If you don't want Bernie and HRC falls in the polls before Philly...could you live with Warren?

[Ken Burch]

If not...why not?

[cliffordu]

1. Actually, I'd prefer Warren to either.

Right now.

[emsimon33]

2. No, we need her in the Senate and she didn't run in the primaries

It would be a blood bath for the Democrats. It would be a slap in the face of Bernie supporters as the DNC would be saying: "Anyone but Bernie."

Bernie has built a revolution. Tulsi Gabbard sacrifice her career to support him. Where was Elizabeth Warren?

[Ken Burch]

3. I hear what you're saying...this OP was actually pitched towards HRC supporters.

Wanted to see how THEY might feel about the idea.

I'm for Bernie all the way to Philly.

[emsimon33]

4. Thank you for the clarification

Of course, Hillary also has never held an executive office so the Hillary supporters may like Warren on that angle.

[fun n serious]

6. Hillary has more expierence than Warren but I love Warren too...

[fun n serious]

5. Polls will NOT kick hillary out of the race

There is no way in hell anyone would support that. Kick that idea out. Won't happen. Watch some Hillary speeches and you will get to like her

[Miles Archer]

14. "Watch some Hillary speeches and you will get to like her?"

You mean it's really that simple? That's the missing ingredient?

WOW!

Because if I know one thing with absolute certainty, it's that the DUers who haven't "rallied around" Clinton have NEVER seen ANY of her speeches.



And she's given a lot of them, to all kinds of people.



WOW!

I'm liking her already.

7. I would support a Lhasa Apso with "D" after its name

Assuming it was 35 in dog years.

8. Why have primaries if we do not choose the winners.

9. I love Elizabeth Warren, but if the candidate is not Hillary, it should

be Bernie. He ran.

Warren did not.

And I strongly suspect that Warren had good reasons for not running.

I think that because she was under a lot, a lot, a lot of pressure to run and chose not to.

She is great. A wonderful speaker. And I wanted her to run for so long.

But Bernie has run. The more I have learned about him and seen him campaign, the more I think he would make a wonderful president. It would be highly unusual but a Bernie/Warren ticket would be great with Bernie running for president.

There are two problems with that: they are from the same region; they are close to the same age.

But in spite of those reasons, they would still make a good team.

Warren is a far more effective speaker than Hillary. And then we would have a woman on the team. That would be a first in the White House.

Bernie, however, should be given the opportunity to step into the presidential candidacy because he has had the courage to run and has proved that he has integrity and the best interests of the American people at heart.

I would go for Bernie for president and Elizabeth Warren for VP. Neither of them is going to go far from Obama's foreign policy so there could be continuity in that respect. Maybe Kerry could be persuaded to stay on if Bernie wanted that. I have the sense that Bernie likes Kerry's direction. I could be wrong about that, but that is my impression.

But Bernie should be the presidential candidate if Hillary drops out -- and I think there is a good chance she will.

I say this as one who held on to the hope that Elizabeth Warren would put her hat in the ring for about as long as anyone. I think she has good reasons for not having done that, but I think maybe she could be persuaded to run for VP. I have read her book. It's great. So is Bernie's.

[emsimon33]

10. I think that Tulsi Gabbard would be a great VP for Bernie

[Karma13612]

18. In a race where Trump beat every single occupant of the Clown Car...

...anything is possible, but I don't see Clinton dropping out.

I think Elizabeth Warren will run if, and when, she's ready, and I don't think that's going to be this year. Would she accept a VP slot with Sanders? I don't know. Sanders getting the nomination is a long shot, but if he did, everyone would have do do some re-thinking.

[Trenzalore]

12. As long as it is an actual Democrat

and not Bernie Sanders.

[Sky Masterson]

13. She was my first choice.

But I would hate it if they gave it to her without running.
She would make a great veep though.
I'll vote for her when she runs against Trump in 2020.

[Betty Karlson]

15. sure.

[Fumesucker]

16. I think Warren would be out of her mind to accept

The next few years are likely to be very tumultuous, as President Warren would have to address everything, as a Senator she gets to pick and choose her battles and what she focuses on.

For that matter I think Sanders is a little nuts too, anyone is who really wants that job and we know who really, really, really wants it.

[bigwillq]

19. Yes (nt)

[randome]

20. I think Warren would be a better leader than either, frankly.

I hope she and Clinton take note of Josh Marshall's idea of having her as the VP pick.

21. Hell no! I like Liz but not as President just yet. I don't like Bernie but I would take him as Pres

[MineralMan]

22. That won't be happening. It's just wishful thinking.

We have a system for selecting Democratic nominees for President. That system is functioning as usual. There isn't going to some "miracle" at the convention. Not a chance.
