I really am glad that Warren will not be the VP nominee. I would not want to rely on this mechanism Warren is not worth the risk that a trump appointed judge would not support this theory

I doubt that Warren will be the VP nominee Gothmog Jun 2020 #4

Harris got even less support in the primaries JonLP24 Jun 2020 #6

So you are okay with losing a Senate seat? Gothmog Jun 2020 #11

Biden wanted Warren in 2016 writes3000 Jun 2020 #18

Warren is the smartest, the strongest and can excite. Three one. LizBeth Jun 2020 #65

You've been against Warren forever. One reason or another. BComplex Jun 2020 #32

Why Trump's attempt to tag Biden as a tool of the radical left isn't working Gothmog Jul 2020 #90

Over one article? How about all the articles that say Elizabeth Warren is the one most democrats BComplex Jul 2020 #93

Harris has been incredibly proactive in the community as well as Lucinda Jul 2020 #96

Please don't spread the myth about Warren as VP costing Dems the senate majority Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #48

Have they taken the necessary steps yet? muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #55

The timing of the legislation is affected by the timing of Warren's resignation Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #58

Yes, that's the point - no one wants to wait for a special election muriel_volestrangler Jun 2020 #59

What the Democrats will NOT do, is screw up the Senate. If Biden chose Warren, I am confident beyond LizBeth Jun 2020 #66

This is not a myth Gothmog Jun 2020 #60

It's a myth perpetuated by the MSM Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #72

A lot of the myth carriers are Democrats that are rooting for a different VP because it serves their LizBeth Jun 2020 #76

Good luck with this theory Gothmog Jun 2020 #82

The poll in the OP is from May, here's a newer one from Economist/YouGov showing Harris in the lead PunkinPi Jun 2020 #51

I have seen this polling Gothmog Jun 2020 #61

I agree. nt PunkinPi Jun 2020 #64

You will like this polling Gothmog Jul 2020 #91

I do, and saw it earlier today. PunkinPi Jul 2020 #92

Yes they are jocking position of the #1 position serving under a VP that well has the confidence of LizBeth Jun 2020 #67

Wow. You mean all black voters don't think alike? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #5

Mind-blowing, isn't it? writes3000 Jun 2020 #7

Do you believe this? EffieBlack Jun 2020 #40

IKR? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #46

Some of Warren's most committed supporters were black men and women so blm Jun 2020 #43

That and the narrative also assumes that black people are so blinded by color that StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #47

Warren is one helluva policy details queen. Appreciative wonks come in ALL blm Jun 2020 #52

It always amazes me the way these articles are written.. HipChick Jun 2020 #78

It's pretty clear that there's a last-ditch effort afoot to get Biden to pick Warren StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #85

Harris would be great in AG. Warren compliments Biden weakness, we need her to go after Wallstreet LizBeth Jun 2020 #8

Warren would make sure the trump cabal didn't get away with their crimes. BComplex Jun 2020 #33

Warren just is not going to cow. But, Harris speaks up too. I love our women, lol. LizBeth Jun 2020 #68

I love Liz Warren but - AkFemDem Jun 2020 #10

How about Susan Rice? DinahMoeHum Jun 2020 #12

I really like Susan Rice Gothmog Jun 2020 #14

I favor Susan Rice As Well colsohlibgal Jun 2020 #21

Number one on my list. Most qualified, too. demosincebirth Jun 2020 #27

Rice is not on voters' Radar, and would help the ticket about as much as Tim Kaine did nt Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #49

Will she help flip any swing states? Trumpocalypse Jul 2020 #94

I am not telling any woman that it is their time to sit down and be quiet. We have been told that LizBeth Jun 2020 #20

70 IS NOT OLD!!! I'm sick of people saying that. BComplex Jun 2020 #34

she would be 80 years old if Biden gets 2 terms ace3csusm Jun 2020 #54

I strongly disagree. Both Biden and Warren are sharp Qutzupalotl Jun 2020 #30

Great post! Thank you!!! BComplex Jun 2020 #36

Another reason I really like Warren is she excites our young people. I am around lots of 20 somethin LizBeth Jun 2020 #69

:) She's an iconoclast, with very big but achievable goals. Hortensis Jun 2020 #81

That's great for a presidential candidate, but it's irrelevant and even a demerit for a VP nom EffieBlack Jun 2020 #87

Sorry I confused you, Effie. Frances Perkins carried out ONLY Hortensis Jun 2020 #88

Exactly. I agree with it all. LizBeth Jul 2020 #97

This! unitedwethrive Jun 2020 #42

IOW, either one would be fine! ananda Jun 2020 #16

✔️ blm Jun 2020 #44

Rice zipplewrath Jun 2020 #19

I think Biden secretly has her tabbed as his future Secreatry of State Seasider Jun 2020 #25

Makes sense since she's a former US Ambassador to the UN. . . DinahMoeHum Jun 2020 #38

In my opinion it's Kamala's gig to lose. She just ticks too many boxes to be passed over. Seasider Jun 2020 #23

Kamala's just not that popular. I'm glad she's on our side, but I don't care for her. BComplex Jun 2020 #37

All these "Dems are divided" stories are getting kind of boring... Wounded Bear Jun 2020 #24

I think in this time space, any pick that is not a black woman... Happy Hoosier Jun 2020 #26

Yep, an all-white ticket would not be smart with all the BLM... brush Jun 2020 #35

Warren checks all the boxes Calculating Jun 2020 #29

Where will the Bernie supporters go if he doesn't choose Warren? Budi Jun 2020 #41

Some black voters wanting one candidate and some wanting another is only a story EffieBlack Jun 2020 #39

It absolutely should be a given. Imagine my surprise when I was listening to a lot of people LizBeth Jun 2020 #70

The number one job of VP is to help the ticket win, period. Follow the data, folks Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #50

How many of those voters who prefer Warren would not vote for Biden if someone else is the VP nom? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #53

Ask the same question in reverse Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #56

You obviously didn't read my post StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #62

I read every word of your post, and disagreed with your non-evidence based opinion Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #73

What is this ""available data" of which you keep speaking? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #79

Numerous polls taken in the past 6-8 weeks consistently have Warren as voters 1st choice for VP Fiendish Thingy Jun 2020 #83

Your data either fail to refute what I said, don't say what you claim they do or are inconsistent StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #84

Warren is strongest with young people. And the same X factor applies... writes3000 Jun 2020 #57

Biden does NOT have the black vote locked up StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #74

I think Warren and Biden will bring out the black vote and I think neither Warren or Biden is needed LizBeth Jun 2020 #71

Seriously? StarfishSaver Jun 2020 #75

I have listened to the vocal black community and I have confidence and faith in their strength. LizBeth Jun 2020 #77

Those are *my* top two choices, and *I* can't decide. Reader Rabbit Jun 2020 #63

I wouldn't want either one of them. DFW Jun 2020 #86
