14. Elizabeth Warren as VP would be a cynical and self-serving ploy on Hillary's part.

Warren would be used to make us believe that Hillary would actually even listen to progressive and liberal ideas, and then be relegated to dinners and funerals and committees whose recommendations would never be passed by a GOP and/or DINO Congress, much less signed by Hillary. This would make the Third Way and Wall Street, as a bonus, extremely happy, as they consider that Warren has "gotten out of hand" as a Senator.

It wouldn't sway me one millimeter towards Hillary. We would still be subjected to war and fracking and the TPP and increased H-1B visas and fiddling with Social Security, and other Third Way neocon and neoliberal objectives. Only with one less vote against them in the Senate. Win-win for Hillary, lose-lose for the 99%.
