Rumor is that Biden wants Warren for VP. merrily Aug 2015 #6

But how safely Dem is Warren's senate seat? thesquanderer Aug 2015 #18

Remember how long Scott Brown lasted. Kerry and Kennedy kept those seats for decades. merrily Aug 2015 #19

Oh, wait. The rumor is of a Biden-Warren ticket, not a Sanders-Warren ticket. merrily Aug 2015 #23

I've been hoping Bernie could get her. Point. Set. Match. Elmer S. E. Dump Aug 2015 #34

Not I. I would rather see her in the Senate than as VP, be it Sanders' or Biden's. merrily Aug 2015 #62

If its required to win the presidency, I'd go with it. Elmer S. E. Dump Aug 2015 #65

Maybe thats the point, Mbrow Aug 2015 #69

Oh, I thought about that also. A way for the centrists to silence her. jwirr Aug 2015 #71

Given the strength and persistence of the Draft Warren Movement, she is attractive as a VP, merrily Aug 2015 #77

Biden also has close ties to the banking and credit card industries. He is not a likely JDPriestly Aug 2015 #76

That McGovern lost because he was too liberal to win the Presidency is untrue. merrily Aug 2015 #78

Good point and more reason than ever to work for Sanders. merrily Aug 2015 #50

What concerns me is that some states may have also gerrymandered their state legislative district StevieM Aug 2015 #74

A very good point and that is cause for optimism if we can survive this election and not have davidpdx Aug 2015 #83

Not all of the congressional districts the GOP holds now are impervious. Major Hogwash Aug 2015 #70

True, but enough of them are impervious to keep the majority jeff47 Aug 2015 #87

Yup. Completely agree. closeupready Aug 2015 #31

Agreed. jwirr Aug 2015 #59

The rumor is of a Biden-Warren ticket. merrily Aug 2015 #8

Do you choose a primary candidate..... daleanime Aug 2015 #10

I don't, but I think a good number of Warren fans might. merrily Aug 2015 #21

Carefully designed to peal off Sanders supporters. zeemike Aug 2015 #35

Yup! SoapBox Aug 2015 #42

Yep me too. zeemike Aug 2015 #49

True, but they can announce it and campaign together. merrily Aug 2015 #80

We'll see. After Bernstein floated the rumor that Biden is merrily Aug 2015 #51

Definitely. I am certain that if Hillary's stock was not dropping that Biden would not be exploring GoneFishin Aug 2015 #72

I'm a woman, Warren supporter. I wanted her as President. magical thyme Aug 2015 #43

Good to hear! merrily Aug 2015 #45

^^ This. And I don't see Warren going for this bait-and-switch attempt, either. winter is coming Aug 2015 #56

As much as I admire her - don't think she would win in general. 840high Aug 2015 #73

I'd go for that if Bernie falls Android3.14 Aug 2015 #11

I feel your pain. merrily Aug 2015 #13

P.S. The tag team approach, just to make sure a leftist does not win, is a huge turn off for me. merrily Aug 2015 #25

Yep, I'm with you. n/t haikugal Aug 2015 #29

Me too. Enthusiast Aug 2015 #67

Honestly, I don't envision Warren teaming with Biden. NorthCarolina Aug 2015 #36

dark horse. -- I think that is what's different about this election season: Hiraeth Aug 2015 #14

The poster seems to have a problem with the ages of Joe, Hillary and Bernie. merrily Aug 2015 #17

One could say that the poster made an ageist comment, yes. Hiraeth Aug 2015 #20

One tried not to say it, but one certainly could have said it. merrily Aug 2015 #26

Yes it was implied and this reader inferred that was what the OP was alluding. Hiraeth Aug 2015 #30

And probably not lifting a finger at Mom and Dad's, either. merrily Aug 2015 #46

Well, I have to admit, it wears me out writing the mortgage payment check every month. Hiraeth Aug 2015 #52

I have trouble with certain tasks, too. I procrastinate, zone out, etc. merrily Aug 2015 #53

. Hiraeth Aug 2015 #54

One could also say ageism goes both ways. U of M Dem Aug 2015 #57

This one agrees. My post was anecdotal not, indicative. Just stating my daily experience is all. Hiraeth Aug 2015 #61

And this one is glad for it. U of M Dem Aug 2015 #68

The poster is of the same age group as JH&B randr Aug 2015 #66

This is the Sanders Group. If you are looking for someone else, please don't look here. merrily Aug 2015 #16

Trump says: You're fired! Sanders replies: Feel the bern! Hiraeth Aug 2015 #12

At least she is imploding now instead of a year from now. Motown_Johnny Aug 2015 #15

Because Bernie will win. fbc Aug 2015 #38

Given the electoral college, support in the red states is not a huge comfort in the general. merrily Aug 2015 #47

Maybe they tried to draft/proposition Elizabeth Warren, too Demeter Aug 2015 #37

I do not want any recycled candidates bigwillq Aug 2015 #39

They don't care what you want. That seems relatively obvious. merrily Aug 2015 #48

I'm waiting for them to claim Bernie will get ZERO support from Dems in Congress. Spitfire of ATJ Aug 2015 #40

The warnings about this were early on ...and ignored. L0oniX Aug 2015 #64

It's only logical. nm rhett o rick Aug 2015 #75
