122. Much as I love Warren I don't see her as the best fit

Fri Mar 6, 2020, 12:20 PM

Mar 2020

Joe needs someone a little closer to him ideologically, that’s Amy. Put Warren on the ticket and Trump would have additional lines of attack that he wouldn’t have with Amy. Klobuchar showed me a lot this primary; I think they’d be a great ticket.

It’s a bit of a bummer for me because I think Warren and Biden would be the much better governing team. Biden cares about helping people just as much as she does and Warren would keep on him and everyone else who mattered constantly to make things happen in a way that Amy wouldn’t and couldn’t IMO.

As for healing, I’m not that worried. There are some lost causes out there who won’t be appeased no matter who Joe chooses. Warren will be a bigger player at the convention than at 2016 and that will help downsize the dead-enders significantly. Her comments last night with Rachel re Biden were revealing; she admires Joe’s decency (especially in my view after the way she was treated by Bernie World this campaign) and said “we both want the same things, we just come at it differently.” She will fight for him.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
