Policy positions are for the campaign. What she’s done is more predictive of what she will do than what she promises to do during a campaign.
We’ll find out, hopefully.
Trump went after Elizabeth Warren on Twitter, begging Clinton to select her as VP calling her a fraud and of course the juvenile “Pocohontas”.
About an hour ago, she responded and ripped him a new asshole. Ripped his asshole a new asshole, actually.
For me, at least, trading insults adds nothing to the political process - even when the insults fit.
“Democrats familiar with the search” have it down to Kaine, Vilsack, and Perez, and that she’ll make the announcement Friday in either Orlando or Tampa.
Any of those would work well, although in different ways. And none would turn over a Senate seat to the Children’s Party.
I think the favorite is Vilsack, with Kaine a close second. Perez, no chance. That’s just base bait at this point.
If it is Vilsack or Kaine, it continues a long streak for Democrats of selecting superb running mates.
“Superb” meaning “white male”? :dubious:
Superb meaning qualified and not divisive. Cory Booker would be a superb choice who isn’t a white male. As would Bill Richardson.
Why don’t you think it’s Kaine, with Vilsack a close second?
I would also love to see Vilsack.
MSNBC said today that it’s down to Kaine, Perez and Vilsack.
Vilsack is a longtime Clinton friend who endorsed her in 2008. Kaine not only endorsed Obama in 2008, but Clinton was quoted in Game Change as calling the possibility of Kaine as Obama’s VP “a horrible choice”.
My suspicion is that Vilsack was decided on long ago but there’s no VP drama if others aren’t on the short list.
*Anybody *they nominate is someone you would consider divisive. The good ones are always the ones who aren’t candidates, aren’t they? 
On both sides.
I have a sudden urge to put a lot of money on Perez on a prediction site…
Stavridis, IMO, is the best pick; especially given Trump’s recent comments on NATO, Erdogan, etc.
If it’s Vilsack, admit that you apparently know nothing about Hillary Clinton.
I’m not making any predictions – I have very little idea who she’ll pick.
Not Perez, You can take that one to the bank. The betting markets agree: 4% on predictit. 75% Kaine, 12% Vilsack.
We’ll see. But you’re “you can take that one to the bank” makes me think the betting markets have Perez a little too low. IIRC, Gingrich was as high as 70-80% on the betting markets a few days before Pence was picked.
Not a scientific process, just the effect that your certainty sometimes has on my gut feeling.
I can definitely say it will be someone more charismatic than Pence. I don’t care what the betting markets are doing, those that bet don’t know and those that know don’t bet. I will be surprised if it’s anyone but Vilsack or Kaine, she is comfortable with both of them and they have her trust. We should find out Friday, but she may hold off a day or so in order to keep us talking about the Republican convention, otherwise known as the Mistake By The Lake.
