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

[ag]

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.

I've been hearing rumblings about Jim Webb.

No way that doesn't lead to a floor fight at the convention.

They'll do a acclamation vote, and regardless of what happens, Paul Ryan will bang the gabble and say the nays have it.

The "gabble"?

With Carson heading the committee maybe that keeps him from actually getting the spot.

[Fargobison]

Article about Rubio and some of the stuff going around about him and Trump/being his VP. Sounds extremely unlikely...

How about Charo or Paula Deen?

It's completely baffling how Carson is riding Trump's dick after being compared to a child molester by him

[President Johnson]

I'm quite glad that Castro is being reported as off the list.  He has just about the worst possible gaffe for a campaign against someone like Trump:   

"Joaquín and I got into Stanford because of affirmative action. I scored 1210 on my SATs"

You can bet that Trump would read that aloud for 3 months and call him Stupid Julian.  It would be absolutely brutal.

I doubt Castro is off the list. Or do you mean only Jacquin?

Some media observers think that'll be Castro for Hillary and Kasich for TRUMP. I like both. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/05/05/john-kasich-julian-castro-trump-clinton-running-mates-odds/83974594/

Ah, yes. The media observers who said that your candidate never had a chance?

Kasich wouldn't agree to it.

[BuckeyeNut]

Kasich would never be Trump's VP. He's too interested in running again come 2020, when he'll be a relatively young (compared to this cycle's frontrunners) 67.

[heatcharger]

I just watched some interviews of Hickenlooper, he seems... low-energy.
Creating an all-women ticket with Elizabeth Warren seems good on paper, but idk she seems too combative and that doesn't really match Hillary's tone so far. And plus there's the whole 2004 video of Warren basically saying she stabbed her in the back, which Trump would find a way to exploit.
I think Tim Kaine is the logical choice, he's competent and can handle attacks pretty well.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Who would want to be on a Trump ticket though?

Someone without a political future anyway.

[Likely Voter]

Just a little not about Tom Perez that was kind of funny/interesting. He was on CNN's Smerconish and was asked if he was willing to do the "dirty job" of taking on Trump as Clinton's VP nominee. He gave the usual vague reply about how he was not vying for the job, but then he said "I've had a lot of jobs in my life, including working on a garbage truck"   Which kind of sounds like a "yes" to me.

Palin is asked if Trump wanted to talk to her about picking her as his running mate, what would she do:

https://twitter.com/CNNPolitics/status/729298775601258496

She doesn’t exactly give a Shermanesque denial, but does say that she’s “realistic” enough to realize that she might be a burden on the ticket and “doesn’t want to be a burden”.

Uncharacteristicly self-aware, Sarah.

Kasich wouldn't agree to it.

He would. He's second term (term limited) governor. If he wants a chance to ever become president, it is the VP slot on the TRUMP train.

Sanders doesn't rule out accepting an offer to be Clinton's running mate...at the end of a contentious convention:

Why on Earth would Hillary Clinton want Bernie Sanders as a running mate?

Also, putting Bernie Sanders a heartbeat away from the presidency would be seriously tempting fate.

LOL Gingrich.

What does Gingrich add to the ticket? Only a lot of weight. In the actual sense of the word.
