Hillary Clinton
Related: About this forumAs much as I want Elizabeth Warren as VP.....
I don't think it's going to happen, she has too much of rift with Clinton in the past. I think having her as VP will cause friction between her and Warren.
If it turns out I'm wrong then this will be epic seeing two successful women taking down Trump.

If it is an M$M-hyped non-issue, I might have a second look at EW for Hillary's VP running mate.

(135,425 posts)Clinton and Obama weren't 100 percent in sync, but close enough to make it work.
She didn't break with him on ANYTHING while she was SECSTATE--she was LOYAL.
That's how it goes. If you want the gig in the Executive Branch, you have to key off the boss. The people aren't electing the VP, or any cabinet official--they are electing the person at the TOP of the ticket.

(2,032 posts)That was a seriously high number that early in the primary season. Scott Brown took Edward Kennedy's seat in a special election that you would have thought would have gone to a Dem just out of respect. Add that to the recent election of a rEpublican governor and I would be very wary of giving up that Senate seat.
