An open message to Elizabeth Warren, r.e.: VP

Please, do not do it! If Bernie wins the nomination we need you in the Senate, running the place. If Hillary wins the nomination, we need you in the Senate as a check on her, and we need you to be available in 2020 to primary her as the anti-establishment sentiment continues to grow. There is a more than likely chance that should Hillary win the presidency, she will be a one-termer. If Trump wins, we need you in 2020 as our nominee. Accepting the VP offer, should it come, is not a good move for you or our country.

9. So what do you make of Warren's ability to fund raise?

Bernie has been spectacular at fund raising with just little donations. Something like over 70%. But Warren for herself does about 50/50 on her large versus small donations. It looks like a lot of the big donors have been colleges, so that's not too bad. Also Emily's list and Moveon. A bit in the industry, but not a lot. Lawyers.


She's also fund raised for other candidates but I don't know what type of donations they were. Democrat stalwarts? Little guys? Or third way turds? I don't know how to figure that out.

After learning about the Clintons' fund raising and the Clinton Foundation fund raising I have become much more skeptical about who talks like a Democrat and who actually walks like a Democrat. I guess it's also Obama. He promised so much, was a great talker, and then he put in a bunch of industry turds to run key parts of the country.

Senator Warren won't be "running the Senate" and wouldn't have the support of the Democratic caucus if she tried to "wrest control" from Schemer .If the Democrats get control of the Senate, it won't be because of the election.of Berniecrat candidates.
