NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton has tapped Monica Lewinsky as her running mate for the 2016 Presidential Election.

Clinton said in her address to a rowdy crowd, “Monica is the only woman who has actually tasted the Presidency. Her first-hand knowledge will help lead the nation after President Obama steps down from office.”

Seen as hostile to her enemies, Clinton hopes to quell those dissenters who think she hasn’t put the past behind her. Lewinsky comes to the race with no political baggage of her own, just personal regret.
