Clinton VP news LATEST: Podesta now calling the losers to tell them its not them

Yes having probably about a 45% chance to be Vice President is career suicide for her....are you kidding me???

And if Trump wins, like he has been, she almost certainly would be the nominee following him and have been VP and governor of NM; but yeah who would want that...

Man o man some of you need a serious reality check about Trumps chances in the general along with the HUGE opportunity for someone to become Vice President of the United States.

A Hispanic woman with governor experience and than VP experience would almost certainly lead to her being president after Trump if he can get this crappy economy going over the next 8 years.

You understand that being Trump's VP means pretty much breaking up forever with most of her family and friends, yes? All for the privillege, at best, of being humiliated in public on a daly basis for the next 4 to 8 years in DC (if Trump wins) or being tarred, feathered and run out of her state (if he looses).

This is a good point.  Martinez's family is Democratic, as is her husband's family.  She would never be forgiven for teaming up with Trump.

I have no clue if they are, but this is of minor import. More importantly, they are Hispanics - that trumps the party affiliation at this point. She could have become a VP for Cruz, Bush, Rubio, Kasich, Ryan or whoever else without a problem. But going for Trump means  insulting everybody around her.

That' all very true, but I was looking for a distinguishing factor between Martinez and Sandoval, the latter of whom bent the knee and reluctantly endorsed on Trump's 1st day as presumptive nominee.

Besides everything else, there are many more Hispanics in NM.

In any case, it is one thing to "bend the knee" and say that you will vote for the party nominee - and quite another thing to accept a VP nomination. The latter presupposes, actually, campaigning.

Ernst says no one from the Trump campaign has contacted her about VP vetting:

You think Trump would be doing vetting?!!

I just realized, Kaine would be the second Catholic VP in a row!
