Oh yeah let's f--kin DO IT

[Catholics vs. Convicts]

I'd have my concerns for the campaign, but I would LOVE a Vice President Warren.

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

I feel like a Biden-Warren ticket could either do really well or really bad.

[Kleine Scheiße]

Biden/Warren with Yang as Treasury Secretary.

Delicious.

[BudgieForce]

While it might turn some never Trumpers off, democrats love Warren. She could definitely help with the supposed enthusiasm gap.

[Tartarus Sauce]

Warren doesn't provide enough of an age contrast, that's why she won't be chosen.

Do they though?

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

I would vote for a Biden-Warren ticket without a second thought.  Do it, Joe.

Poll's throughout the primary usually had Warren with the highest favorbility numbers among democrats.

I still say that people put up too much of a fuss in regards to Warren being potentially replaced by a Republican. The Massachusetts legislature has change the Senate seat vacany law twice in the last 16 years. I have no doubt that it would be tweaked again in the event of Warren being picked to ensure that a Democrat would replace her. Plus the Democrats have a supermajority there and should have no problem overcoming a Baker veto.

[Spiffy]

Choosing Warren would actually get me excited somewhat for the ticket. I'd even volunteer and donate.

Yeah, it’s not like Baldwin in Wisconsin.

I don't understand how this is going to take two months. He should have his VP announced as soon as possible given the nature of the campaign in these circumstances. I know it always takes a long time to vet a list of, what, 10-15 people? But jeez that's a long time.

Why as soon as possible? VP pick is big news; make your decision and then sit on it for a while to let the speculation run rampant. May would be crazy early to announce a VP candidate, historically, and I think better to wait to announce for a time when maybe you can get a bigger portion of the news cycle than right now. Doesn't seem like a disadvantage at all to announce in August, e.g.

Elizabeth Warren is the youngest 70 year old I've ever seen--she could probably outrun most younger politicians in the mental department...even in the physical department as well.

I suppose. Everything has been thrown out of whack this cycle and it feels like no matter when it's announced, it will be at least a little bit overshadowed since things are no longer being done the traditional way. I'm also impatient af lol.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

My current bet, considering how consistently lucky Trump is and has been, that Biden will pick Stacey Abrams (D-GA).

[Horus]

My current bet, considering how consistently lucky Trump is and has been, that Biden will pick Big Fat Fatty (D-GA).

She had been losing weight for awhile, but appears to have gained again. Unfortunate, as Gil Cisneros' weight loss story that helped bring him over the line could've been repeated on a nationwide scale.

Plenty of fat people have succeeded in politics. Chris Christie probably holds the record. I guess Stacy Abrams once again places in second.

Oh no one of his best friends did something terrible and he didnt completely disown him and label him as the second coming of Satan. Joe Biden is the worst man ever!

Chris Dodd, in general, is a massive yikes.

[CookieDamage]

Joe Biden seems a lil dumb for putting Chris Dodd on his team when he was a (shaky, non-credible) allegation on his hands.

Yeah, this is bad optics. Though in fairness, people like us may know who Chris Dodd is and his background, but most laymen probably don't. It may not matter.

Agreed. I think it's a stupid move but most people won't know who Dodd even is, much less any allegations (I also don't know what the allegations are but I'm sure he has been a sleazeball). But leftists trying to get people to pay attention are gonna flop. Nobody is gonna freak out over this.

It won’t. Half of voters won’t even know the VP is until the convention and the other half won’t know until October.

All signs are positive for Warren, she is close to Jill Biden and along with Klobuchar arent threatened by the sexual assault charges.  Otherwise, Harris, whom was vocal on Anita Hill was threatened
