33. She is one of my least favorite people in this race.

Nevertheless, I still believe she will be the one he will choose if he wins the nomination. If he lives up to his expressed desire to have a woman then he will choose her, as she will be perceived as the one who can bring votes to the ticket and will not be too threatening to the moderates and right in our party. There are far too many on the left like me who will vote for a hunk of snail snot before we would not vote or vote for a Republican. And while I agree with many in the comments above that she is as bland as white bread, those votes in the Midwest are crucial to winning the election. They will count the numbers and she is the one who will add the most, or at least not lose any. Yes, my position is a cynical calculation. I think a mid-westerner on the ticket. is what can pull those electoral votes in our favor. Face it Tim Kane did nothing for Hillary vote wise in the last election. He's a lovely man with a multitude of great qualities and ideas, but he couldn't draw the votes from those key areas.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
