5. I love Elizabeth Warren and think she would make a great VP. But there are a lot of possibilities

to be considered. I am sure that Hillary will pick a great running-mate from a great pool.

She'd absolutely shred whichever dolt Drumpf added to the ticket, since you know that asshole won't add anyone who may look smarter than he is. That basically narrows it down to Dan Quayle and Sticky Ricky Santorum.

She is much more powerful in the Senate.
If she truly believes is reigning in wall street she will stay where she can be effective.

14. Nope. That's US Senator Elizabeth Warren.

We want to keep her where she can do something good.

Also, it would be a mistake to put a sitting senator as VEEP. We need every seat we have there.

Those were the words of a VP.

Thing is, as a Senator, she loses nothing by attacking. She would still be able to work across the isle in the Senate because most republicans don't seem to respect him either.

A little different than most elections.

Ma. has a repub governor so a repub would fill her seat in the Senate. Dems need to take back the senate so Hillary can fill the Supreme Court seat with a real liberal.

17. Harry Reid has looked into it

She can put in her resignation minutes after she is elected effective just prior to her assuming office. The Governor has to call a special election and the time starts ticking the day of her resignation letter, not the day her resignation goes into effect. Any appointee would serve not more than 90 days.

19. Problem is that one slot could be the difference of Dems taking the senate.

The governor can immediately appoint a repub for those 90 days.

18. Please shop elsewhere for funeral attended in chief and tie breaker.

It's called a waste of resources.

Grab Dean, or pull Barbara Lee, or have another go with Biden if you just need an attack dog for a few months.
