4. I think she would defeat Trump but with a far smaller margin than Joe Biden

The best of both worlds might be if Joe wins the nomination, chooses Elizabeth as VP, and then retires after 2 years in office, allowing Warren to become President. Warren's hero Teddy Roosevelt became President via the Vice Presidency so Warren might very well accept. In that way, Biden's coattails get the greatest number of Democratic allies into Congress. Joe can use his skills to begin a progressive agenda and then Warren can advance that agenda further.
I would prefer Warren as President, but I am thinking the scenario I depicted might be the best way to actually get things done.

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