A question for Warren supporters.

I know some don’t like the what if speculation game.
But, let’s say she wins the nomination.
Do you have a favorite in mind for her Veep.
I say Julián Castro.
A little more moderate than her, Latino, from Southwest.
He really impressed me in first debate showing some fire.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

There are certainly other names that will pop up after the nomination is decided.

Used to live in SA and like him a lot, but wasn't getting a strong vibe before the debate.

More to be seen, but think the field for the Prez is down to ~4 with another 3/4 possible for VP in the current crop.

I think she would surprise many with her choices for VP and cabinet. IMO, since I hate the idea of vacating another Senate seat on top of the one Warren would vacate (horrors), any current Senator would not be on my list. I would like to see the Repubs' heads explode to see her appoint academics to cabinet posts.

would be a good balance and the first women president-vp team in history of the world (maybe?) and assorted combination of white, jamaican, indian and purported native-american. Works too if Harris is pres and Warren is veep

Wouldn’t vote for one woman, then it really doesn’t matter if there’s two on the ticket for them.

Solid progressive. Always ranked near the top. Strong congressional connections and well respected by his colleagues. Would do well campaigning in states like PA and OH.

That would make it two East Coasters on the ticket but I'm not sure region matters as much anymore.

might decide in March or April to drop out and endorse Warren or vice versa.
They are splitting the most progressive wing.
If not, I think they will basically hand it to Biden.
