That would be fantastic.

But honestly the Overton shift that Yang has had on this field is already a worthy victory.

Trump tried first for Kasich and then went Pence instead of going for someone like Carson, and it was the right pick for him imo.

Candidates like this are already outsiders and don't need more outsider cred. What it would do is placate the establishment wing of the party which would likely throw a hissy fit if the ticket was Sanders/Yang. Hillary has too much failed candidate (and other) baggage to be a "good" VP pick, but Yang is straight up a bad one.

Someone like Warren might be a good middle ground as she does a decent job not angering any one in either lane too much.

Agreed that he doesn't need a double outsider, but Hillary is a symbol of The Swamp and would torpedo his campaign.

I see the following as the most likely VP scenarios:

Biden--> Pete (or Booker)
Warren--> Beto
Bernie--> Warren

I could also see Biden just going with some bland non-presidential candidate a la Kaine in '16.

I think Stacey Abrams is probably the VP play for basically all the frontrunners now that she's admitted she'd be open to the position.

Bernie probably could find someone more to the left but I think he'd rather those people primary someone

Good. It's not like work requirements are a bad thing. And the headline is fearmongering. It is 700k would lose benefits if they refuse to do what is required with work requirements.

You should be actively trying to find work or contributing in some way to society if enrolled in the program. That's what the program is for, to help while you find work.

Pence was selected to run Trump's non-pet agendas, which is why Trump has been an absolute stud with the judiciary (Team Pence is picking all of the judges). Sounds more like Reince's recommendation than Manafort tbh.

There has been some speculation that Honcharenko was the whistle blower who launched the congressional investigation into President Trump, although no Republican has gone any further than insinuations on the subject.

If you wanna know why Bernie supporters are constantly talking about the media's bias against him, look here for what we mean.

PBS NewsHour did a 5 minute segment running down "the candidates" for 2020, and they cover Buttigieg, Biden, Warren, Kamala, Cory Booker, Klobuchar, and even Steve Bullock dropping out, but didn't mention Bernie once.

If you were an unsuspecting PBS viewer, you might think Bernie had dropped out let alone leads or is in second on polls from the first three primary states.

This shit sucks, man.

I also like to imagine how appalled they would all act if Donald Trump said half the shit they said about her.
