After my post on the subject, Ed Kilgore at New York put some actual reporting behind my contention that GOPer pols would love to run against Bernie Sanders, reviving McCarthyism for the 21st century.
About the only thing that has excited me so far during this campaign is the possibility supported by Kilgore that Hillary should select Elizabeth Warren as her running mate. I agree completely--and I especially feel it would inject some passion into what looks to be a teeth-grinding general election campaign. The other possibilities being mentioned (Tim Kaine?--give me a break) are uniformly uninspiring.
Despite Clinton's apparent confidence that Sanders supporters will come home to her in the likely event that she wins the nomination (made more likely by her convincing win in New York), she should not ignore especially the age gap, which this LA Times article suggests is starting to supersede race and ethnicity. Running with Warren--with her rep and her stump style--seems likely to pretty much erase that gap.
