Adam Schiff or Andy McCabe also being up for AG!

I don't think it's "awesome." Drudge is making this stuff up, IMO. Drudge is setting Trump up for a nasty set of tweets attacking both Bloomberg and HRC. It's his bread and butter, and it's unnecessarily damaging to Clinton. Jeez. Leave the woman alone.

who actually won the 2016 election popular vote would run as Vice President. What a bunch of nonsense.

It's Drudge.

I did mention it was nonsense.

That's why some of the replies to this are making me laugh!

...and she did not say no, instead saying she didn't think anyone would ask her. That may have been before Bloomberg was in the race, I'm not sure. But I suspect that she would seriously consider such an opportunity. Being the first female VP would still be a huge one for the history books. Plus, there is some potential job advancement serving under a President who will soon be turning 80.

Bloomberg/HRC would make drumpf bounce off the Oval Office walls.

...but on the negative side, I'm afraid it would motivate maximum turnout on the Trump side, as there is basically nobody they hate more. And on the flip side of that same equation, I'm not sure it gets us any more votes than Bloomberg himself. What state does she help him carry that he wouldn't get anyway?

I think I'd rather Bloomberg ran with someone who more people really liked, someone who wasn't underwater in favorables (outside the base).

out in droves. Having said that, I think she would make a marvelous VP.

Maybe Bloomberg will ask her to be Secretary of State again.

What is your purpose?

Oliver Darcy is a media reporter for CNN. Neither of us linked to Drudge.

What does “he, nor I” even mean? Neither of you did? Huh? Somebody did.

On edit - sorry, after re-reading, grammatical error on my part. Fixed.

Just because someone else posted it doesn't mean Drudge isn't the source of the assertion. He quite obviously is, though you also explained why you're posting it, of course.

The screenshot in the tweet links to a larger version of the snip, not to Drudge.

I posted it because:

a) Oliver Darcy is a legit journalist who covers media for CNN

b) *To me*, this really seems more like Bloomberg psyops on Trump than Drudge trying to push a improbable narrative on his gullible viewers (I say viewers because 95% of his hist are people just reading the headlines on his HTML 1.0-based page, not actually clicking thru)

I think it makes more sense that it's Drudge, trying to jack up Sanders supporters and keep the division fires stoked.

You know...same as last time?

I think the Bloomberg connection might be one more step than is really required for a conclusion, though you could be right.

Sorry for the Raw Story link. It's one of the few original articles they publish:

I mean...really...

...this really smells more like MB's team having a cookout in Trump's cranium.

I like that. He has Trump's number.

at least CONSIDER ... whether Hillary would deign to be their running mate.

She did, after all, win the Popular Vote in the last election.

a VP slot. I think she's done with running for office, and I can't blame her one bit.

And Bloomberg violates common decency...but, hey, he's not Trump, so who cares.

and they'd still run with a Clinton headline.

Also, they are both nominally NY residents AFAIK. The Constitution demands they be from different states. One would have to pull a swicheroo like Dick Cheney did and claim a second/vacation home as primary residence.

Good term! Made me laugh!

It's a rule of thumb with me. I still think this is disinfo fed to Drudge by his campaign, though. Apparently, he has a team dedicated to this kind of thing (psyops with one recipient in mind; Trump).

I would suggest a black woman as VP. Abrahams is my first choice.

Good move, Mike.

He's already questionable to a lot of folks. Bringing in another person that will have their own baggage would be foolish. I know Hillary's baggage is not of her own making. Its still baggage that many voters may not want. Hillary still has a lot of haters. It would be foolish to have two people carrying baggage.

I think his campaign probably started this rumor

Just like people talked about Stacy for Viden's BP in the beginning

Hoo-boy.

Not seeing a legit print media outlet running with it. But it's all over RW outlets. MAGA heads are popping like pimples all over the US now. And, Iiiiii like it!

in the first place. I mentioned in the other thread, there is a 2016 article that spoke about using such a strategy to make him more palatable to those who have more knowledge of the policies he supported. He will not be seen as suitable to many. It was suggested in the article to pick a VP early and one that would be likable.

It's Sludge, he will do anything to put a hit piece on Hillary.
