2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumwhen to Veep
I know some people have asked about who might be Hillary's Veep, this question is about when. When do you think Hillary will announce a Veep? IMHO, she needs to do so asap, because that will give her a bit of an edge and take the camera focus off to Trump (which frankly only helps Jeb try to do his families "look I am the moderate" act.)

(62,406 posts)or about a year from now. I think many see naming a Veep early is kind of an act of desperation. First get the nomination, then name a running mate

(796 posts)It would be very presumptuous to name a VEEP before a single vote is cast. And I say this as a Hillary supporter.

(12,655 posts)any time before that is presumptuous, pandering, and frankly imo, snotty. And I believe that applies to all candidates
