Killary's thoughts on Candidates and a Woman VP
This is interesting, why isn’t she endorsing Biden? Is she trying to play neutral like Obama or is it about something else?

Quote:During the interview, Clinton accidentally revealed that Biden's chances of winning the White House are slim given he's built a similar coalition to the one she had in 2016.
“What Joe’s victories on Super Tuesday showed is that he is building the kind of coalition that I had basically. It’s a broad-based coalition. I finished, you know, most of the work I needed to do for the nomination on Super Tuesday, and then it kind of lingered on. And I think Joe is on track to doing exactly the same thing, putting together a coalition of voters who are energized," Clinton said.
Broad-based coalition? Energized voters? Hardly.
Clinton may have built enough support to beat Bernie Sanders on Super Tuesday, but then she failed to do the necessary, tough campaigning against Donald Trump during the general election. Instead of campaigning in Wisconsin, she attended swanky fundraisers in the Hamptons with Hollywood celebrities. The reacurring theme of 2016 is that she couldn't find Wisconsin, or even Michigan, on a map.
Clinton's so-called "coalition" failed on Election Day 2016 and a lack of support led to the crumbling of the usually reliable "blue-wall" of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
If Biden has built a coalition like the one Clinton had, which for some reason she's touting as a success, then he's bound to lose to President Trump in November.

Quote:Hillary Clinton said in an interview broadcast Sunday that while she would leave the decision about a running mate up to the eventual Democratic presidential nominee, she would “love to have a woman on the ticket, finally -- again.”
“There are so many factors that go into it,” she told CNN's Fareed Zakaria. “Personally, I’d love to have a woman on the ticket, finally -- again. We’ve had two women vice presidential candidates -- one for the Democrats, one for the Republicans.”
“But obviously, I’d like to keep that moving, and actually have it happen in this election that someone would be the first woman vice president,” she added.
Democrat Geraldine Ferraro and Republican Sarah Palin have been the only female vice presidential candidates from the major parties.
Clinton also encouraged the eventual Democratic presidential nominee to “take a really hard look at the Electoral College”
“Because I think our nominee could win the popular vote again, as I did, but that doesn’t matter, as we know,” she said.
Clinton, the Democratic nominee in 2016, won the popular vote by almost 3 million votes, but lost to President Trump, who earned 304 Electoral College votes.
