But many people here think her running as Hillary's VP makes a lot of sense.

But as long as the GOP controls the senate she will do nothing they don't want done in terms of actual legislation.

And as long as we field candidates that never offer the voters any real change the GOP will continue to win elections.
I would think that history would have made that clear, but it has not.

And if they don't then she will remain just a voice and there will be no change.

She's a great voice to have!

potential candidate in order to:

^Get them to shut up
^Get under their skin

not as VP.

would accept Hillary's candidacy. Or that's what they say.

as Hillary's VP. I'm concentrating on Bernie

those who aren't happy with Hillary.

and for all the reasons listed above I wouldn't want her on the ticket. My choice is Julian Castro.

but will take a look around.

And Julian Castro is the best bet, since he forces Republicans to spend oodles of money defending Texas. It's the kind of triangulation a Clinton executes as second nature.

and at least progressives will get Julian. He's both pragmatic and resourceful but also talks about class A LOT. He remembers his roots and people will feel that warmth. I think they would be a very good ticket.

I'd still vote for it...unless Sanders picked Hillary.

them both either in the Senate or as President. Let Biden be VP again. It's a good place for him.

There is not much power there at all and the VP is very much expected to tow the line for the POTUS, whomever it may be.
Cheney was an aberration, both as an alleged human being and a VP. He only wielded power because Bush was weak and wanted him to IMO.

needed by the presidential candidate. If either Sen Warren or Sen Sanders wins the nomination they should choose someone like O'Malley or maybe Chaffee.

As far as Cheney goes, I really wonder if Georgie has figured out exactly how he was manipulated by his Poppy. I think the BFEE wanted Georgie to be the figurehead and Cheney actually wielding the power. They suggested to Georgie that Richard "Little Dick" Cheney could be a big help finding the right vp. All along planning on Cheney picking himself. I doubt that Georgie ever figured it out.

she'd be wasted in the VP slot, having to toe the party line

As a Harry Reid replacement, not Schumer.

What do you think?

is one nearly always given to those in the Senate with a great deal of seniority, in fact I can't remember a time when it was given to a relative new comer to the Senate.

Good idea, but not how the Senate works.

Welcome to DU by the way

The Senate is truly a good old boys and girls club. You have to pay your dues in time and party loyalty. She just hasn't been around long enough.

Thats what I would like to see happen, but I know it wont happen.

Schumers is an idiot anyway.

And welcome to DU!

Appreciate it

That's the job she wants to do. We should help her in every way we can.

...Warren will be tied to all of Clinton's baggage. Not just the Wall Street loyalty, but all the scandals that will ensue---the Bengahzi nonsense, the incredibly inept decision to have a private email as Secretary of State, the Clinton Foundation donations. Not to mention how she has little or no Senate accomplishments and rarely showed up. Clinton is an empty suit with a D after her name.
Doubt she'd want the real Democrat always standing next to her.

Male Latino is going to be our next VP

she wants to get work done, and is able to do so in the senate. watch for her take over the leadership w/in four years.

meanwhile, latin VP for sure; castro, mayor of san antonio.

if she's looking for fun, she should make larry wilmore her press sec.

likely Castro, McNally or someone in that vein. A dem up & comer. There is no way on earth the party would run 2 women when we've never even successfully elected a female VP much less a president. That's just reality. I personally wish it would be Elizabeth as the candidate rather than Hillary, but I'll take what I can get.
