(15,139 posts)and if it was, it would be better for Eluzabeth Warren to be at the top as her favorability rating is higher. But she isn't so that's a moot point. I don't think she would run as VP anyway. Neither would Bernie.
I see some sort of bland, middle of the road safe choice who won't upstage the candidate and won't disagree on policy. Maybe Tim Kaine?
I think it will be much more interesting to see who Trump picks, or rather who the party establishment picks for him. If he implodes or simply quits, which isn't unlikely, they'll want someone acceptable to TPTB to carry on.

(14,040 posts)that's an indicator that Warren is seriously being considered for a VP slot (or quitting altogether).
And thinking that there couldn't be a successful all female ticket is naive at this point. Warren shores up some Sanders supporters should Bernie decide not to play ball--which his speech last night indicates could be likely. And her fave ratings only helps Clinton, not hurt her.
I think Warren would be the a great strategic pick but I'm guessing it's going to be Castro.

(15,139 posts)Elizabeth Warren would want to run with Hillary. Too far apart politically to be a good team. Just my opinion.

(14,040 posts)Hillary can be a team player, as can Warren. Personally, I would love to see such a bold move.

I seriously doubt that HRC will risk her Supreme Court nominees (for the next six years) by losing the Senate by one seat.

(3,072 posts)I remember him being fairly weak, especially as DNC chairman. I wouldn't have a lot of faith in him to help the ticket
