Hillary Clinton's list of potential vice presidential picks may be getting shorter and shorter, but, Politico reports, there's one thing still holding her back: Donald Trump. Clinton reportedly wants to be absolutely certain that Trump will be the Republican presidential nominee before she makes any moves:
The selection process, however, is colored by new uncertainty among Democratic donors and Clinton allies who are no longer convinced that Donald Trump is sure to be the GOP nominee. A big advantage of holding their convention second, Democrats said, was being able to make a final pick with full knowledge of the GOP ticket.At a fundraiser in Manhattan earlier this week, Clinton was peppered with questions from her top donors about whether there is any chance that the Republicans could nominate someone else — she said she thought the chances of that outcome were low.
