I am going to Piss off my fellow HRC supporters, but I would actually

like him as VP.

I know, I know, he squandered his capital. Vermont will already be blue. I am sure it will be Julian Castro, but a LayDee can dream a little.

I don't know why the feeling persists within me, but I just *like* him there.

No, bad idea. He'd go off on his own agenda, doing his own thing, dismising campaign advisers lunamagica Jun 2016 #4
I'd like Warren, but he's confirmed a lot of my fears about him. NT Adrahil Jun 2016 #5

I think it would even piss his supporters off.

That isn't a knock on him or his supporters. I think he is going to be a valuable asset in the Senate. More valuable than at any point in his long career.

just like he did in his own campaign (according to his aids in the Politico article). The last thing we need is a VP candidate "going rouge"

that has not been vetted...he could actually make it harder to win. I never thought he could win a general...and we can't count on his voters voting if he is not the nominee.
