She's an incredibly smart and strong woman. I don't think she's being "railroaded" into shit. PeaceNikki Jun 2016 #14
Wow! You sure don't think much of her if you think she can be railroaded leftofcool Jun 2016 #15
When has Elizabeth Warren ever been railroaded into doing anything? sufrommich Jun 2016 #17
I think that was a 'tell.' And she would certainly strengthen Hillary's hand. immoderate Jun 2016 #16
Wouldn't that hand her Senate seat to the Republicans? totodeinhere Jun 2016 #18
I didn't see it that way - It was a smack down of Ed Rendall's snark. yellowcanine Jun 2016 #20

VP spot is supposed to be given to someone who can pull in states during the GE and could be the next President.

I think they can be very effective in pulling in moderates, liberals, progressives and conservative dems and even moderate republican women. Trump is a gift horse.

Making her VP is a way to put a muzzle on her when issues like Wall Street reform or trade agreements come up.

Don't let this happen to her.

But now when he speaks he must clear it"

That it is already a done deal.

Do I have insight? No--I'm just repeating what I heard!!!

I don't want to believe it though. I, like Liz, oppose most of the policies Hillary is associated with. As VP, she couldn't oppose fracking, TPP, or promote the $15 minimum.

And totally spot on, I might add. Ed is in no position to be judging Warren's qualifications.
