Assuming that Bernie Sanders win the Democratic nomination and decides to pick a governor as his running mate, which of these 3 would be a better option?

Ige, because of racial diversity. But Bullock is also a good candidate on any Democratic ticket. Cuomo? I don't think so. Too controversial.

Cuomo's also a northeasterner. Would be easy to paint that ticket as two northeastern elites.

Bullock - the only non-bad option.

Ige is an incompetent person in over his head. There are too many bad things I could say about Cuomo.

Me too, but I was curious of how other members rank view these 3 governors.  I also thought of including Cooper in the poll but he will be running for re-election in 2020 so he most likely won't be considered as a VP.

Bernie would likely be too old, but assuming this happens, Elizabeth Warren will almost certainly be his running mate. He just likes & respects her too much !

Considering he will be 80 years old... and the oldest president ever elected to the office is 70 years old... I would say someone very qualified as his health/age would be a factor (since he would be 87 if he served 2 terms)

Definitely not Cuomo. Probably Bullock in order to help get moderate support.

None of them because Bernie Sanders won't be the Democrat nominee in 2020 and actually he'll never be the nominee ever. He's far too much of a left wing extremist and way far out of the mainstream

People said the same thing about Trump vis a vis the GOP primary.  I wouldn't underestimate the extent to which Trump's presidency will prompt the party base to embrace progressive candidates.  

Sanders was only 13% away from winning in last year's Dem primary, anyway.  That's an easily bridgeable gap, especially since Sanders has much more name recog now than he did in the beginning of the 2016 primary season.

Someone who endorses a homophobe religious extremist like Cruz & a sexual assaulter racist Islamophobe bigoted Extremist like Trump has no clue or idea about the main-stream & is in a bubble, a detached radical world!
