LAS VEGAS — Fast approaching her final decision on a running mate, Hillary Clinton appears to be looking closely at Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine and Labor Secretary Tom Perez, say multiple people who are in regular contact with her inner circle. But it’s another member of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet whose stock has been steadily and notably rising in recent days, vaulting him into what close Clinton friends call the “top tier": Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack.

If she doesn’t pick a minority, and specifically a black, then she is toast.........................

Hiladbeast is going to throw the left under the bus and pick a “moderate”, IMO.

[GuavaCheesePuff]

Yes. She’ll pick Vilsack or Kaine, two white centrists.

[catnipman]

I hope Crooked Hillary does recycle another obama administration minion, as it pretty much cements the fact that a Crooked Hillary administration is simply an extension of the current Divider-in-Chief.

It won’t be Ballsack.

I think, quite honestly, the current president has soiled the chances of another minority being elected for a long time. He’s singlehandedly put race relations back 25 years. I am sure their own polling will show this.

I’m hoping it’s Princess Little White Cloud

I don’t think there is even talk of any black VP nominees.

Pro-abortion katholyk.

Watch for him in a Communion line near you!

Loretta Lynch?

After all, something about keeping your friends close...

[lee martell]

Vilsack, not Vlasic, as in pickles.

I'm hearing that Hillary's Wall Street donors have threatened to pull the plug if she does that.

Truer words were never spoken. Have a spouse run off and divorce you through no fault of your own, and decide later that you'd like to remarry, and they won't give you Communion. But become a Dem politician and make sure that every abortion possible takes place, and you're golden.

[hlmencken3]

Very doubtful. Like Trump’s VP pick, Hillary’s VP will be more than 10 years younger than Hill. Vilsack’s too old.

[smalltownslick]

Comey!!

[Buckeye McFrog]

One thing’s for sure....record that Pence-Vilsack debate, and you’ll never suffer from insomnia again.

[Sooth2222]

Clintonvilsack, Clintonkaine, Clintonperez or Trumppence?

Two-syllable, three-syllable or four-syllable ticket?
