Hillary Clinton is considering selecting another woman as her vice presidential running mate, according to campaign officials.

Following her convincing win over her Democratic rival Bernie Sanders in New York last week, she has already begun turning her attention to November's general election.

This offers the intriguing possibility of not just the first female party nominee but the prospect of an all-woman ticket.

This week, John Podesta, her campaign chairman, told the Boston Globe that women would certainly be on the list of possible vice-presidential candidates: “We’ll start with a broad list and then begin to narrow it. But there is no question that there will be women on that list,” he said.

Such a bold move would stand in contrast to her failed run in 2008 when she shied from emphasising her historic status as potentially the first female nominee for America's highest office.

How about Caitlyn Jenner?  Just think how many in betweeners you'd attract with a ticket like that!

How do people not see that voting for somebody because of their gender is just as sexist as not voting for somebody because of their gender?

In the same way that people could not see that voting for somebody because of the color of his skin was as (or more) racist as not voting for someone because of their skin color.

It was racism that elected Barack Obama.  It will be sexism that might elect Hillary Clinton.

I hate to admit this but I have already accepted that Hillary will be the next president. Those that think like you won't support Trump, and if Trump gets shut out at the convention many of his supporters will refuse to vote for the candidate chosen for them. Either way Hillary wins, and we get the Clintons for another 4/8 years.

Well, then, Trump will have achieved his goal in destroying the Republican Party/Conservative movement and in helping elect his buddy, Hillary.
