For Hillary Clinton's bold choice for VP, how about Keith Ellison?
The Star Tribune ^ | June 2, 2016 | Zachariah Sippy

With Bernie Sanders’ recent appointment of Keith Ellison to the Democratic platform committee, the congressman from Minnesota will start to get some of the attention he deserves.

Some have considered the possibility of a Hillary Clinton-Xavier Becerra ticket, which would certainly be interesting. But as a former Sanders supporter, I am near certain that the California congressman will not fire up the young, liberal base that has pushed so hard for Sanders.

How about him? I’m sure the Muslim factor would be a huge draw in the wake of Nice, the French nightclub, Turkey, San Bernardino, etc.

In a different time the selection of Keith Ellison would seal HRC’s fate, and she’d lose by a landslide.

In the new, politically correct, brainless Amerika, the selection of Keith Ellison could very well be the push the evil HRC needs.

Regardless, she has lost the election. Both BLM and the terrorists have handed the election to Mr. Donald J. Trump.

“In the new, politically correct, brainless Amerika, the selection of Keith Ellison could very well be the push the evil HRC needs.”

A gentle correction is in order.

First, call America AMERICA.

Second, this summer and all its horrible incidents have handed Mr. Trump the White House.

If she has any sense of self preservation, she’ll realize this is a bad idea for her, personally. Just one suicidal jihadist is all it would take to have the USA run by Muslims, whose allegiance lies elsewhere.

Hell, maybe Huma would do her in for the MB.

Great choice - an actual Muslim as opposed to the secret Muslim now occupying the White House.

Right now security is a BIG ISSUE.

I’ll call Amerika, America when I see some glimmer that she can be the country she once was. November 2012 galvanized my view of the country and many of it’s inhabitants.

Secondly, I hope you’re right. Anyone would be better than HRC. I still have misgivings about Mr. Trump, but will enthusiastically vote for him in November. Unfortunately, that may not be the case with out fellow citizens.

I am very confident Mr. Trump will win because security will become job #1. Pretty much thanks to both BLM and ISIS have handed him the White House.

The only concern I have is the issue of MASSIVE VOTER FRAUD. I belong to an organization that both fights and prevents voter fraud called “True The Vote”.

“Ellison was the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Congress.”

OMG if there is a God in Heaven please, please, please dear God let this be true — Hillary, please pick Ellison.

How about MooShell Obama? That way we can keep it in the family. Then after Hitlary’s 8 we can have 8 more from MooShell. By then we can have Chelsea for 8 and then the Obama girls will be old enough. Hell if we play things right there will never be another real President that cares about the good of the Nation. /s

I was confident that Romney would beat Obama. How could he lose? Obama had a proven record of being ineffective, duplicitous and weak.

The American people showed me that they were capable of extreme stupidity if coached hard enough by the media.

The only thing I am confident of at this point, is that the American people have lost their way, and are incapable of disregarding the garbage they are fed by the media.
