in my lifetime I cannot remember a paper ever running an argument that Republicans should nominate a Democrat for any reason
Just noise, she will do nothing of the kind.
It is the unfortunate legacy of what was, at the time, a good decision: FDR appointing Republicans Henry Stimson as Secretary of War and Frank Knox as Secretary of the Navy in 1940. That was a unique historical moment and some people just decided it should become a normal thing.
Closest I can think of was media folks wanting Lieberman to be McCain's running mate, but he was technically an independent by then after he lost the 2006 senate primary so...
Hear me out--Vice-President Mitt Romney! Just think about the possibilities!
It is said that "Desperate times make for strange bedfellows"
There was some talk about McCain choosing Lieberman as a VP candidate in 2008 but I don't think that was driven by newspapers
the media believe that the primary purpose of the Democratic party is to sacrifice itself and everything it stands for in order to save the country from the extremists in the Republican party and that can only happen if it becomes more like the Republican party.
Giving The Onion a run for their money.
Fuck wapo
