Clinton's VP Choices (Week 2)

[Confused Democrat]

Warren is beginning to look more and more likely to be Clinton's VP pick.

Out of everyone rumored to be on Clinton's VP short list Warren seems to be the most active on the campaign trail.

• She gave a full-throated endorsement of Hillary Clinton.
• She's delivered several scathing critiques of Donald Trump.
• She recently visited Clinton at her private residence for an hour-long discussion.
• Recently visited Clinton's campaign headquarters to motivate staffers
• Harry Reid appears to be pushing for her to be Clintons VP
• She, hands-down, has been given the most media coverage out of all the rumored VP choices.

Now with this recent event in Cincinnati, I'm almost 100% convinced it's going to be Warren. Why else would the Clinton campaign be hyping up Warren so much?

Here's a twitter post from Clinton today:

I also believe Warren wrote up a fundraising e-mail for the Clinton campaign recently. Everything just seems to be lining up perfectly for a Warren nomination.

Also, I don't know why everyone thinks Tim Kaine is the odds on favorite to be Clinton's VP pick. If anything, Kaine is the dark horse, and Warren is the odds on favorite.

People think it'll be Kaine because he's an inoffensive white man. That's it.

That seems to be the case.

All I hear are the reasons why people think he'll make a good VP pick, but I see nothing to indicate that he'll actually be selected.

Warren on the other hand...

I totally agree with this assessment. I think Warren will be the VP pick. However, I wouldn't call Kaine a "dark horse" candidate. Even though I think it'll be Warren, Kaine is likely still in the running and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Clinton decided to go with Kaine.

I probably shouldn't have used the term "dark horse" to describe Kaine, but I was just trying to get this point across:

The Clinton campaign has made little to no movement when it comes to picking Kaine as their tickets VP.

However when it comes to Warren, it appears like the Clinton campaign is going out of their way to make it look like she's their pick for VP.

Occam's razor.

The Clinton campaign is either:

a) Making Warren look like Clintons VP because she's going to pick her.

b) Making Warren look like Clintons VP as a part of some elaborate media stunt aimed at shoring up support from Sanders supporters.

I tend to pick the simpler choice when it come to these kinds of things. In this case "a" would be the simpler explanation.
