4: Hillary wants her as her VP candidate, but to do that needs to raise her profile

So she accuses Gabbard of being a Russian agent, pissing her off in the process, and that's supposed to make Gabbard want to be Hillary's VP?

That doesn't make sense at all

No, Hillary's operating from some baser level of fear

[Verginius Rufus]

In 1980 George H. W. Bush called Reagan's economic ideas "voodoo economics" but still accepted Reagan's offer to run for Vice President.

Politicians rarely pass up a chance to be the running mate. The one exception I can think of is Teddy Kennedy in 1972, turning down McGovern. McGovern didn't have a Plan B so had to scramble to find someone else which led to his hasty selection of Eagleton.
