Former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper says he'd consider putting a woman on his presidential ticket, then asked why female Democratic presidential candidates are not being asked if they would select a man as their running mate
The comment struck a number of Democrats as off base, especially considering that the nation has never had a female vice president."Governor," CNN's Dana Bash said at a presidential candidate town hall,"some of your male competitors have vowed to put a woman on the ticket. Yes or no, would you do the same?""Of course," Hickenlooper said, before saying he wanted to ask Bash a question.

Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, another 2020 contender, was asked Sunday if she would pick a man as her running mate."I was wondering, would you consider picking a man for your vice president?" a reporter asked after a town hall in Memphis, Tennessee."I want someone who is going to get out there and fight on behalf of working people. That's what matters most," Warren replied.
