Neel Kashkari as the GOP VP nominee

[RR1997]

I was looking through an old thread titled "Best Running Mate for Mitt" (this thread was made when Mitt was speculating a 2016 run). On that thread, Vega suggested that Mitt should pick Neel Kashkari as his running mate if he won the 2016 nomination.

I feel like Romney has no choice but to pull a hail mary, considering it will be his second run in the GE.

Probably Rubio or Neel Kashkari.

How would Jeb Bush/Neel Kashkari perform against Hillary Clinton/(insert random Democratic politician here)?

Discuss with maps.

This thread is only somewhat serious.

How about John Kasich / Neel Kashkari? A banker who destroyed the global economy and the guy who bailed the bankers out. Truly a ticket that will excite the average American.

I think Kashkari would work well with Jeb or Kasich. He really did fit with a third-run Romney, though.

I would like to propose Fiorina/Kashkari. It's not like CA will vote for them anyway, so it doesn't matter that they're both from there.

Seriously though, Kashkari would be a pretty awful pick. He didn't even win any counties in the primary (Jerry Brown won 56 and Tim Donnelly, a tea partier, won 2).

That would work too, though I think a woman and a minority would be too much for the Republicans.

Fiorina lives in Virgina (and appears to be running from there), so that wouldn't be a problem (it's constitutionally banned).

Neel Kashari was also a banker at Goldman Sachs for a couple of years.

so a loser with no political experience...Maybe Santorum/Kashkari. Both lost their races by 20 points

Ok. I didn't realize that she had moved. That definitely wouldn't be a problem. As far as I can tell, it would only be a problem for California.

Kashkari deserves to have held higher office... but hasn't, so no.

Why does the GOP love California rejects?

lol you mean the guy that couldn't even get Meg Whitman close? no.
