I like Warren - smart, but tough, and has some folksiness to her.
But, Biden is going to have a lot of appeal because the entire government, and our political standing in the world, are going to be a raging dumpster fire, and I think he brings a lot of elements that people will want - he is known, he is tough, but likeable, classy, experienced, out of anyone else we might have on our side someone that other foreign leaders will be sure about ...
People are going to want sanity, and "no drama" after the 45 shitshow. He can do that.
If he wins the nomination, and gets a sharp VP on the ticket with him ... That probably will be the best way to go.
