VP prospect Adm. Stavridis would win votes on Danforth

Retired Admiral James Stavridis says his name is too long to fit on a bumper sticker when asked if he might be Hillary Clinton’s vice presidential choice. He could be a big hit on the Danforth however. Meanwhile last-minute preparations by journalists and convention workers are underway at Quicken Arena before the start of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland Monday. On the eve of the U.S. presidential nominating conventions, three new surveys Sunday showed Clinton with a consistent advantage over Republican Donald Trump, even as American voters view both of them unfavorably. The edge for Clinton to become the first female U.S. president, ranged from four to seven percentage points over Trump.
