Boxer maybe, although if she's going for the all-female ticket, she should pick Elizabeth Warren to nab some of the less idiotic Bernie Bros.

Cory Booker for the diversity, likeability, and shore up the the moderate vote.
Hillary already said that she's going to load up on women (the lesbian thing) so there's no way she will ever pick a black guy (the Arkansas red neck thing).

Not everyone's a racist homophobe like you are, WoG. She's a politician and clearly miles ahead of you in intelligence, and there are politics to be played here.

And there it is.

Social experiment? Really?!? What is the difference between a female and a male vice president? Why isn't the country 'ready' for an all female ticket?
             It would not bother me in anyway to have all female ticket, I'm talking about the masses here. We have come a long way in progression of American society, transgenders and gays have rights that have been long deserved. Woman have assumed powerful positions that were once only held men (CEO'S, congress, senators, mayors and other positions).
To answer your question, it would be too soon for a all female ticket. Point One: there is still a lot of people who would view A all female ticket would be threatening to them. Point two: Hillery would need a male VP for the percentage of voters who are still somewhat traditional. Point Three: Dealing with non-progressive male world leaders, there is a lot of them out there that even female leaders like Angela Merkel has issues dealing with based on the fact there woman. The prospect of a all female ticket be great if the candidates were qualified. I did like your thoughts on Warren has a potential choice. This is a game of political chess, let's get a female president in office first so that way society can progress further, to the point to where a all female ticket would have a higher chance to succeed.

You still have not shown how two females on a ticket is any different than one female. You do realize we're talking liberals and moderates here, right? Why would an all female ticket be any more threatening than a female President? Those people who wouldn't vote for an all female ticket wouldn't vote for a female President in the first place. Those people are all squarely in the Trump camp. Point one and two are moot. The VP doesn't travel and do diplomacy, and Hillary was already Secretary of State, the nation's top diplomat, so that puts to rest point three.

The only downside with the liberal demographic and an all female ticket with the top candidates for Hillary's running mate is the lack of diversity. That's why Cory Booker would be perfect.

This is why Sanders will never work as a VP to Hillary. I can't see him being willing to run with her anyways. He seems to be genuinely against her kind of politics.

Yeah, I suppose the Supreme Court Justices TRUMP any other arguments.  Pun intended. 
I am not happy about it. I feel I will be forced to vote for Hilary, even though she is a horrible person, just because she will be more likely to nominate liberal, or at least centrist, judges.  I don't even want to think about what the Supreme Court would look like after Trump finished with it.  Scary thought.
