According to the Drudge Report, Mike Bloomberg is considering naming Hillary Clinton as his candidate for VP. This, we are told, would be a "formidable force" according to polling.
Just imagine that team. Imagine it!
1. First, Bloomberg obviously is unconcerned about all those reports of people who were inconvenient for Hillary, who have died mysteriously. One wag earlier today tweeted that Hillary would come with an 8 foot long rope and a pre-written suicide not.
2. My first item obviously got ahead of itself. A bigger question would be Bloomberg/Clinton winning a general election. How many of the Bernie Bros would stand for this. A combination of the guy for whom the rules were changed in 2020 so he could beat Bernie with the woman for whom the same thing was done in 2016, hardly seems like the best way to pull in Bernie's supporters. They might not actually vote for Trump, but it's hard to see them turning out on election day.
3. Putting Hillary on the ticket makes it impossible for Bloomberg to be someone outside of the "swamp". You just don't put the queen of the swamp on your ticket and then claim to be an outsider.
4. There's only one politician in America whose presidential (or vice-presidential) candidacy is almost as tired as that of Hillary Clinton: Joe Biden. Adding Hillary guarantees Bloomberg an outcome similar to Biden's.
Personally, I think it's a wonderful idea. It guarantees that Bloomberg has no chance.
