None of us do, and it's silly to pretend otherwise.

Everyone thought she'd be feeling that "Bern" long before today, but it looks like she is staying far from the fire. Quite sensibly, too--after all, there's no "gain" for her to alienate half her constituency no matter what she does.

So they should not presume what Elizabeth feels.

She is my Senator and yours. I don't always agree with her. Yet she is ours.

She doesn't want to be president.

By the way, most voters, elected Democrats, and super delegates disagree with you.

Link to any place she has said that? Many times, she said "I am not running" (and she didn't, and she isn't). However I don't remember her ever saying anything like she would never, ever want to be president.

Not even if I agreed with the person's stated policy ideas. Not even if I liked them personally. That kind of thing is radio active.

No fucking way Warren would consider this, not at any stage of the game whatsoever.

Not with Clinton, she wouldn't.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Thu Apr 21, 2016, 07:26 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Elizabeth Warren would NEVER agree to VP before the FBI decides and announces.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511804983

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

flame bait. Too much of it today.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 21, 2016, 07:33 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm uncertain as to why the alerter feels that a disagreement is flame bait. Perhaps they misread it, or got it confused with another?
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: First, Hillary won't be indicted, you should probably stop clinging to that dream. Second, stop carrying water for the GOP. Even though this OP is a waste of space, it isn't worth a hide vote. My advice to the alerter, let them spam this crap it just makes it clear who they really are. -Agschmid

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

You get two free alerts a month. Any alert after is made public. Choose wisely.

Thanks goodness I don't make the rules.

9. veeps secretly pray for a scandal that will take down the prez
Thu Apr 21, 2016, 07:40 PM
Apr 2016

if it's a nothing scandal, then whatever, politics as usual.
if it's enough to derail the presidency, then as long as that happens after the election, well, that's the veep's dream!

so, i'm not really seeing the logic in your argument, unless you figure the possible veeps are seriously worried that a democratic justice department is going to indict a democratic presidential candidate just a few months or weeks before the election.

bit of a thread-the-needle argument....

on everything that matters.

But I could see her as Bernie's VP, because they are practically twins, ideologically, and would work together beautifully as a team.

He is not the nominee period end of story...your fantasy will come to an end. He has no path...not through delegates and not through super - delegates. He lost the primary period.
