When will/should Hillary announce her VP pick?

[LonePirate]

It is widely believed that Hillary will wait to announce her VP nominee until after Trump announces his VP choice. With the Repub convention scheduled for next Monday - Thursday, it seems like Trump will announce his selection this week. When will/should Hillary make her announcement considering that the Dem convention is exactly one week after the Repub convention.

Should she announce the day after Trump announces? Should she wait until next Friday or the weekend after the Repub convention? Should she announce her pick during the Repub convention? Are there any other options?

1. Could wait til the DEM convention, following week.

2. I would tend to agree with this statement.

3. Also there are so many great choices so makes sense to give more time to the choice!

4. I'd announce it during the Repub debate

Like right as Trump was about to speak.

8. Candidates don't campaign during opposing party conventions

I doubt Hillary would do that during the Repugs convention. That's never done before and would not be looked at positively at all.

13. Would it be acceptable for Bill Clinton to campaign next week? NT

16. No

5. I think she should wait until the convention.

There needs to be some drama to attract viewers to the coverage. Obviously, she'll be the nominee. We need something to wait for during the convention.

6. Do it the Friday morning after the GOP convention.

That will step on any positive press they may get coming out of their convention and set the media narrative for the weekend.

17. This

Immediately steal their thunder heading into the weekend.

7. I think everyone should let Trump's pick sink in a little

Dems need a moment or two to gather intel

Our VP pick should have nothing to do with Trump's VP pick, but it certainly should be timed to re-direct the conversation and the energy and excitement that comes with realizing a magnificent team that will be leading the nation.

So after the Rep Convention for sure.

9. After the GOP Convention--Trump will still get a boost from his convention

and she could counter it with a strong VP selection of her own.

10. We can at least be thankful that Evan Bayh is not on the list.

[John Poet]

12. In-between the GOP and Democratic conventions.

That Friday. They can barnstorm together for three days before the convention starts, when the news cycles will be void of convention news, and probably be a big item on the Sunday news shows.

14. whenever she wants to.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. couple days after Repub convention, i would guess.

it's going to be kaine (i hope not, but the liberal punditocracy agrees that it will be)

[bigwillq]

18. Whenever she feels like it

Whenever she thinks is best for her campaign.

19. Whenever she wants to rip the cameras away from him.

20. Sounds like next Friday (after his acceptance speech the night before) would be ideal for that.
