Drudge Report: Bloomberg considering Hillary Clinton for running mate

Michael Bloomberg is considering Hillary Clinton as a running mate, according to the Drudge Report.

The top right-leaning news aggregator, citing sources close to the Bloomberg team, reported on Saturday that the former New York mayor is contemplating Clinton as a vice presidential running mate after his campaign's polling found the combination would go over well with voters.

Drudge Report founder Matt Drudge said in a rare tweet, which he will likely delete, that the former mayor would go as far as moving his official residence from New York to Colorado or Florida, where he owns homes, so that he and Clinton are not from the same state during the race.

Also of note:

This is the first publicly identifiable statement from Matt Drudge since those rumors of him selling/departing his namesake site several months ago. It looks like those reports were premature.

Just when it appeared his campaign was gaining traction, he goes and commits Arkancide.

Look out America - here comes Mr and Mrs Personality.

Bloomberg will have to double the detail doing preflight checks on his Gulfstream G500 though.

Mini-Mike considering asking Hillary to be his running mate.   Does he have a terminal illness or is this simply a deathwish?

Not likely.

The account is verified (the blue check) under Matt's personal name. If he sold his personal account to someone else it would lose that verification. He hadn't used that account at all in the months it had been rumored he sold the Report.

He may have sold a stake in the site's operations, but it appears he still has some role there.

Cannot see Hillary playing second banana to Bloomberg or anyone else for that matter.  On the other hand, maybe being VP might be less taxing on her health. 

Honestly though I think Hillary's presidential aspirations are over.  She will be grooming the daughter for political office.

For right now, Bloomberg is using her name to run on to help him. Ironically she'll be seen as bringing some sanity to the DEMS and as an alternative to the far leftists.

IF he's given the DEM nomination I think she would accept being his running mate in a heart beat.  No real stress for her -- she wouldn't have the rigorous schedule of running for POTUS.  She can make appearances as her health allows.  Certainly not all that she aspired for, but she would still be the FIRST female vie president in the history of the U.S. Then I can also see her daughter follow her in 2024 and run for POTUS.

You have to wonder if he ran this past her. If so, she obviously didn't rule it out. If not, I think she would see it as the supreme insult. The main thing is that if Bloomberg got in to reserve a place for her when Biden imploded, as I feared, he would never have thrown this out there. I don't think that would have worked, but it's still a relief to have it off the table.

2024 would be too soon for Chelsea IMHO.  Some political experience like senator or something -- then maybe 2028 at the earliest.

I understand your thinking, but times are certainly different -- who needs experience these days to run for political office?  Buttgig for example was a mayor and he's now running for President and so far he's done amazingly very well in both IA and NH.  Perhaps she needs to hold some type of political office as a stepping stone -- but really other than campaigning for her mother and having a seat on the Clinton Global Initiative Foundation, what experience does she have to serve in a political capacity?  She has the name Clinton and perhaps she'd have the money machine behind her -- so I don't think it's a matter of experience, it's just a matter of if she wants to jump into politics.

I can't see how Clinton makes any sense for him. She's not that much younger and questionable health, wouldn't balance the ticket in any way I can see, brings boatloads of baggage including the "foundation" and Bill's sexcapades, and wouldn't bring any additional appeal to minority or swing state voters. A Klobuchar or Booker would make far more sense.
