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.

Plausible?
Would Hillary settle for second place just to make history as the first female vice president?
And keep in mind how many presidents have died while in office.
She could have a shot at being president if some 'unforeseen tragedy' befalls the president.
Arkancide. Any one foolish enough to take her on as VP will die in office. Guaranteed.
No chance. Nobody will have her. Nobody.
This is pure ego
Either a soon to be fired writer at "the Hill" (" .. A number of people in politics, the media and elsewhere .. " or a phone call into the editor's desk requested this headline.
hellery is as dead as pelosi .... they just won't lay down (I KNOW the difference between lay and lie and I chose lay)
Talk about signing your own death certificate
Vegas wouldn’t even set odds against that happening (perhaps Biden was being prophetic with his comment the other day about “dying in office”)
No body who wants to live will ever consider Hillary for a place on the ticket.
And Hillary hasn’t spent her life settling for second best and not calling the shots.
LOL! The Clown Car is picking up hitchhikers in the middle of the night driving near a maximum security prison.
You’ll break down. Too much junk in the trunk.
I don’t think it’s going to happen. Pres. Trump is happy with V.P. Pence.
She can be Biden’s VP then when he dies, per him, she can become President. ;)
the usual suspects will now run around in circles because someone posted a hillary thread.
Bet on it!
Zombie apocalypse ALERT! First sighting.
That collective groan you just heard was from the White House staff.
VP of what? The dems aint gonna win
She’s not fit to do anything..so, VP might be for her.
Hillary becoming President through the back door. Why not? Its not like she has good options unless there’s a brokered convention.

LOL they actually believe that the people who voted for Hillary in 2016 would vote for her again?
People voted for Hillary because they were told by the media that Trump couldn’t do anything he promised
People voted for Hillary because they were told that Trump wasn’t serious about being president
People voted for Hillary because they were told that Trump would start World War 3
People voted for Hillary because they were told that Trump was a racist and hated gay people and wante to put black people to the back of the bus again
People voted for Hillary because................
Those people regret voting for Hillary and are now Trump supporters
This article is a total joke.
