13. Balance in terms of geography, not political philosophy

Sanders-Warren would make more sense than, say, Clinton-Warren or Biden-Warren. But I don't see Warren leaving the Senate and I don't think Sanders will be the nominee.

Clinton-Warren or Biden-Warren would never work because they'd have conflicting messages out on the campaign trail. The media would love it but it would be a PR disaster for the candidates. Because when the general election rolls around, Clinton's rhetoric will become less progressive and Warren's will remain progressive as it's true to who she is. And I imagine Warren would be incredibly frustrated to be a marginalized member of yet another neoliberal administration when she could have just stayed in the Senate.
