Tim Cook Was Named to Hillary Clinton's List of Vice Presidential Candidates

[thermodynamic]

It would have been cool if Tim Cook and Bill Gates were the Dem and Repub VP picks.

I think Mr. Snuffalupagus would be great as a VP.

In other words, Why? How? Have you looked at their business practices? Well, to be fair Gates - since changing his tune to become a humanitarian after leaving the inhumane business world - is quite a remarkable guy. What's Cook done, except get the GOP calling him out as being a hypocrite on human rights issues?

and he speaks fluent spanish, and he's from a state with a democratic governor to fill his seat with another democrat by appointment when they win the election, and that state is a semi-swing state, and he's squeaky clean having been vetted by Obama for VP, and he has plenty of experience to do the job, and he's a white male moderate.

Tim Kaine is a boring yet safe "harmless" choice, like you said, but with a few perks. My complaint is this choice makes no thought of 2024, ain't no way Kaine can win the nomination. #Booker2024

Of course competency (and experience) is all that matters for most of us who aren't sexist or homophobic. Unfortunately, many people she needs to appeal to are still those things. This is politics. Winning the White House is priority #1 for Hillary. The VP should never be risky unless polling and the electoral map requires it as your only hope for a bounce back. Picking a gay man as VP is a huge risk since half of this country are dicks

How is he "safe"? He's the opposite of Hillary on a few subjects (source: TYT) and was purportedly one of Obama's VP picks for 2008 as well (don't recall where I stumbled on that claim, though it was a news article covering something presidenty and all...)

Gates is a GMO promoting fraud. He's the last person I would want being rich and spreading his money around in nefarious ways
