The "more popular" candidate is 4m votes behind



Check the opinion polls,


Are you really going to parrot Sanders on that?


Or polls... There's no debate that this election has two most unpopular people as nominees.

Her "with a cloth" when asked about deleted emails, her demanding of her husband not to focus on Kosovo genocide as her healthcare plan was more important.

putting domestic healthcare reform, with a public option, ahead of neocon foreign policy adventurism is a bad thing?

I can't think of any VP pick that could undo the damage that Trump has done to himself in the center.

Trump already has the honky vote locked up. His VP pick won't matter on that point. I doubt Hillary's will, either.

Hillary has a small chance to counter her 'crooked' image (hence my easier comment about needing a charismatic VP) tho I don't know if the Democrats even have such a possibility lined up.

Frankly, Hillary's best bet is to pick a VP candidate whom the far left will rally around.

rallying the far left has huge costs to the center. having obama warren etc campaigning will hopefully be enough to peel all but the most ardent leftists.

maybe bloomy wants to be vp?

Hillary's problem is that she doesn't excite the base. She needs to drive democrat turnout, which has been very depressed during the primaries. I don't think that there is much for her to gain in the center.

Trump is going to be attacking Hillary from the left on multiple issues. She needs to shore up that flank.

All that's going to do is make the Hillary voters vote more despondantly. They'll still vote against Trump. The left isn't voting for Trump.

significant amount of white collar professional suburban republicans vote for the gop brand. trump basically creates a historic opportunity to get this group and damage the gop.

basically try to make gop unviable as a national party. bloomberg would absolutely destroy trumpkins in debates and the like.

While this is anecdotal I don't know anyone socially who plans to not vote against Trump. My demographic isn't universal of course but he is an extremely unpopular man.

Isn't it the case that democratic voters tend to show up way more frequently at presidential elections than anything else? Is the primary turnout really representative, especially given the fact that the Bernie - Hillary race was largely uneventful?

Meh. VP picks don't matter at all. Clinton will win unless: A) The FBI does something serious; or B) He torches her with a "low energy" moment.
