Will Hillary Announce Her Running Mate This Week

https://www.willhillarywin.com/2016/07/19/will-hillary-announce-her-running-mate-this-week/

Signs are pointing to Hillary making a decision on her pick for Vice President later this week. Now that Donald Trump has chosen Mike Pence as his running mate, Camp Clinton has all the information it needs to make the final decision.

Unlike Trump’s very public show of picking his running mate, Hillary Clinton has conducted her search with the utmost secrecy. Clinton has no shortage of candidates who would love to run with her, and her biggest challenge will be not offending those not selected.

Virginia Senator Tim Kaine continues to lead the list as the front-runner. Sen Kaine would be a safe pick, and Hillary has little need to be anything but safe at this point. Kaine brings a solid record of government service and is well suited for the primary role of the vice president, which is to be a heartbeat away if necessary. Kaine, who is 58, would bring a touch of youth to the campaign, just as the 57-year-old Pence will do for Trump.

whoever she picks is ok for me..cant wait....

With things like "so-and-so is too boring" or "so-and-so means she's afraid of losing the white male vote" or "so-and-so isn't liberal enough to excite Bernie supporters" or "so-and-so is just another corporatist".

Frankly, it looks as if the VP selection process is just a back-door way to attack Hillary and to subtly re-hash all the old battles from the primary.

I understand that some folks haven't accepted things fully yet, but I'll sure be glad when this process is over (not just merely "over", but "over-over".)
