So, we know it's not going to happen

[sonrisa]

and it would be way too risky a gamble

But, but, but, but How Fucking Awesome would a Clinton Warren ticket be? I'm just going to sit here and fantasize about it until she announces her real running mate.

[underwaterrhymes]

Although I love Warren, I've been rooting for a Julian Castro or Cory Booker ticket.

But yesterday made me weak in the knees. I love them together and would be thrilled if they teamed up.

eye 2 eye. I love both of your picks. I love Senator Warren too, but she's MYYYYYY Senator and you guys can't have her! I kind of have a feeling Cory Booker isn't interested, but I'd bang Julian Castro. Vote for. I meant vote for.

[funfetti]

I think Booker is shooting for President in 2024 rather than VP now.
Which is fine with me because it gives me 8 more years with him as my Senator.

If you haven't watched Brick City, you really should. That's where my crush on him began.

Thanks for the recommendation funfetti; added to my Watch List!

Julian Castro said he is not being vetted anymore. He is out.

Maybe I am naive, but I actually think it is going to be Warren. I think yesterday was a testing the waters party for them.

I haven't seen Brick City (and have added it to my list), but Street Fight was amazing.

2 black presidents in our lifetime?! Be still my heart!
I will check out the documentary.

He's absolutely amazing. He consistently puts pop-up offices around the state to make it easier for people to connect with him and make their voices heard.

Clearly my fan girl is showing. I will be crushed if a scandal ever comes out involving him.

Those aren't mutually exclusive either, though. Being VP is probably the best way to give him an opportunity to shine on a national stage, and I hope he takes it!

[W.T.Faulkner]

If Joe Biden can't be VP forever, I'd love a Corey Booker vice presidency.

I think she is waiting to see what happens at the RNC.
If Trump goes moderate or somehow loses the nom she may go Warren to bring in the Berners.
If Trump KOKO I am thinking she'll go Kaine.
He is moderate and yesterday he tweeted supporting the SC abortion case ruling that overturned the TX law that shut down PP/abortion access.
I suspect HRC told him if he wants a chance at VP he needs to do some work on his reproductive rights position.

Interesting

I really don't want Kaine. I don't want someone who has to backtrack on an issue that is so important right now.

So much this. For one, I'd rather you be in the "right" (aka my, lol) camp on this. But also, I'd even prefer someone who were consistently "wrong" over someone backpedaling for the right optics. HRC already has some heat for doing (or appearing to do) this, and someone waffling this late in the game looks really weak and like an easy target, IMO.

EDIT: I am not a Warren fan. I love Hillary but I feel Warren doesn't add anything to the ticket. 

I would love to see Booker too!!

[bcv513]

As much as I love Warren, I hope she doesn't get picked. Too many people are having a hard time voting for one woman, let alone two. I selfishly want her to pick Biden

This is where I am.  It is too important that Trump doesn't get elected.

The filibuster made me think he is looking at something more immediate. It's a big stunt to pull off right before the announcement. In 8 years, it won't matter. (Not that it was just a stunt. I believe he was genuine, but between that and joining the sit in, I think he is primed to act now.)

Would picking Warren bring in the Berners? They basically said she was a lying bitch when she endorsed HRC. Assholes.

My oldest son was born in 2009. I keep getting giddy thinking about how it's possible he could be 16 years old before there's a white male President. I mean.... !!!!

[cville]

We need Warren in the Senate. I love them together, but there are three branches of government and I want HRC to be able to implement strong policy through legislation that doesn't get rejected. #packthecourt


I have no problems with Kaine as VP and I'm as pro choice as they come.** He can be personally against abortion all he wants so far as he recognizes my constitutional right to have an abortion of my own free will, as he has for years. Besides, we all know that when he's VP Tim Kaine doesn't have a real job anyway.*




*for you, Hamiltonians

**he is far from my ideal on the topic. Hillary, by contrast, is close to my ideal on the topic.

[stephm0188]

IDK. I feel like a Warren pick may further alienate some voters. I LOVE Warren, but I'm not sure she's the best choice here.

I wouldn't mind seeing Sherrod Brown.

[Deleted]

I thought Clinton/Warren was madness, but they are great together. Warren makes HRC come off as more youthful and energetic- I thought it would be the reverse, but it's like seeing HRC hang out with a younger friend and become more likable for it (for having a friend, actually- regardless of age - whom she isn't condescending to the way she always seems to be doing to everyone else around her).

HRC has already been First Lady; and the Gores and Clintons were tight at first. She has seen male presidents -including her husband- pick people who look like them over and over. I actually think she might do it.
