Who Do You Think Hillary's VP Pick Will Be?

37. Well, although I wouldn't be thrilled,

since this isn't a black or white world I wouldn't take Kaine's presence on the ticket as proof that they will accomplish less than if Warren were but would instead wait and see what they tried to accomplish. They both want to expand Dodd-Frank, so that's good.

But the president does not have dictatorial powers, even if Trump has trouble understanding that, and the consensuses required to get anything important done are typically very complex and require a great deal of time, typically years, and effort by very clever people to accomplish.

Warren would probably be head of the bureau she helped create if at the same time she had also managed to create a trusting working relationship with enough on the other side who feel that increased regulation is necessary and inevitable; instead almost all decided against her. We may love her for her fighting commitment and see that as the strength it is, but the widespread enmity she created among bankers against her specifically is also a sign of weakness.
