So is Warren running for Veep?

What do we think? No one, including Bernie and Hillary, has been as relentless and merciless (and flat-out hilarious) in criticizing Trump. It's awesome, but it's not what you'd expect from someone who won't be in a race this fall. It is, however, exactly what you'd expect from a Veep in traditional attack-dog mode. Is she running? What do we think?

I fear the country is not ready for an all-woman ticket.

Of course, what the hell do I know, I thought the same thing about Obama and he won. I'm very glad he won, but I never thought America would elect an African American. I was happy to be proved wrong.

Secondly she's from a northeastern state that is a sure dem safe state. Thirdly, Warren eclipses Hillary. Fourth, reportedly there is no chemistry between the two.

And I'd like to think Warren walks her talk...and would thus tell Hillary to stick it.

3. I honestly do not think so. I think she just wants to keep pointing out the obvious about Trump

She knows that she will very likely end up in a very high leadership spot when the Democrats take back the Senate. Being in the majority, she could really kick some ass.

So she's using her platform to make it known. If I had such a platform, I'd do the same thing.

7. No, but she's about to be drafted as the Democratic candidate for President.

HRC is no longer viable. The State Dept just found she violated numerous departmental regulations dealing with information security and records retention, however. That is as far as this one goes, but it points to how the Intelligence Community report and the Bureau findings will find she violated federal laws by similarly mishandling classified materials.

She's cooked, and the party needs to replace her and, I think, she will release her delegates at the Convention.

8. No. Warren is standing up for the party.

Actually, Warren is standing up for what she treasures: integrety. Trump doesn't have it; never had it; never will have it.
