First I don't see Hillary taking a VP slot and waiting another 4-8 years to get a shot at potus.
Additionally too many people would assume that is was a ploy with Bloomberg at the top of the ticket, and then him deciding to step down to give it to the rightful owner (that is the way Hillary obviously thinks).
Hillary had her best shot in 2008 when a political neophyte came along in Obama and took the (D) nomination from her.
She also had much less baggage back then as well.
Today she is radioactive, especially after the excuse/book tour, blaming every conceivable person on earth for her loss, except of course herself.
The Bloomberg team planted this rumor to troll the right-wing media into a frenzy. It worked, they (and many here) took the bait. You've been trolled! LMAO

Exactly - Bloomberg is already trolling the trolls to an extent even I thought impossible. He is letting them dig their own graves...and they are.
First they spent endless time and money attacking people (Warren, Biden) who were never gonna get the nomination. Now they don't know what is hitting them...Trump is sitting in the WH for hours a day and getting bombarded with Bloomberg commercials on Fox.....I wonder if Fox can offer him an "edited" version so his feelings aren't hurt.
This is really fun to watch. I've already long ago stopped caring about who is elected - because the country is basically hopeless if even 40% support a Monster like Trump. So "fixing it" is not really an option.
DrudgeReport and only other right-leaning rags are reporting, with Drudge being the "source."
I think this is Fake News designed to get Drudge some attention and get the base all riled up. Wonder whose idea this was?
Matt has probably seen his income and ad revenue go way down. That's the nature of the internet and media beast because all of the a-holes and haters are fighting for the very same eyeballs....which become less valuable each time they return to a site.
Here's just 1 example. The Clinton's were the focal point for Haitian aid, and here's what resulted:
By January 2019, nine years after the earthquake, USAid had spent $2.3bn in Haiti. Most of it was given to American companies and hardly any passed through Haitian hands. Less than 3% of that spending went directly to Haitian organisations or firms, according to research by CEPR. In contrast, 55% of the money went to American companies located in and around Washington DC.
International disaster relief is not for the faint- hearted.
Corporate and country donations/ pledges for disaster relief often come with strings attached.
Company X agrees to sell trailer homes to a relief org at a steep discount. Never mind they have a surplus because FEMA determined them to be tin cans, following NOLA.
The Haitian recipients claimed they lacked AC- never mind they had no AC or a power sources for it.
If I recall correctly, the Red Cross pulled out of Haitian relief efforts because of the dysfunction and corruption in the country and did so after raising half a $ billion for Haitian relief. Clearly some of that dysfunction was of their own making.
If this turns out to be true, and if Hillary accepts, this is a bad strategy.
If Bloomberg gets the nomination, he should get a VP who is a fresh faced female that younger voters would rally around.
Clinton is too divisive and there's a lot of baggage and dislike that comes with her candidacy.
This would bog down his ticket rather than help, imo.
There's a lot of detrimental baggage that comes with Bloomberg too.
It's called his policies.
