As Bernie Sanders gets ready to endorse Hillary Clinton, he is also trying to push her towards a progressive choice for Vice President. "I happen to believe that we should have as our vice presidential nominee a very strong progressive voice, somebody who has a history of standing up to big money interests, somebody who is gonna fight for the working families of this country and who has a history of doing that", Sanders has said. Elizabeth Warren has been mentioned as has Jeff Merkley who seems to have Sanders' backing. I have already gone on record against losing a progressive voice, or any Democratic vote, in the Senate in order to fill the VP slot. Democrats can't afford to waste that vote. That's why I support Tom Perez for VP. Whatever he may lack in experience, he makes up for with a strong progressive resume that will appeal to Sanders' voters.
