Huffington Post: One close Clinton confidant said that she and her aides were thrilled to see Warren get under his skin. Another senior Clinton adviser, who is advocating internally for Warren as a vice presidential pick, said the senator has very influential people in the campaign pushing for her.'
Said one longtime Clinton veteran: You want a running mate who can take the fight to the other side with relish. Geography does not matter, but attitude and talent and energy and bringing excitement to the campaign, Senator Warren does all that.
The attributes that Warren would bring to the VP slot extend beyond vigorous mocking of Trump. Top Democrats increasingly see a dual-female ticket as a potent response to a GOP nominee with a well-documented past of sexist remarks.

And laugh at how she managed to use Warren for votes, and as a bonus - no more "out of hand" Warren in the Senate (as the Third Way whined in a WSJ opinion wad), attacking Hillary's Wall Street buddies.

(199 posts)And I think she would make a great VP. I also don't think she has any interest in being President.
I really think the VP pick for Clinton or Bernie(fingers crossed) should be someone who can carry on the torch in the next election in 8 years. Not someone who can temporarily help the candidate in the polls.
