The bigger and better question is whether Daddy O'Malley will get Secretary of State

I see him being appointed as Secretary of the Treasury.

Who do you think would be her Secretary of State?

It does seem to be a role slowly turning into previous failed candidates (whether that be Presidential, Kerry, or Clinton in the Primaries). or building up someone's credibility for the future.

Some of Clinton surrogates have said worst things about Sanders and his supporters. Sanders went on reprimanded and apologized for what that person has said immediately. How was he taking hostage of the party? His endorsement had no influential for voters to back Clinton, his only way to get people to vote for Clinton was having his "Version of the party should be" on the Democratic Committee. Because no matter what Bernie would have said nothing would have persuade majority of his voters to side with Clinton rather than go towards the Green Party. This is what every party cand I dates that have influential on supporters does to have a unified party. Same way Clinton got to be Secretary of State. Bernie wanted more of his policies to be in the Dem Platform than a part in her cabinet. Which surprised House Democrats and pundits alike. If Bernie was egoistic the way that Clinton supporters and pundits have potrayed him to be. He would've taken the opportunity to be in the Green Party ticket that was offered to him by Jill Stein, he has said that he isn't running independent nor wants his supporters to write-in him in the ballot.

You really need to educate yourself. At least 85% of his supporters are already backing Clinton. And no, no surrogates of Hillary's said anything worse than "Democratic *****". Get real.

I also think she needs a Nov. VP but for different reasons and also think she will like choose Tim as her running mate. Because this presidency is about her not us. Julian Castro seemed to be in some kinda controversy right now she is less likely to choose him now because of the whole email server situation.

She may be leading now in some states but some are by a margin of error. When they add the other two parties that are eligible in some states that Trump/Clinton gap gets smaller.
Gary Johnson poll numbers is at 13 percent nation wide and are likely to start to rise, this may be irrelevant to the discussion but it might start a rise in the Green Party as well. How is she doing among independents at the moment?

Her presidency is about us, not her. She wouldn't not choose someone because they might overshadow her, she doesn't make decisions based around her ego unlike Trump. It seems like you're a bitter Bernie or buster who is more concerned with twisting the truth to make Hillary look bad than you are with keeping Trump out of the White House which should be every single Bernie or Hillary supporters objective. It's unlikely that Johnson will get to the 15% needed to get into the debates, and Stein will definitely never even get anywhere close to 10%.

Every candidate has picked a Vice President that benefits them as an individual in someway. Whether it helping them getting elected, or just being an asset.

C'mon. Republican or Democrat, Bernie or Hillary, every successful politician has made decisions based on their ego.

Archetype

Booker please. She needs someone young, and Booker also has great experience helping low-income and impoverished communities in NJ. Almost everyone in NJ knows and likes him. It's not certain that he'd be replaced by a Republican, and the district he represents tends to represent people of color and other minorities.

Ramcoro

If they're smart, then It's not going to be Warren or Booker. A republican would appoint their replacement.

RihsusChrist(ATG)

Kaine of Virgina or Gov. Hickenlooper of Colorado would be her best bets...with Trump's awful VP choice of Pence; Hillary can afford to go more moderate with her VP choice, and both Kaine and Hickenlooper are from swing states.

****-shaming young women that supported Sanders where seen as only doing so to hook up with "BernieBros", a term which I have viewed as sexists. A House Democrat saying there is a place in hell for women that don't support other women referring to not supporting Hillary. And how they slander his supporters during the Nevada incident. Having a critical opinion about Clinton, they will start to label you and attack you, she is right and I'm wrong. I have been critical about Sanders about things. I also been critical about Obama''s second term, did I wish he lost to Romney for it, NO.
If no one was critical to their party officials, how are we be able to let them know our opposition on issues. Like Clinton student debt refinance, when voters are shown her plan for refinancing student debt they wouldn't have known that her plan wouldn't have really help them but make things worse for them. Clinton wouldnt have lean to the left so much if Clinton/Sanders supporters didn't say anything. You are labeling me a Bernie or Buster/Trump-sympathizer for not backing Clinton 100% and this why I can't be dully supported of her. It's wrong for people to vote for someone just to stop another for gaining power, but that's the American voting system, where you can't vote the way you want. I'm against Sander supporters voting for Trump as a NeverHillary or write-in Bernie. I think they should be voting for a progressive representatives and Congress if they don't like Hillary's corporatist views. But I do care that Americans vote someone who is likely to win and do lesser harm when they appoint Supreme Justices even if that person is Clinton. Plus that 85% is a true representation of Sanders supporters backing Clinton, that's among Democratic supporters.

Hillary is such a policy wonk. Her cabinet will be iconic.

Also it's worth noting she said half of her cabinet will have women, half will be men because that is the true representation of America. So yeah, take that into consideration......

I think she is likely to name a has been a Senator as SoS than a someone thats been a Governor. There is a possibility she can appoint Bill. Or anyone in her short list of possible VP could be in her Cabinet.
