(6,172 posts)42. First, she brings in the progressive vote, and, secondly, would also preside over the Senate.
And, she would be an excellent backup if anything happened to Joe.
Remember, the Vice-President is the second most powerful person in the Executive Branch.
That person doesn't make policy, but is very much involved in applying policy, especially in the international arena.
Just because Pence is a dud at Vice-President doesn't mean the office isn't an integral part of the Executive Branch.

Elizabeth Warren would be a very dynamic VP.
And, I would really like Kamala Harris as Attorney General.

When all ramifications are considered (VP is powerless, loss of Senate seat, etc.)

Why we need Elizabeth in the Senate watching out for us, maybe even more than as a VP.

No, he named specifics that Warren was involved in the bill, because she had the most experience.

I believe Liz would have been one of our Top 5 presidents had she been nominated and elected

Typical Zach Carter.. This is the first part of a process. Also, there will be an oversight
