There have been rumors that Hillary Clinton was about to throw her hat in for the 2020 race as Bloomberg’s running mate, which is far better than the idea that she might run for president. But while in Puerto Rico Clinton finally decided to answer and we can all rest easy that she is planning to sit this one out, or so she claims.
“Hillary Clinton yesterday said she would not be Michael Bloomberg’s running mate if he asked after coyly brushing off questions about whether or not she’d accept the invitation.
Clinton was speaking at a Clinton Global initiative in Puerto Rico, when the moderator asked; ‘Should Bloomberg win the nomination would you consider being his running mate?’
She shot back: ‘Oh no! [laughter] No.
‘I’m just waiting and watching as this plays out.’
Clinton, 72, replied as she laughed off the question. ‘I will support whoever the nominee is, as for the all the reasons you can imagine … we need to have a new president for our country.’
Last week, the 2016 Trump challenger refused to rule out the possibility when speaking to Ellen DeGeneres. Although Hillary conceded ‘that’s probably not going to happen,’ she told the host, ‘never say never.’
But in the last few days there has been rampant speculation that Bloomberg, 78, was considering Clinton after Matt Drudge of Drudge Report took the unusual step of putting his name on a story which states as much.
Neither party had made any attempt at denying the headlines.
‘We are focused on the primary and the debate, not VP speculation,’ Bloomberg Comms chief Jason Schechter said in a statement on Saturday.
Bloomberg is rapidly becoming the DNC’s favorite, appearing strongly in polling and in the betting markets as the only candidate offering a real challenge to the firebrand socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders. “
Can you imagine all the complaining we’d have to deal with after she loses? Hillary sitting out is a win for America
Bloody might be an IDIOT and LIAR but I don’t believe he or any other person running for the Democrapic nomination is suicidal. Because they would have to be to put Hitlery on the ticket with them. They would be dead before Inauguration Day was over if she were their running mate.
I bet that is a load off bloomers mind lol.. No more nightmares about having some weird accident hahahaha.
Ain’t no way that crankles (my new nick name for her) would lower herself to run with any mere mortal ‘man’ especially one as squishy as little nanny warbucks.
Who is she screwing at this Clinton Global Initiative. Certainly no body would trust her
So pleased to know that none of this really matters. Why all the interest in who gets to lose to Trump?
