In reply to the discussion: Should Hillary Clinton pick Elizabeth Warren for V.P.? [View all]democrattotheend
(11,607 posts)I think Biden has more power now than he would have had if he stayed in the Senate. So did LBJ. It really depends on the relationship between the president and vice president and what they decide the VP's role should be.
That said, in this case I am concerned that Warren might be mostly used as window dressing to throw a bone to progressives. It feels like she is being pushed on Hillary and that won't make for a good working relationship. If Hillary genuinely wants her I'd be thrilled, but if she's just going to be used to unite the party I'd rather keep her in the Senate.
I am a little skeptical of how hard Harry Reid is pushing her. Could it be that he wants her out of the Senate because she is the type to investigate and not fall in line?
