I feel like Hillary is about to drive her campaign into a massive wreck, and all I can do is watch.

185. I agree with your preference for Elizabeth Warren

For all of the reasons you list. Unfortunately, there are other lists which may be more important right now as much as that might be personally disappointing. The campaign does its own internal polling and has a finger on the pulse of what the electorate, especially in swing states, is looking for. Those concerns and the number of people with them, in the places that matter in November, may be greater than the numbers reluctant Bernie holdouts represent.

The GOP itself is using a lot of terror scare tactics and some undecideds are looking for a strong foreign policy/military type, which EW is not. There is also a significant populist movement and that might mean someone outside establishment party politics would draw more votes. The rustbelt, of which swing state Ohio is a part, needs a job recovery program and there are several people in contention who are stronger for that than Warren. The choice really depends on which person is best suited to address criteria the campaign is privvy to and we are not. I suspect whoever is chosen will likely be a very good fit for what will be the larger campaign takeaway message/narrative.
