48. We need Warren in multiple places, because she's just that good

Fri Jun 17, 2016, 01:18 PM

Jun 2016

Sadly there's only one of her to go around and no matter where she takes a stand, we'll suffer for not having her somewhere else.

I want Warren as VP because she would electrify the ticket and defeat Donald Trump, and she would be well-positioned for a run for president in 2020. I want Warren as president, and working with HRC for four years would be good experience for that step up.

I also want Warren in the Senate, where she's free to criticize her own party if it doesn't live up to progressive standards.

Decisions, decisions...

I actually agree with this, Clinton would still have taken the huge share of minorities AntiBank Jun 2016 #50

I don't think Warren is obligated to accept such a bid. She thinks for herself. Therefore, if asked floriduck Jun 2016 #46
