Hillary will not permit this. The juxtaposition would be too, to much.

Could U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy's rapid political ascent land him on a presidential ticket in November?
A report in USA Today Monday listed Murphy as among those who would be interested in the vice presidential spot alongside former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
A Murphy spokeswoman declined to comment on the report.
"Some progressives would also offset a weakness of Clinton — who will be 69 by Election Day — that she can’t compensate for with her résumé: her age. Murphy is 42," reads the story by Heidi M Przybyla, the paper's senior political reporter.
According to a report from MSNBC, Clinton could be inclined to pick a Senator from a state with a Democratic governor. If she chose Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, or Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, the Republican governors of those states, Charlie Baker and Chris Christie, would be able to choose a GOP replacement.
Ronald Schurin, political science professor at UConn, said Murphy "comes right out of central casting" as a vice presidential pick.
"He's a young senator, very bright, articulate, with a good electoral record," he said.
But Murphy doesn't offer sway in a crucial swing state like Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio would. Still, having his name come up in the vice presidential conversation "doesn't do Murphy any career harm," Schurin said.
OMG. This guy is to the LEFT of Obama and Hillary... If that is even possible!!
Throwing out a lot of names...just to see if anybody cares.
He seems to fall in line ....
I just read his statement concerning the ISLAMIC TERRORIST ATTACK in Orlando. No where did he mention ISLAM OR MUSLIM.
Crap floats.
Film at eleven.....................
After yesterday’s comments, he may not be a senator much longer.....................
White male? Never happen
Hillary will not permit this. The juxtaposition would be too, to much.
Besides that, even with this choice, CT might be a Trump surprise. CT people are so TOTALLY fed up with politicians having ruined their state that they just might vote to Make America Great Again.
(that's the feeling I got from a trip back home)
He’s a peter puffer look at his lips.I know that chin has been a resting spot for a scrotum at some point in time
Hope she picks Kasich. We need him out of Ohio!
I sincerely hope she chooses Ohio’s Sherrod Brown. He is a left-wing nut-job. ...really, as an Ohioan I would love to get rid of him but I certainly doubt the American people would like him much.
Yes, this is the real question for any Rat VP candidate. Is that person anti-American, filthy, corrupt and lawless enough to survive in the Clinton underworld???
Malloy,Blumenthal or Murphy.All fit the narrative
Great news if he represents this adage: Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. Murphy’s Law
Creating Crooked Clinton Chaos
He met the grifters first criteria, he's pro pay-to-play. I'm sure a few million to the Clinton Family charity will sew the nomination right up.
f she chose Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, or Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, the Republican governors of those states, Charlie Baker and Chris Christie, would be able to choose a GOP replacement.Wow, good thinkin'! Don't like the lying b----, but Hitlery teaming up with Fauxahontas is the one matchup that might tip the balance here and there.
He’s a sniveling leftist. Worse than bammy and hillary.
