My best hope to see a woman president in my lifetime. This is short and sweet.

[CTyankee]

I am voting for Elizabeth Warren. She has a very good chance of winning our CT primary. But in the general I am voting for our likely candidate Biden, who might ask Warren to be his vp. If Biden serves only one term, I get what I want.

And yes, I know all the arguments against her. I don't care. I'm sick of gaming all this out in a hundred different scenarios.

Here's hopin'.

[pwb]

1. I thought the same thing. Warren V P then President.

I may live for that. Not sure though.

[CTyankee]

3. Yeah, it's not a bad scenario. Biden would be our best shot at getting rid of Trump and he

might just pick Warren as vp so he can pick up all us libruls who have gamed this out just as I have. The doubters will be reassured. We'll be happy, like we were when we got Obama as our president . I wanna feel that way again before I die...

[LisaM]

28. Better than nothing, though....

the idea that we have to elect a man to elect a woman does stick in my craw a little bit.

Sigh.

[CTyankee]

36. But just think, once that trick is done then we've got that door opened and we women will not

be stopped from then on. Look how long it took to get the damn vote. Now our vote is sough for avidly...

[LisaM]

37. I'm not saying it's not WORTH it. I just think that in this year 2020....

it shouldn't be needed.

I'm a pragmatist, though.

[CTyankee]

38. Yeah, believe me I know. But this is what I've gotten over. I'm tired of being down about it.

[Scotch-Irish]

2. She's getting my vote, too.

She's wicked smart, she's a fine person, and I would feel safer if she was in the oval office.

[CTyankee]

4. Oh, yes! and the White House would once more be a place of reason, kindness, wisdom, and grace.

Foreign leaders would love coming to Washington again to meet with our wonderful President and VP.

I will work toward that happening.

[seaglass]

9. Sure, Tom Perez is going to pick our VP candidate.

[paleotn]

10. ......

[rurallib]

5. I think Warren would make a great president. If she isn't nominated

I would much rather see her back in the senate where I think she could be much more effective as a member of the leadership team, maybe even majority leader.

My choice for VP no matter who is our nominee is Tammy Duckworth. For one thing if Warren spends 8 years as VP she will be 78. I believe Duckworth is @ 52 now so she would be @60 and in prime age to run. Not sure what TD's physical capability for the stresses of the presidency would be.

[CTyankee]

13. I love Tammy. Wonderful idea. Even Trump wouldn't dare bring up her war woundings...

would he?

[Mila18]

22. Of course he'd bring it up

If you don't remember, Google Max Cleland and Saxby Chambliss in the 2002 Georgia Senate election.

[rurallib]

31. Totally agree - but I have seen some videos of TD cutting Trump to ribbons

She is smart and quick witted

[Pepsidog]

7. My hope Biden one term concentrates on International repair, Warren domestic.

[Kurt V.]

8. we need a women president! ! it's a course changer

[paleotn]

11. Wouldn't mind that scenario at all.

We simply need to get a Dem in the White House, take the Senate and right this damn ship before it goes down.

[squirecam]

12. I think

Biden picks Amy. Or Abrams.

[CTyankee]

14. Don't know that much about Abrams, but Amy is a great pick...would really appeal to the

midwestern voters we might have lost last time...

[pattyloutwo]

15. Interesting

I don’t think Biden would pick Warren. It’s a little sad to me if that’s how we get our first woman president when I feel that she’s a better candidate, so deserves the votes now. I would really like to see a woman win 2020, the 100 year anniversary of women getting the vote.

[loyalsister]

39. I would hope she would not run with him

That would be selling out in a big way. They mostly disagree on some really important things.

[Hortensis]

16. Fascism doesn't like women in power.

Priorities.

Absolutely vote for Warren if it looks good when the time comes. But before voting, better do a due diligence check to make sure it couldn't lead to the nomination of someone who's helped elect Trump once and could conceivably lead to his reelection.

Don't think the nomination will come to that, but things are dangerously crazy these days and subject to toxic manipulation.

[CTyankee]

17. See, I am just tired of gaming this out constantly. We'll see but if that's the scenario then that's

what I'm going to do...

[Hortensis]

21. So agree with not fussing over gaming it out ahead of time.

I'm seen too many elections to even bother. I learn about the main candidates, figure out who I should and shouldn't support, and then wait to see who's going to be available to me when it's time to vote.

But until 2016 I never had to worry that people like Putin were using our elections, promoting and taking down the candidates available to us, and subverting the understanding of voters in order to destroy the nation our grandchildren will inherit. When time comes to vote, primary and GE, I'll do it to defeat the deadly serious "gaming" of our enemies foreign and domestic.

[CTyankee]

24. Yep. All my grandkids are good little Dems. Three are voting age and voting blue.

The other two are being raised as good Dems. We're a good family!

[Hortensis]

25. Ours Too. Good kids, and we're proud of them.

[Kurt V.]

29. who are they leaning toward?

[hurl]

18. Maybe Warren picks Biden as VP or SOS

Those would play to his strengths.

[highplainsdem]

19. Being president would play to Biden's strengths. Staying in the Senate would play to Warren's.

[Kurt V.]

30. That isn't remotely true bc we simply don't know.

[highplainsdem]

33. Warren's a great debater and a policy wonk's policy wonk. The Senate is often called

"the world's greatest deliberative body." It's the ideal place for a strong debater, and for someone who can craft bills with attention to details.

Biden has what I consider unmatched empathetic skills that we really need now to begin to heal the country. And he has the foreign policy experience -- and the respect around the world -- that we need to repair our alliances.

[CTyankee]

20. Biden has been there, done that with the VP thing. Maybe SOS...he'd be good and would calm

all those foreign leaders who've been crapping in their pants over Trump's gyrations...

[The Valley Below]

23. I hoped we'd have our first woman president the last time.

Still gutted about that.

I always pick the candidate I feel is most qualified to serve.

[highplainsdem]

34. Agree completely.

[Baclava]

26. Vote Liz!

Can I say that here?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. I'd be happy with that.

I doubt it will happen, though, not because of anything "wrong" with her, but only because he's likely to select a younger running mate (for obvious reasons).

[warmfeet]

32. Elizabeth Warren has my vote in the primary.

The Democratic nominee has my vote in the general election.

Simple.

I will vote for the Democratic nominee in the general election no matter who it is.

I hope it is Elizabeth Warren.

[Bernardo de La Paz]
