I’m not so sure HRC can get a bounce from a VP pick.
She is toxic enough that signing on is more likely to destroy the reputation of the selected individual rather than help Clinton in any way.
Plus she’s in a “diversity” bind. She’s not going to pick a black person because she thinks she’s got that vote locked up. She can’t pick a white male without offending half her base, and she can’t pick a white woman without having an internal ticket diversity problem. And she can’t pick a Hispanic without it being an obvious pandering reach into the backbenches, since the only Hispanic of sufficient stature in that party is Bill Richardson, who hates her.
No choice now. Has to be Kaine. Note this thread...
