I am really warming up to a Biden-Warren ticket.

103. No need for chemistry

They aren't getting married. They are professionals and if Biden gets the nomination and Warren is close behind him in delegates, IMHO, he would be foolish to pass her up in favor of a different VP pick.

Listening to the voters matters. When voters feel their vote doesn't count, or they feel disconnected from the ticket, it leads to low turnout.

Look at what happened in 2016. Sanders and Clinton were close. Lots of things happened in 2016 that were not Clinton's fault, and I won't go into, but IMHO, when Sanders did that well in the primary and had so much grassroots support, picking Kaine was a mistake and gained her nothing. It lost her the support of some on the progressive side of the party. It lost her the support of some who stayed home.

If Biden gets the nomination and is smart, he isn't going to pick someone just because he's "simpatico" with them or whatever he said in that interview. He's not going to pick another moderate. He's going to pick someone who will unite the ticket and give the best chance of getting the vote out. There are some people who are excited about the idea of Biden. But there is the other side of the party that is excited about a Warren/Sanders type candidate. We need to make sure those people still have a reason to get out and vote in the general.
