Is Hillary Clinton angling to become vice president?

That is, Clinton and/or her team could be negotiating with former Vice President , former New York City Mayor or the last candidate standing to join the ticket as vice president.

More than raising her profile, Clinton is getting her political hardball muscles back into shape by sneaking in a few spring training innings.

If she truly has learned something, then having Clinton entertain the thought of "Saving" the Democratic ticket as a vice presidential running mate could be a brilliant political move.

Bloomberg, though a former three-term mayor of New York City, is a political neophyte on the national stage and would benefit greatly by having Clinton - and her machine - at his side.

The obvious question in all this is: Given her ego, would Hillary Clinton settle for being vice president when she twice was within striking distance of being president? The answer, I'm told, is an emphatic yes.

In October, President Trump rubbed salt into those wounds when he goaded Clinton to enter the 2020 race via a tweet: "I think that Crooked Hillary Clinton should enter the race to try and steal it away from Uber Left.".

Clinton arguably could greatly bolster the Democratic ticket as the vice presidential nominee.
