking it will be the conventional choice of Tim Kaine. Yawn.
