We can pretend that Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential pick matters, but it doesn’t. In fact, it may matter even less than usual. Very few voters like or trust Clinton, so instead the campaign is turning into referendum on Donald Trump.

But as a tactical matter, who Clinton picks will influence a couple of news cycles this week, and then there will be the VP debate. So let’s game this out anyway. Who should she pick? (Stipulating that on Earth-2, the non-scandalized David Petraeus is the natural choice.)
