There is much speculation about the VP picks of each major party nominee. What VP pick in the realm of reasonable possibilities would make you stop supporting that candidate if there even is one that would cause you to do so?

I've never heard of someone stopping supporting a candidate because of the VP pick.

Bernie Sanders I guess.

I really don't care who the VP is, and think it's kind of silly to change one's support just over the candidate's VP pick.

Elizabeth Warren or Sherrod Brown would be a dealbreaker for me. Hilary WILL lose my vote to Johnson if that happens, no matter what.

No one. Would be very angry if Clinton doubled down on her hawkish FP and chose Admiral Stavridis.

Maybe if Hillary picked Cruz or Inhofe I'd refuse to vote for her, but there are definitely no realistic VP choices that would be dealbreakers.

Of course, only people who barely willing to support a candidate and could easily switch would factor in a VP pick.

Tim Kaine wouldn't quite be a dealbreaker for me, but he's the only potential VP candidate who would make me less likely to vote for Clinton.

Kaine would be a dealbreaker for me, in fact anyone from Virginia/West Virginia. Any military candidate as well.

lol, the real answer is none, just like it is for everyone else in this thread.  She could pick Bernie Sanders and I'd still vote for her over Trump.

Bill Cosby, perhaps?

Then again, President Cosby is a hilarious thought...

Sanders or Warren would give me pause but I'd probably still hold my nose and vote for her anyway, unless it's on course for an absolute blowout.

EDIT: I did vote for McCain despite Palin in 2008, so I'm probably don't have much of a leg to stand on here as it is.

Cheney? Palin? Nobody realistic. Maybe if she picked someone which made it clear that everything people say about her is secretly true and she actually has a hit list, is a lizard person, etc. DWS? Louis Farrakhan? Lyndon LaRouche?
