Hilary Clinton opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about possible running mate picks Wednesday.
In a game of “Who’d you rather?” on DeGeneres’ show, Clinton said that she would rather have Joe Biden or actor Tony Goldwyn as her running mate than Bernie Sanders. After Sanders, Clinton says she prefers George Clooney, Beyonce and Leonardo DiCaprio. She also mentioned the Michelle Obama would be “great.”
Clinton nevertheless hopes her opponent will firmly endorse her once he drops out of the race, just as she endorsed Barack Obama after losing to him in 2008.
“Look, I think he has to do what he chooses to do,” Clinton said of Sanders’ decision to stay in the race until the July Democratic convention. “I understand that. I ran all the way to the end against then-Sen. Obama and when it was over, because we had a much closer race than the one currently is between Sen. Sanders and myself. I withdrew. I endorsed him and then I worked really hard to elect him and I do believe that Bernie will do that.”
While on the talk show Clinton also complained about “the meanness, and the finger-pointing and the insulting and the finger pointing” on the 2016 campaign trail, explaining that the country needs to be more “unified.” She also called out Trump’s “derogatory” comments about women, saying that although the business mogul claims to be “good for women,” she isn’t sure how.
Clinton said, “So, I’m sure there is somebody, somewhere that [Trump] might be good for but I think overall there’s just no evidence that he has an understanding of what women’s lives are like today.”
