In my view the party's ticket should include a woman and or Hispanic or other ethnic minority moving forward. If we're going to claim the mantle of being progressive on issues like immigration and equal pay the ticket should reflect that. I think Clinton erred in her VP pick with Kaine. Nice guy. Zero impact on the race.
