(15,688 posts)last sentence. And Biden supporters here might also pay heed to that.
Besides, if she is not the Dem candidate, Elizabeth Warren would serve us all much better either by remaining in the US Senate or, in the event of the Dem candidate's victory, a Cabinet post.
But I'm not sure that Biden, if he were President, would appoint her to his Cabinet.
There is some bitter history there and it is in part because of that history, where Elizabeth had the right of it, IMO, that I support her over him now.

I also have a LONG and still functioning memory. Joe has, after all, thrown his hat into the Presidential primaries three times: 1988, 2008 and 2020.
there are lots of reasons why his 1988 and 2008 campaigns foundered - not simply because other candidates were stronger - and you can bet that the GOP will resurrect every single possible smear and TP from those as well as adding new ones for the GE. We've also yet to see how the primaries will ultimately play out for 2020.
Yes, Biden is leading most polls right now. But he's not really breaking out while Warren is slowly but steadily trending upwards, even among some of Biden's core voter groups.
Despite the efforts of some (even Dems, sorry to say, whose newest TP seems to be that she hasn't been a lifelong Dem), Warren doesn't have anywhere near the same political baggage that Biden does.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
