Hillary, if she wins, will likely also have a Democratic Senate and a Democratic majority House to work with. And Hillary’s VP is likely to be an extreme leftist (Elizabeth Warren or the Mayor of San Antonio).
If Preezy Hillary has a McConnell/Boehner Congress, what would be the difference?
She may have to hedge on her Veep choice - Lizzie Warren would be a serious flak magnet & a ticket with two females might not even garner all of the takers-not-makers vote.
