So, if Hillary gets the Democratic nomination, could/should Bill be her running mate? I just did some Google searching, and it should technically be legal for him to do so.
That would be pretty funny, and as far as I remember, people tended to trust Bill's decisions, at least far more than the current president's decisions.
Come to think of it, her having any VP would seem pretty weird. I've never actually paid any real attention to VP selection, so I'm rather clueless on how much having different political views matter versus having appeal to voters.

VP's are generally used to draw a state over. Therefore, Bill might work since it seems Hillary is NY and Bill is AK.

It would be a terrible move on her part, and he's not even a good lock to get AK.
|
That'd be pretty good incentive for someone to shoot her

VPs can also be used to tie two sides or ethnic groups together, for example of Obby won, he could chose Richardson to be both Hispanic, and west coast.

Right, but people would lose huge amounts of respect for Hillary if Bill were her VP, because they'd all be hoping or believing that he's pulling the strings and not her. Cheney and Bush was one example where people believe the more powerful "second" is doing the job of the "first", and I think Hillary with Bill would be an even more extreme example of that.

I don't think this would be a politically good move. Besides, she already said that bill wouldn't have an 'official' role in her administration (if that means anything).

It's actually not legal. I think it's the 12th amendment (I might be wrong) where it says that all candidates running for VP have to be eligible to run for President, and Bill's not eligible for that.
|
no fuck no
considering the entire democratic base is against it fuck no
|
No it's illegal due to the fact that no one can be president for longer than 10 years total and since the VP is second in line for the presidency if something should happen it would make Bill ineligible to run for President. But I mean who would want Hillary as president....
