“Why on earth do people keep repeating that absurd hypothetical?”

Trump could easily shut it - and her campaign - down by saying it ain’t gonna happen. But he refuses to do so, even amid reports she is on his VP list.
But that’s what they are trying to bait him into doing…. it’s a sign of weakness to discuss running mates - it implies the ticket is weak and needs to be reinforced or mitigated.
Plus, the less the enemy knows the better.
He should neither suggest a short list or rule out anyone - what he’s doing shows strength.
