As much as I want Elizabeth Warren as VP.....

I don't think it's going to happen, she has too much of rift with Clinton in the past. I think having her as VP will cause friction between her and Warren.

If it turns out I'm wrong then this will be epic seeing two successful women taking down Trump.

1. I don't think there is any friction. Warren certainly doesn't seem to think so.

I think the rift is mostly a fabrication.

4. I hear about this 'friction" but now I'm wondering if it's not just an M$M-hyped thing, so

I'll defer to those who might know more.

If it is an M$M-hyped non-issue, I might have a second look at EW for Hillary's VP running mate.

6. Elizabeth Warren is a mature adult--if she takes the job, she knows what it means.

Clinton and Obama weren't 100 percent in sync, but close enough to make it work.

She didn't break with him on ANYTHING while she was SECSTATE--she was LOYAL.

That's how it goes. If you want the gig in the Executive Branch, you have to key off the boss. The people aren't electing the VP, or any cabinet official--they are electing the person at the TOP of the ticket.

8. Trump took 49% of the rEpublican vote in Massachusetts.

That was a seriously high number that early in the primary season. Scott Brown took Edward Kennedy's seat in a special election that you would have thought would have gone to a Dem just out of respect. Add that to the recent election of a rEpublican governor and I would be very wary of giving up that Senate seat.

And I'm glad she can get in the mud so Clinton doesn't have to, but I think double female is too much for the 'Boys Club' to stomach and Clinton should pick a man for VP.
