Barbara, thanks for your reply.

Admittedly, I know very little about Pence, so it is possible I'm inserting my foot in my mouth. (Glad I just showered) I only mentioned him because he came off as a much cooler head than Kaine imo. I would be happy if she selected any reasonable moderate Republican. (yes, they exist)

My thinking is by crossing the party line, it could actually do a lot towards unifying our Country. Admittedly I'm not looking at the details with that remark, just the possible message. In my opinion "Stronger together" is a better slogan if she's willing to destroy the party barrier. I know its idealistic and not realistic though.

Like you, I find zealots that unnecessarily push their personal agenda/beliefs on others disgraceful. America is home to many ideals and many beliefs, all should be respected as much as reasonably possible.

If she reaches out to Moderate Republicans in a reasonable capacity, it will help isolate many of the hate mongers on both sides imo.
