I was an early supporter of Bernie Sanders because Elizabeth Warren was not running...

If she runs with Hillary, that would definitely add some enthusiasm for a lot of folks, in my opinion.

1. That would improve the picture for sure. I like anything that would improve the odds

of someone like EW ending up in The White House. I'd be surprised if the Wall Street bosses allow that.

2. Don;t think Hillary will pick her. Warren would be far more effective by remaining a Senator.

The VP position cannot affect legislation much. They do get to vote in the Senate by only when there is a tie vote. Warren does not need to be constrained by the VP role for that reason. She can beat on the GOP every single day and on every piece of legislation, all the while, influencing that legislation.

3. First of all, you want a VP candidate that will help you win the general election...

If you lose the election, everything else is minimized in significance.

4. You know what's crazy, what I would have normally,

pre-primary, had posted in a general discussion type of manner regarding this thread, I wouldn't have thought twice about. I'm now sensoring my own thoughts and ideas because of DU now. It was a home in 2004 and beyond... I'm really sad about the loss of a home. Even worse, I'm saddened that discussion is being limited in such a small scope, that DU is becoming even worse of a "thought bubble". Perspective of reality in the real world is highly skewed at the moment.

5. It was certainly amazing to watch them together on MSNBC today.

I voted for Sanders in the Primary, but these two were on fire!!! I got goosebumps!!!

6. It's a bit odd that the true progressive, Sanders, was snubbed by Warren.

[PeaceNikki]

8. She didn't 'snub' him. She stayed out of it entirely until the primary was over.

9. Sanders still hasn't endorsed Hillary Clinton.

And it's a bit odd to say that Sanders is "the true progressive."

7. I was a Bernie supporter and I think Liz is needed in the Senate.

The VP, to quote John Nance Gardener, "ain't worth a bucket of warm piss". The office has little in terms of formal powers.
