Elizabeth Warren seems like a very rational VP choice right now (for Biden, that is)

Positives:

1. Female. About damn time for a woman, and an effective counter against trump's expected move to replace Pence with Nikki Haley.
2. Policies close to Sanders's. Hey, if Sanders excited you, then at least you're one heartbeat away from having someone politically close. Don't be angry that your man didn't make it, embrace the now!
3. She's as intelligent as any VP candidate I can ever remember.

Negatives:

I see none because I love her.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

I really hope he chooses a woman of color. 'All white' is not America.

If there was a young president, then it would be nice to have an older, experienced VP. Biden needs someone young for his.

Liz might end up being his Secretary of Treasury.

But she won't be the VP.

Dipstick and Johnny Johnny have walked us way back. Information is being hidden, regulations relaxed or completely scuttled, rules ignored and unenforced. This is a bad time for a consumer. While the fed lowers the rates and interesting thing is happening.

Checking/Savings accounts offer less interest, but credit cards rates for the normal person are quietly going up precipitously at the same time. This is just one example but it has been written about quite a bit that Consumer Protection is nearly nonexistent at the moment.

We need somebody that's going in there and get our rights back and then take them to the next level. Liz can and will do that. We might not get prez Liz but I'll take CFPB head Liz in a heartbeat.
