The Bernie backers who might have voted for Hillary will vote for Trump if she picks Stavridis.

I don’t see how she can explain this away. Bernie did VERY well.

ANY military person who would vote for Hillary should be hauled up in front of the corps (Corpse) and be summarily deprived of all pay and allowances JMHO!.

Stavridis’ grandfather fled the (Turkish) muslims to come to the US.

This would open a very wide door as to the mishandling of national security communications and documents. I’m sure the good Admiral would be very upset with a SoS that is so cavalier with national security. Watch him bend himself into a pretzel defending the egregious and careless activities of Hillary. Was he OK with Beghazi as a military man? We’ll see.

same lack of character as hillary...

In 2012, Mr. Stavridis was investigated for having improperly used a military aircraft to fly with his wife to an exclusive party in Burgundy, France with winemakers.

hey it’s on the TAXPAYER.... what differnce does it make mentality..

Based on an anonymous complaint, in early 2011 the DOD IG began investigating allegations that ADM Stavridis “engaged in misconduct relating to official and unofficial travel and other matters.” He was subsequently the subject of a May 3, 2012, report by the Inspector General of the Department of Defense[18] and was later absolved of wrongdoing by the Secretary of the Navy on September 11, 2012.

"James Stavridis, Retired Admiral"

As far as I'm concerned, this guy is already damaged goods by association alone.

I am sure there are not many people who would be willing to be Hillary’s running mate. Short lifespan runs commensurate with the job.

This guy is CFR, NWO 100%. Look at what he's written:

Foreign Affairs Article NATO's Victory in Libya Authors: Ivo H. Daalder and James G. Stavridis March / April 2012

NATO's operation in Libya has rightly been hailed as a model intervention.

From 1990 to 1991, he served as an International Affairs Fellow at CFR

He also served as commander of U.S. Southern Command, with responsibility for all military operations in Latin America from 2006 to 2009.

She followed Bernie's endorsement speech with "Senator Sanders and I" ... and ... "Bernie and I" ... highlighting just about every program she was going to introduce as president.

Bernie stood there and smiled but the closeness of the two was, imo, phony.

I believe she is going to imply Bernie as long as she can because she knows America is not buying into the socialist agenda.

Stupid kids are ... but not Americans.

Bernie has more thinking followers than hillary and she knows it ... she NEEDS Sanders' voters.

I don’t know how good a Bolshie Stavridis is, but, I don’t think he will stop the sniping from Warren or Sanders.

I find this a bit entertaining...

Donald J. Trump has been vetting a number of Military persons so she can't allow him to overshadow her, so she tells the handlers to find some Military dude to shut her supporters down...lol

She was so angry during her speech with the Bern, she keeps this anger up and her B/P is going to blow..She is EVIL to the bone...

C'mon, he was cleared by the IG...lol. Laws are for the 'little people', don't you know?

Rank has its privileges. We have far too many generals and flag officers for our current force structure. Lots of dead weight in the officers corp.
