reasons
1. I just don’t think she’s that big of draw. She did not preform well in the primary, did not even carry her home state
2. looking to 2024 (if Biden does not run) and beyond, she will be Biden’s age in 4 yrs
3. A POC would lock in that voting block...having said that I include Sen Tammy
Duckworth.

Elizabeth Warren and the Biden Veepstakes [View all] TexasTowelie Jul 2020 OP

I was a Warren supporter for a long time but we have to hold the Senate. lagomorph777 Jul 2020 #1

It's a myth that Warren as VP puts the senate at risk Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #10

Gov. Baker could easily run and would probably win Wanderlust988 Jul 2020 #18

Of course she's 'in it,' elleng Jul 2020 #2

I am all in for Warren. I truly believe she has what we need, right here and now. LizBeth Jul 2020 #3

I'm with you LizBeth! Warren is the best person for the job. In a recent poll of Black Americans, BComplex Jul 2020 #5

I like Rice as second too. I would like Harris in like AG, because I think that is her strength. LizBeth Jul 2020 #7

I seriously doubt the source of such a poll. It flips opposite from every other poll I have read. Budi Jul 2020 #22

As he's looking to advance the 2024/28 Presidency for the Democratic Party, his VP cannot be Warren. Budi Jul 2020 #4

I totally disagree. I know that there is a great deal of prejudice against people in their 70's BComplex Jul 2020 #6

No, we're not dead yet calguy Jul 2020 #9

Ridiculous. PTWB Jul 2020 #11

That is not a "fact". It is BS. Many people are still sharper at 89 than some people are at 29. BComplex Jul 2020 #15

Oh good lord. He will choose a VP that represents & can carry America forward Budi Jul 2020 #16

Yes, she can! pattyloutwo Jul 2020 #8

Actually, you make the perfect case why she should be VP - to carry the torch in 2024 nt Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #13

Nope. She's not carrying the torch forward for the future Biden's got in mind. Budi Jul 2020 #17

I hope you are right. Thekaspervote Jul 2020 #20

Here is the Slate piece pattyloutwo Jul 2020 #12

Warren walks the walk - from the article: Fiendish Thingy Jul 2020 #14

There are many accomplished & brilliant Dems who have also walked the walk. Budi Jul 2020 #19

Well said! Thekaspervote Jul 2020 #21

Jedi to Jedi, they have already chosen the future torchbearer. Budi Jul 2020 #23

I wish he would choose her. PoindexterOglethorpe Jul 2020 #24
