27. She won't be his running mate

She adds nothing that he already adds to the ticket. He will not pick somebody who is almost as old as he is and from a reliable Democratic New England state such as himself. If he gets the nomination he will no doubt select somebody who will actually help him win with groups that he may not be as strong with. I can see him selecting a younger Latino or African-American running mate. Besides, I think we would hate to lose her in the U.S. Senate. I believe that the GOP Governor would appoint a Republican to her place. We need as many Democratic Senators as possible.
