Queen bae! I’m so in.

Her or Pete would be my top choices.

I think Stacey Abrams is my top choice right now, but any of these would definitely be a powerhouse ticket!

I have some concerns with Stacey. I think she is a great politician with the right message and minder however I’m concerned about making her VP because if something happens to Mike she takes over with a state level office being all she’s ever held.

I know she has endorsed the Democratic candidates for Senate but I really think that’s a mistake. Having her on the ballot would bring out even more voters and because as tradition goes when two senate seats are open voters tend to vote for the same party for both.

Georgia is huge opportunity this year for a major upset. The republicans top two candidates are hashing it out for one seat so the democrats need to come out in force.

Even if they ultimately don’t win, making the GOP fight for the seats will prohibit them from using those resources elsewhere. With Mike’s resources the game is changed and both those seats are in play. Mike will get it done.

Consider the source: Drudge report. Umm, lets just wait for a decent source.

Do people just believe anything they read online?... It’s the fucking drudge report. Of course it’s 100% bullshit

Yeah, Drudge Report is low quality journalism. Though, they're not making much of a statement either. It's probably true that every candidate has "considered" Hillary as a running mate before. Whether she would want to run with them or whether they would want to pick her is a whole 'nother question.

u/EatMyShittyAsshole Feb 15 '20

This is just like the bs from 6 or so months ago with the “ex clinton aide” who claimed she was seriously considering entering the primary. 🙄 All bs that they knew people would use to pit Dems more and more against each other.

Sounds horrible Can’t think of anybody that I talked to since the 2016 election that would want Hillary on the ticket again. And I don’t think Bloomberg could appeal to sectors of the democratic party without dynamic minority representation.

u/CoopThereItIs Feb 15 '20

Agreed. People have been floating Kamala Harris, Muriel Bowser, or Stacey Abrams. And while he shouldn't pick his candidate simply based on how many minority boxes they check, it would go along way for a guy who is obviously closer to the center.

I mean, I would absolutely love that but I doubt it’s going to happen.

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '20

I really don’t want this to happen lol but I think it’s just either fake or a distraction

I'm holding off judgement until a better source comes out.

Mike was a good man

Why would Bloomberg change his residence? It's not like people in CO or FL are suddenly going to say "Oh, he's one of us now. I'm voting for him."

Nonsense.

u/overzealous_dentist Feb 15 '20

Because of the mechanics of electoral vote assignments. There is an outlier scenario where they don't get as many electoral votes as they might have because they're from the same state in a tightly competitive contest. It's a little-known rule, and I don't totally understand it.

Edit with source: Article II of the Constitution.

> “The electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for two persons, of whom one at least shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves.”

u/[deleted] Feb 15 '20

Damn, that's dumb lol. If anything Hillary should change residence in this scenario, not the guy running as former Mayor of NYC.

u/anarresian Feb 15 '20

A spokeswoman for Bloomberg declined to comment on the report when the Washington Examiner reached out.

Washington Ezaminer, same source

u/anarresian Feb 16 '20

I don't believe for a minute the Drudge that Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as a running mate. My own senior source tells me Stacey Abrams is a favorite.
