Related: About this forumHow would you vote in various scenarios? (new edition)
Hi, I posted this a while back, it was interesting to see the replies, but it sank pretty fast. In light of some of the accusations flying recently, I though it might be interesting to post it again, to see how people here are actually thinking!
I'm curious how people here on each side of the Hillary Clinton/Bernie Sanders divide would vote in an alternate universe where Elizabeth Warren would be running against Joe Biden.
Specifically, I would love to hear how you think you would vote in each of the following two (primary) scenarios:
Scenario A: Hillary Clinton versus Bernie Sanders . . . . . . . . . . Scenario B: Elizabeth Warren versus Joe Biden

In case anyone doesn't already know: Sanders and Warren are FDR Democrats. Clinton and Biden are Third Way Democrats.
But Clinton pretends to be "just a little bit FDR" in order to win over Democrats who don't follow politics very closely.
Sanders doesn't have to pretend. He's the Real Deal.

Well, that probably undervalues it as it is at least worth the rent on the Naval Observatory residence and the help getting through DC traffic.
Who is in it, is not going to win my vote. I would question the sensibility of any smart dynamic leader who took it on.
Let some Joe Lieberman-like fellow go for it. Let the good politicians serve where they can really make a difference.
