Though I don't think the ticket should be all white, I think gender and ideology are most important this cycle.

Then again, it depends on the candidates. A Pete/Warren ticket would tackle gender and ideology, and probably get slaughtered in the general because I can't think of a more lily white ticket.

So...I think it depends. But at the bare minimum, there needs to be some ideological unity.

One of the reasons I don't want Biden is that I don't think he would play this game- he would pick who he wants. There wouldn't be a progressive even close to the ticket.

I have my doubts that Bernie and his supporters are ready/willing to play that game too.

Both seem set in their ways and loyal to their surrogates- not unlike Hillary. Hillary picking a loyal walking bottle of mayo was one of many, many mistakes.
