NBC: Hillary Clinton to name VP pick during visit to Florida this week. Ex-Florida governor Charlie Crist said to be among candidates.

oh for fuck's sake

Crist has demonstrated no talent – twice! – for wooing independents.

cmon no way just a leak for cheap publicity

Crist? Why on earth would his name come up for veep? It's not like he could deliver Florida or, for that matter, any other state. He'd just be filler on the ticket.

Rubio would be an interesting 3D chess move.

11D chess

It will not be Charlie Crist. I would put money on that.

besides, how many women can he marry?

clinton camp just floating that cause they know media will go nuts over the unity ticket, and right in the middle of the gop convention too

Initially read this as Chris Christie and was very confused

the big man in demand

Christie can go fetch Hill's Chipolte.

chipolte is bae --hillary clinton, 45th president of the usa

Hills Chipotle for vice president
pros: engages millennials, latinos
cons: may poison entire country

when does lyin' ted speak at the rnc???

please not christ; although it would be interesting to have "CHRIST" on all her signs, maybe would confuse the evangelicals. FWIW Christ seemed like an alright guy, but milquetoast and ultimately not cut out for government.

Oh it's Crist. well still

christ's biggest failure was failing to cut off jerusalem's internet

also if she's going to hire a closet case clearly booker is the better option

was kinda thinking booker is looking like a safer bet just lately

Good catch from John Gruber: https://archive.is/0qouQ

So perhaps what’s needed now is a bolder form of censure after all, because the internet is not a universal human right. If people cannot be trusted to treat one another with respect, dignity and consideration, perhaps they deserve to have their online freedoms curtailed.

lel

sent to the virtual corner to think about what they did?

booker a classic empty suit pick in the jon edwards tradition

Does Booker come complete with a sordid adultery scandal tho

some vacant centrist governor wld really be the perfect hillary pick tho

any realistic leftish picks besides warren

The Upshot’s elections model suggests that Hillary Clinton is favored to win the presidency, based on the latest state and national polls. A victory by Mr. Trump remains quite possible: Mrs. Clinton’s chance of losing is about the same probability that an N.B.A. player will miss a free throw.

the upshots election model (which really only works on election eve)

horrifying xp

lol

NBC is NOT reporting anything about Charlie Crist. We're not sure where this came from.

all presidential elections should be decided by a free-throw contest tbh

means we might never see president shaq but you can't make an omelette etc

president rick barry

just to clarify the thing we said was not true

CBC News Alerts @CBCAlerts
Clarification: NBC not linking Clinton Florida's visit to the possible selection of Chris Crist as VP. Earlier CBC tweet implied otherwise.
