So, who wants to bet on when Hillary announces Warren as her VP? (Original Post) NuclearDem Jun 2016 OP

She has populist credibility, she's enormously well-liked, and I don't think the campaign could pass up a golden opportunity for an historic all-female ticket like this.

It's an important note/issue but bores the heck out of me if that's all they bring to the table. More useful in Senate/Congress where they can nurse and grow said issue while at the same time bringing up nationally! JMO

I think HRC is such a diversified Presidential Candidate and I like that! ~However, I trust HRC to pick whoever she feels/thinks best.

Campaign unless she (Warren) can remain true to all of her ideals. And I'm not convinced that the two of them see eye-to-eye on some important issues.

join forces to defeat a common foe. That's pretty much how politics works.

I'm a little surprised no one's suggested Al Franken yet.

Warren is an outstanding Senator - she can do more there - the VP really has little power - and must follow the President's lead. I trust Hillary to choose the best candidate. And I trust her to choose outstanding cabinet members, and SP justices.

and I'll say it again. While I'd love to see a two woman ticket, I don't think our country is quite ready for that yet.

Over two months after the last primary (June 3) and when Hillary dropped out (June 7), and three days before the DNC (August 25-28).

I think she will not be the VP personally but it would be a nice edition to the Clinton team.

but I've been wrong before, and I'll be wrong again (and again!). I think she'll do more good in the Senate and I think she and Hillary know that.
