She's got some Trump between her toes.
Her speech was magnificent. A full-throated, fire-breathing defense of what should be core American values. An iconic speech IMO.

(9,865 posts)I don't think she'll do that. Too genuine. Too politically savvy. She knows she has to guard our interests in the Senate, rather than be silenced by carrying water for incremental policies.
And frankly, I don't think Hillary will ask hershe would be too out-shined and she knows it.
Could it possibly be O'Malley?

Senate Democrats tout Warren for VP
A growing number of the Massachusetts senator's colleagues are openly backing her for the ticket.

A growing number of Senate Democrats are openly backing Elizabeth Warren to join Hillary Clintons ticket, seeing her as a unity pick for Democrats after a bruising presidential primary between the partys presumptive nominee and Bernie Sanders.
Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley, the sole Senate Democrat to endorse Sanders, argued that choosing Warren for the vice presidential slot would help bring supporters of the Vermont senator behind Clintons campaign. Sanders political base is the same grass-roots coalition that has made Warren a hero of the left.
Shed be a terrific vice president, Merkley said Thursday. She'd be a great vice president and would be terrific in terms of having a spokesperson for the very powerful ideas that have mobilized the grass roots.
Recently, Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has been privately boosting Warren, even going as far as to research Massachusetts law to see how long her Senate seat would turn to GOP control if she did ascend to the vice presidency. Republican Gov. Charlie Baker would pick an interim replacement.

(39,909 posts)Warren as Vice-President would effective muzzle and neuter her. We need her voice and leadership loud and strong in the Senate.
