5. I agree, her lack of prolific nay saying is appropriately significating "Well, if I'm drafted...".

which she will be. They all say "no" for a predictable length of time.

Hillary has already had her "laundry" cleaned perhaps more than most politicians, through the national public cleaners. So, move on, nothing left to see here, and she's effectively shut the mouths of the Rabid Ones by putting in an extra four years as the SoS masterfully, and appropriately selflessly proving her abilities. To watch her evolve from a fierce and worthy competitor against Obama in a very tough primary fight, into his reliable negotiator to the world, was amazing. It's her turn because she has earned it, yeah, over-earned it.

Jeb, OTOH, has never been vetted publicly and personally. He carries way more baggage than Hillary with Bill, who left and still serves in an enormously popular international role. Far from the GWB hiding out in obscurity hoping nobody "notices" the connection with Jeb. It's going to take more than a Spanish-speaking wife to increase Jeb's ascendency in national politics.

I think Julian Castro as VP is qualified, timely, personable and represents the new political realities now called "demographics". This is my "Dream Team".
