OK What does Warren bring to the table other than "exciting" the left wing of the party?

[RBInMaine]

Yes she's very smart and a good lawyer. Yes she is a good speaker and goes after Trump HARD. Yes she is good on economics. And YES, I THINK SHE IS GREAT IN MANY WAYS.

BUT, she has less than four years in the Senate. No major executive experience. She's from a deep blue state so no new geography. No new demographics. No gender balance. (YES, that IS a reality in America.) The voters she "excites" are already voting for Hillary. She would be replaced by a RePUKE governor. She is needed in the Senate to lead there.

I love Warren. But she doesn't bring much other than "excitement" and that isn't enough. Kaine or Vilsack are much better in the big picture. MUCH better. They bring executive experience and purple territory. They bring gender balance too, and, as I say, it's a reality folks. (I am also not for Booker or Castro, much as I like them and I do VERY much, but they ARE NOT READY FOR THE PRESIDENCY.)

This isn't Disneyland or Hollywood. It's not about play time at the campaign rally. It is about who is most READY to be PRESIDENT if necessary. Warren is not ready. Kaine and Vilsack are. Simple as that.

1. She has proven to be an effective attacker against Trump.

She annoys the living hell out of him and causes him to focus on her instead of on Hillary who can then focus on America. The fact that Warren excites the left wing of the party is simply a bonus.

13. There is no reason she can't continue those attacks as senator...

Just like she's been doing until now.

2. Except for 1960, the VP nominee has little impact on the election.

10. And this is an election like no other....

"Exciting" just may be what the dems need this time around.

3. Millenials. Liberals. Progressive domestic policy.

An insurance policy against impeachment. The proven ability to humiliate Trump and get under his skin.

Everything that Hillary is not...she is.

The question is, what does Kaine bring?

[MichiganVote]

9. executive experience

[Barack_America]

11. Hillary is weak in executive experience?

News to me.

But hey, I guess that doubling up on your positives and leaving your negatives unaddressed is a strategy. A winning one against Trump though?

[MichiganVote]

12. You asked what Kaine brings to the ticket. I answered. Take it easy.

[ibegurpard]

4. a signal

That Clinton might actually be committed to serious economic reform.

[PatSeg]

5. She is a great communicator

Something Democrats seem to have a problem with. Also she is really smart. I can see a dynamic team in Hillary and Elizabeth.

[geek tragedy]

6. she's effective in delivering a populist theme, straight talking, and she's an effective

attack dog.

[6chars]

7. she gets results

creating the consumer protection bureau was a huge accomplishment - before she was in the senate. then she was its defacto first director. then senate.

8. First 3 sentences of paragraph 2 - you just described Barack Obama!!

[Stellar]

14. Yep, sounds like him.
