Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's hunts for running mates: A comparison

Firstpost  

Given Clinton’s decades in the public eye, her advisers don’t expect her selection of a running mate to change her electoral prospects significantly. Top contenders for the Democratic ticket include Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, one of Washington’s most prominent female lawmakers; Housing and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, a telegenic 41-year-old Hispanic politician; and Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. But one Clinton aide said it was important that her running mate help tell the “story” of her candidacy. Clinton is expected to wait until after the Republican convention to announce her running mate, allowing her to use her pick to distract from any boost Trump receives from the GOP gathering.
