UPDATE: Awful reality has a very rude habit of interfering with schedules, especially festive Veep announcements. Because of the tragic attack in Munich, Germany, it would appear the announcement is being delayed, or perhaps Hillz is simply running late to the Tampa event. we're getting mixed signals in Wonk Central about whether the announcement is still happening at this Tampa event. Tweet from Hillary (marked with "H" so you know it's her, not an intern), says she's engaged just now:
Very little is certain about the Munich attack yet, except that it's horrifying. Which won't stop Donald Trump from saying something awful, we're sure.
Original story, written pre-Munich news:
Haha, do not be silly! Killary Clinton never faces Justice for her many crimes, even though she is the greatest crimer ever to hold the position of First Lady, when she regularly held Murder Teas for her enemies. Usually in the China Room, although when an especially large number of people needed to be dispatched at once, the East Room. Instead, she is going to announce her Vice Presidential choice, who will either be Saul Alinsky, Tim Kaine, Elizabeth Warren, Sherrod Brown, or Ivanka Trump, just to throw people off. Except she won't be weirdly caressing nobody's hips at this thing, because Huma would object.
All of the speculation and received wisdom from the interwebs says it will be Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who seems nice enough, though a tad less showy than, say, your Elizabeth Warren. We have a feeling that Hillary Clinton is choosing someone who might help a little in a swing state, but mostly someone who will be good at vice-presidenting. But who knows!? That's why we are all tuning in to watch this important announcement. Now stop fussing, she is not choosing Bernie Sanders.

It would kill him, with votes. His Id-feuled ego would melt.
How does that work?
it's called having a spectrum of considered opinions and not being a lickspittle follower of fashion.
Example: my wife is hella progressive, but is in favor of MUCH STRICTER alcohol, drug, and gambling regulation (she's seen friends destroyed by addiction) -- to the extent that you would need to be certificated by a doctor that you are able to function effectively in the presence of said thing (including an estimation of your personal limits)
Otherwise, she is (occasionally) even more progressive than me (but I'm an old-school Scottish socialist... 'nuf said)
