A number of people in politics, the media and elsewhere are openly speculating that if Democrats wind up with a “brokered convention,” with no strong or viable nominee evident, Hillary Clinton might enter the arena as the “savior” who could unite the delegates and go on to defeat President Donald Trump.
Clinton herself seemed to throw shade at that theory during an interview with Variety at the Sundance Film Festival. When asked about the “urge” to beat Trump, the former Democratic nominee said: “Yeah, I certainly feel the urge because I feel the 2016 election was a really odd time and an odd outcome. But I’m going to support the people who are running now and do everything I can to help elect the Democratic nominee.”
Several politically savvy Democrats have told me that “everything” may be a much more plausible and powerful scenario.
That is, Clinton and/or her team could be negotiating with former vice president Joe Biden, former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg or the last candidate standing to join the ticket as vice president. She would add the gravitas, delegates and, eventually, millions of votes needed to get them over the finish line on Nov. 5. I am assured that Clinton is on every short list for that position.
If I were in Trump’s world, this scenario would send chills down my spine.
There is no doubt that the former first lady, New York senator and secretary of State once again is raising her profile and stepping back into the spotlight to re-engage in political discussions.

If I were the nominee, having this woman as running mate would send shivers down MY spine!
Biden, or anybody, would have to be insane to have Hillary as a VP.
Johnson was Kennedy’s VP and he had him killed
Beat me to it!

We might as well turn the country over to the Borgias.
And it’s an election year ending in zero - the curse may come back.
Once the inauguration is over, there would suddenly be a discovery about Hunter Biden and the Ukraine, China, or something. A quick impeachment, and suddenly the Borgias are running the country.
The corrupt press would turn on a dime and decide Biden and his son were criminals...and that 'the rule of law matters' and 'this is an attack on democracy' and all the usual crap they usually use against Republicans...
