If Obama loses the bid for POTUS to Hillary, he will be on the ticket as the VP running with her. No matter what they say today, no matter what they have bombed each other with to this point in the campaign, Hillary NEEDS Obama to win in November.
Obama out of the running means disillusionment amongst a hefty amount of MSM indoctrinated, thus naive electorate whom will simply not vote period.
The crowd that pays little or no attention to reality, only the Disney perspective (MSM, MTV, holding hands, dancing to and fro with their Leftist saviours in the manicured rolling green meadows, accentuated with the bluest of skies and greenest of trees.) of life will not vote for Hillary without their Obamagic man.
Nope.
Neither can have the other on the ticket because the staffs hate each other so much, and neither could trust the other to hew to the policies of the ticket leader.
Instead, Obama will nominate some other nondescript woman. Hillary will nominate some other nondescript black.
This will calm most blacks and/or most women. But not all. The net gain on this will be maybe 1-2% — which will suffice to win.
