Word is that Hillary Clinton will announce her vice presidential choice on Friday, and rumors that shes going with a safe pick should worry Democrats. In this political climate, a search for safety could put her candidacy in serious danger.
Change vs. the status quo.
The GOP chose Mike Pence in part because his extremist views will reassure the Republican base. Pence is also an seasoned politician whose nomination is meant to reassure voters who worry that Trump has no experience in statecraft or governance.
(Note to readers: Yes, I just used the words Trump and statecraft in the same sentence. It feels as strange to me as it does to you.)
Clintons needs are different. She has to energize and excite the Democratic base, along with millions of millennials who have never voted. She needs to bring excitement, and a sense of the new, to a campaign conspicuously lacking in those qualities.
Voters remain deeply dissatisfied with the status quo. Clintons biggest problem, and the greatest threat to her candidacy, is the fact that shes seen as the candidate of the status quo.

No, Clinton needs to go to jail...like anyone else would be if they’d done what she had.
Please pick Princess Running Mouth!
Thought she already had——Tim Kaine
Rachel Donezal would be perfect.
She should pick Deval Patrick, if she wants leftists behind her.
Clinton should pick Alan Grayson. Wouldn’t THAT be fun?
The warden at her new residence.
Or Liawatha. But if she goes with her, all her Wall Street money dries up.
I am betting she picks Sanders.
Yep
The Rats know that H*****y is not likely to last out her first term (health reasons). That means that the VP pick will be the one they REALLY want in the White House.
They need to go hard to the left, regardless of what H*****y wants.
It will be a black or mexican..they need a race baiter to attack Trump/Pence. It makes it harder for us to fight back because they can use the racist and the woman hater cards interchangeably if they have a non-white VP.
ROFL!!! That’s it!!! Thank you ;0)
If Hillary takes their advice - she’ll turn off swing voters.
And Far Lefties don’t like her all that much to begin with.
A leftist VP pick won’t warm them up to Hillary.
Tim Kaine is too moderate for the Democratic Party base.
Hillary needs to maximize base turnout without offending moderate voters.
Tough call.
Don't hide it - Flaunt it.
All this time they should have been wondering who BILL would choose. Then again, I’m starting to think they may have old Bill locked in that closet with the server.
Hillary’s statecraft is more like witchcraft. LOL.
