Okay, I will make up my own answer. Thinkingabout Apr 2016 #22
If Warren accepted, we'd finally know she's still a Republican at heart. polichick Apr 2016 #2
Yeah that will happen Autumn Apr 2016 #3
No endorsement, so might as well name-drop. NorthCarolina Apr 2016 #12

It would be a complete waste to pull her out of the Senate and into an essentially ceremonial position. While that might suit Hillary's oligarch paymasters, it sure as hell doesn't suit a progressive agenda.

The upside? In the unlikely event of a Hillary victory in November, the inevitable impeachment would leave us with a Warren presidency.

Though I have no doubt that Clinton will want her in a special place. Like in the basement counting rats or something.

And where will buddy DWS be? I am so sure Clinton has promised her a place too.

If she accepted such an offer, my considerable respect for her would evaporate in an instant.

..at least we will know that we would have a good backup, someone who actually seems to believe in doing good. That would Venice. I don't think it will happen though. It is just another "test the water" polling be Clinton.

Napolitano that one I would believe but she would never leave her job making buttloads of money including free housing. But watch out if she doe. War is right around the corner!

because they're actually scared of Warren and what she would do to the banksters.

That would be some next-level Machiavellian shit if HRC pulled that off...

Would not get me to vote for Hillary, either.

Just think - Third Way fantasy time - snag Bernie's supporters AND get that pesky Warren out of the Senate and relegated to state dinners and funerals.

Not even picking up that shoddy merchandise, much less buying it.
