I don't know about betting a grand, but something to make it worthwhile, like $50. If he says it again, be ready with the cash and plunk it down in front of him: "I'll take that action."

I would LOVE for it to be Warren, but, I don't think it will happen.

simply because he's already served two terms as President already, and is not eligible to be President again, which means he can't be VP.

What I'm actually curious about is if he thinks that's supposed to help or hurt her election chances?

liberals love Bill. How can you argue with that logic? Seriously. I told him to look it up. Bills' done in the WH except for First Gentleman status.

However, even here on DU, among people who REALLY ought to know better, a year or so ago there was a lot of discussion about the possibility of Bill being a VP pick. Or maybe it was back when people thought Biden wouldn't run for the second term. But in any case, a lot of people here didn't quite understand why he could not do that.

"No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice President of the United States."

I'm pretty sure that covers Bill.
