Elizabeth Warren joins the crowd at the WH fence.

Just interviewed @ewarren who came down to see the protest outside the White House- she’s getting cheers. She told me she came here because she had an obligation to bear witness to this moment

I love her, but I would rather Biden pick someone younger. She's 70 years old. She can continue to help "make a lot of things right again" in the Senate. And, do you really want to risk losing her Senate seat to a Republican? I don't. There are numerous other women being considered who are just as capable.

61. i don't want a cop/prosecutor in the vp spot
Wed Jun 3, 2020, 11:55 AM
Jun 2020

prosecutors are just the top cop and if you haven't noticed the nation is not too happy with cops right now (for good reason)

we need someone who has national recognition, someone that will bring votes ( I believe warren would do an excellent job bringing any Bernie voters to the ticket and voters that liked some of Bernie's ideas but wanted a little more refined plan)

she has a plan for everything and has shown with the consumer protection bureau ,she can get things passed

names are being thrown into the hat that have never even won a statewide election, that is not a good idea

as far as losing her senate seat to a repub, to not chance that we would have to pick a candidate from a solid blue state, which does nothing to help with the electoral college

But, right now our #1 priority has to be saving our country. We’re teetering at the precipice of fascism. It must be turned back.

... knowing that these pictures will be widely distributed. I love it for two reasons: It makes her look healthy (she's my top VP choice for sure, and I wish my calf muscles looked as good as hers) and it makes her look both confident and relatable.

And my adoration of Bailey knows no bounds!

I'm so proud that she's there, doing the right thing. If she became VP or (be still my heart) eventually became President, what a country this could be!

Walking a dog-- a friendly dog--just has a nice air of good will about it. Keeping the dog on the leash and respecting others goes with that idea; and it should go without saying. (Talking to you, Amy Cooper.)
