Say what you will, Elizabeth Warren understands and plays the role of a Veep nominee brilliantly.

[MohRokTah]

She attacked the orange faced orangutan lookalike hard today and all the piece of shit can do is run his Tweeter off at Warren.

Meanwhile, Hillary is free to define both herself and the OmmpaLoompa motherfucker however she chooses while the tiny fingered shitgibbon pays attention to nobody but the potential Veep nominee.

This is the proper dynamic for a presidential ticket. This is how hardball politics works at the highest level, especially when you are running against an incomprehensible jizztrumpet cockwomble.

1. And there is no reason the traditional role can't be significantly expanded.

[MohRokTah]

2. She definitely got under the fucking witless cocksplat's skin! eom

[TwilightZone]

6. Agreed. Gore had more than a traditional role, for one.

And Cheney, but that's not much of an example.

[longship]

3. Hint: she's not a VEEP nominee.

And there are many, many Democrats who hope she will never be. We like her just where she can do some actual good, and where she apparently wants to be, in the US Senate representing MA.

But it is no wonder that everybody is cheerleader her -- I do too. However, just because she's outspoken does not mean we should take her out of the US Senate to put her into a mere ceremonial position, with no power.

That would be crazy!

[MohRokTah]

4. Well that most certainly does not matter one whit.

She's definitely fulfilling the role of the Veep nominee by constantly getting under the see-through skin of the toupe'd fucktrumpet, and that's all that really matters as that is the traditional role of a Veep nominee. The weasleheaded fucknugget is completely focused on retaliation against Warren while Hillary can do and say whatever she likes!

She's better at it than LBJ was at getting under Trick Dick's skin, and LBJ was a fucking master at it!

[longship]

7. Hint: she can do that as a US Senator, too.

Only a crazy person would want her as VEEP. She has everything we need in her senatorial position. VEEP would reduce her power.

1. No more floor speeches.
2. Vote only when there's a tie.
3. Abide by the administration without dissent.

I do not want Elizabeth Warren in that position and do not understand anybody who does.

[TwilightZone]

8. "where she apparently wants to be"

Where she apparently wants to be right now is on stage with Hillary Clinton. We probably shouldn't presume to know what it is that Elizabeth Warren ultimately wants.

[MohRokTah]

9. Nor should we presume to know who Hillary wants by her side.

I know the media is going apeshit over Kaine, but I remember how clueless the media were about Obama's choice in '08. Biden was not on very many radars at that time.

[morningfog]

14. There will be a few shiny object veep news cycles before

Hillary settles on her team's choice. Kaine being the first serious mention almost guarantees he will not be on the final ticket.

It likely won't be Castro either.

[longship]

12. Supporting Hillary <> wanting to be VEEP

The two concepts are orthogonal. She can support Hillary Clinton (even fervently) and still not be foaming at the mouth to be the Vice President.

In fact, as some people just do not get here, the VEEP has less power than any US Senator. Their power is simply to "preside over the senate" (whatever that means), ascend to the presidency upon the presidency's vacancy (through whatever mechanism), and go to funerals (apparently). That's all. Oh, I almost forgot. If the US Senate ties, they get to vote.

Only a mad person would want Elizabeth Warren to give up her senate seat.

[TwilightZone]

13. That wasn't my point.

My point was that you presume to know what she wants.

[niyad]

5. ah, I see you have been making excellent use of the oh-so-helpful dictionary of insults

and curses, scots edition!!

have ordered copies for a number of friends, as well!!

[MohRokTah]

10. I find little reason to ever use the bloviating fleshbag's name again.

Everybody in the world knows precisely who the tiny-fingered cheeto-faced, ferret wearing shitgibbon is!

[brer cat]

11. I've been scribbling notes while reading the thread

because it's damned impressive, but I haven't understood a word he said.

[pipoman]

15. Does she play VP better than Chris Christie?

Lol
