5. I think that - at best - it is a trial balloon that went POP!

It would only make sense if folks thought that Bernie supporters only support Bernie because they hate Hillary, and/or the DNC thinks that Bernie's supporters will desert him for Warren as a VP (nope) and/or if the DNC is still so clueless and delusional as to believe the women who support Bernie would support Warren as VP. Of course, that begs the question as to why does Bernie have female supporters at all, but the DNC drinks its own, Dom Perignon-supplied, upscale Kool-ade, safely away from the voter rabble, in their air-conditioned bubble..

I am not going to worry about it. Asked my Redditor grandson about it and he said that Reddit likes Warren as much as Bernie - because of THE ISSUES - but feel that being VP is like being Queen of England. Represents, but has no power. Big waste. So no shift of support from there, the young people are only interested this time because of what Bernie says. They consider Hillary and Biden as corporate tools. They are not the unthinking team players that the DNC wants, and that is totally the DNC's fault.

All those billion-plus dollars worth of TV ads will pass them by, too. And campaign advisers who did not know that Twitter Audit and Facebook auditing tools can tell how many followers/likes are actually real - do not understand social media much, if at all. This is all kind of horrifically entertaining to watch.
