If Donald Trump can be the Republican presidential nominee then why not Ellen DeGeneres as the Democratic vice presidential nominee?

The popular talk show host talked about the far-flung possibility with Hillary Clinton when the Democratic front-runner paid a visit to her show this week during a Southern California campaign swing.

DeGeneres broached the subject first by asking if it as legal for Clinton’s husband, former US President Bill Clinton to be her vice presidential pick.

The former secretary of state pointed out that it is not since he had already served two four-year terms in the Oval Office.

Then she said to DeGeneres: ‘Actually, I’m here to interview you. I know that you have a lot to contribute and I would make you really be in charge of returning kindness to America – something that you care a lot about.’

Clinton added that DeGeneres could ‘try and lift people’s spirits, give them something to feel happy about. because your show every day does that for millions of people.’

But there are logistics to consider.

Clinton pointed out that DeGeneres would have to leave Los Angeles and move to Washington DC.

While DeGeneres warmed to the idea of doing her talk show from The White House, there was one major sticking point: she and wife Portia de Rossi would not get to actually live in The White House.

The official vice presidential residence is Blair House across the street and Clinton pointed out that ‘it’s a nice house.’

DeGeneres quickly lost interest and said: “I have a nice house. I’m fine.’

And so went the possibility of having the first lesbian Vice President is US history.
