Be still my heart!

Appearing on "The Rachel Maddow Show," Warren was pointedly asked about the mounting speculation over whether Clinton would choose her as her running mate. Warren said she hadn't spoken with Clinton about the job.
Maddow went a step further, however, asking the Massachusetts senator if she felt she'd be capable of stepping in to fill in the role of commander in chief.
"If you were asked to be Secretary Clinton's running mate, do you believe you could do it? And by that I mean the most important job of being a vice president is to be ready to be president if, God forbid, something happened to the commander in chief. I know you don't want the job, but do you believe you would be capable of stepping into that job and doing that job if you were ever called to do it?" Maddow asked.
"Yes, I do," Warren confidently replied.
