(2,175 posts)Clinton may be an insider, but she is a skilled politician. It would be a safe bet Warren would not be a silent VP, and I think Clinton is savvy enough to see the huge advantages of putting her on the ticket and, most important, implementing Warren's ideas. Clinton needs a progressive populist and Warren, excels at that. Plus she is super intelligent, and able to simplify things when needed and use her smarts to beat down the idiots, when that needs to happen. I think this is what we should push - there is no other candidate but Clinton who has the power she has, so it would be far better to put that to use, but couple it with a progressive VP. If it were me, I would say Warren / Sanders or Dean / Warren, but none of them on their own, can pull it off and win the election. We should accept Clinton as the nominee, and work to pair her with a progressive VP.
