Who would be the strongest VP pick for Hillary Clinton?

I ran a series of polls on this a year or two ago, and the final result was Sherrod Brown, and Mark Warner had a lot of support too. I'm wondering how different it will be now.

Well, I think it would be one of these:

1) Julian Castro
2) Bernie Sanders
3) Elizabeth Warren
4) Gavin Newsom
5) Claire McCaskill

Number 6 would either be Mark Warner or Kirsten Gillibrand, though Kirsten would be like Jeb chosing Marco as his running mate, it would be very complicated, although totally and entirely legal. I used to think Warner would be one of the strongest, yet I've soured a little bit on him (don't have any particular reason, besides his age at least, I guess it might be as simple as his very disappointing reelection result against a total nobody, and now I'm being really nice against that prick of his opponent lol). Likewise, and now much, much more positive on both Newsom (just extremely intelligent, my God!) and McCaskill (one of the most personable, relatable politicians you have around).

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine:

-Fluent in Spanish. Can bring more Latinos to the Democratic Party.

If you with fluent you mean that he can hardly pronounce one single word in Spanish, then sure. It's clear from this that you don't speak one word of Spanish. On the upside though, Kaine's Spanish is actually ever so slightly better (at least not worse) than that of Susana Martinez, yet that is just because Susana's Spanish is so horrible it's beyond words (and I was absolutely shocked and appalled the first time I listened to her speak it in a New Mexico governor debate).

Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine:

-Fluent in Spanish. Can bring more Latinos to the Democratic Party.
-Centrist. Can appeal to independent voters, which you need to win elections.

Cool, had no idea he was bilingual! Sick of hearing about Julian Castro, he doesn't even speak Spanish lol.

He doesn't, yet he is fully willing (and lusting) to learn it and at least he has the latino cred and could totally persuade latino voters, unlike Tim Kaine who noone outside of Atlas would ever care about. Personally I just get absolutely disgusted by listening to Kaine's broken Spanish, I'm sure that even the ultra-stupid W could speak Spanish in a ten times better fashion than Kaine! It's crazy to think that any sane latino would actually be swooned or swayed by Kaine's "Spanish from Pluto or Jupiter". Spanish is one of the easiest languages in the world to pronounce (the only languages more easy I can think of would be Japanese and Swahili), yet Kaine has absolutely no clue whatsoever how to pronounce it. That should tell you everything you'd need to know.

Kaine is some useless "Democrat" who lost 64 House seats on his watch as DNC chair. Next!

I didn't even know this, but useless he sure is. And he's one of the least charismatic politicians I've ever seen as well. The only thing he has for him, like seriously the only thing, is that he's from Virginia. Noone likes him (outside of Atlas that is) and noone cares about him. I have no clue why all of you guys have such an immense fetish for him.
