She would make a fantastic veep. The question is: does she really want it? What if she was offered AG?

In any other time I'd say she'd be great at veep and it would put her directly in line for another run at president. But AG? She would be a force of nature and I suspect everything we need in that office right now. I'm sure she's definitely considering both positions because I'm sure she knows either could be on the table for her.
