Apple CEO Tim Cook Was on Hillary Clinton's List of Potential Vice Presidential Canidates

An email stolen from Hillary Clinton campaign chair John Podesta, and released by Wikileaks reveals that Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz, and Apple CEO Tim Cook were on a list of potential vice-presidential candidates Podesta sent to Clinton.

In an email sent on March 17th 2016, Podesta sent over a “first cut of people to consider for VP.” Podesta says the list is organized “in rough food groups.” The list was sent to hdr29@hrcoffice.com, which appears to be her latest email address.

Here’s the rest of the email:


I’m sure Tim Cook would be honored, but I don’t think Apple shareholders would be too happy if he left Apple to join the campaign trail. Cook obviously jives with Hillary’s politics, and as an out gay man, it would have been a historic vice-presidential nomination.

Thanks to dayglored for the head's up. . .

It's interesting that Bill and Melinda Gates are also on the list!

Openly gay is the keyword here. Doesn’t matter if he would be good at the job or not.

Gates’ have a huge tie-in with planned parenthood and global population reduction.

According to a Hillary campaign email leaked by Wikileaks which contained the long list of possible Vice Presidential candidates, Apple CEO Tim Cook, Bill Gates and Melinda Gates were among those being considered. Of course, an earlier Wikileaks leaked email from a year and a half ago made it plain that Tim Kaine already had the VP Slot locked up, so these names were probably being named internally for purposes of fund raising. — PING!

Thanks to daygloread for the head's up!

The list only had one name on it, and he got the nomination. This is just for show.

Black, female, do-nothing CEO of Xerox. May even be a lesbo too. Perfect fit.

Big money in all that required testing.

It’s absolutely clear that Kaine was picked as a pure electoral map play. Especially after his buffoonish was revealed in the V.P. debate.

However, it was a smart play. I always recommended Trump pick Rick Santorum for V.P., to give him a boost in a state he could use help in, Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, Pence offers no regional boost to the electoral map. After Hillary played that chess move, Trump would’ve been better off responding in kind. If the election is close, one state may make all the difference.

F’ing wonderful. A lesbian president and a gay VP. I shudder to think what else we’d wind up with once all the cabinet positions were filled.

Absolutely.
It's not even interesting whom they thought it would be good to 'show': the rich and the socialist.

Except, there's a Wikileak which says that Kaine had the first line on the job from the git-go, and the other supposed prospects were for show.

Tim Cook certainly is incompetent enough to be her VP, however it is foolish to think he would ever be seriously considered as CA is (likely) in the bag for the Hag.

To Podesta, women and blacks are food groups.

Look carefully at this list.
Lots of crazy lefties here who will probably be running for President independent of Hillary win/loose.
I’m betting Holder for 2020

This is BS to try to make her look cool and edgy.

Kaine was earmarked as soon as they needed him to quit the DNC chairman job so Wasserman Schultz could take over - and they could rig the DNC primaries so the lying criminal would win.
