2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumWhat about a Clinton/Warren ticket?
I keep seeing all these post about either/or so why not both? One term for Hillary then have Elizabeth run once she has the national exposure.

(11,986 posts)It said Hillary as one term (with Warren as VP), then Warren runs (VP TBD).

(1,375 posts)Maybe for both. Hillary would be the second oldest person elected to the office if she wins and if Elizabeth ran and won in 2020 she would be the oldest at 71 and a half. I don't want to sound ageist, but I'm having trouble seeing the electorate voting in anyone much older than that.

Squander got what I was trying to say, took me too long to formulate the proper wording of my post and he got it in before me

(30,439 posts)it would be awkward for her to then step down and make way for another candidate in 2020.
But I guess you never know.

(5,113 posts)AFAIK have their hands covered in blood by voting for Iraq war or shielding torturers, or anything that might comeback to haunt them later. Grayson has proven he can restle his congressional district out of the RW hold even though Democratic Party virtually abandoned him. Both can talk AND they can back it up with voting records and things they really did. Both are very charismatic and are easy to like.
Start PR compaign now. Use grassroots to print and distribute leaflets, and to explain why those two are uniqly suited to be the best President/VP big money CAN NOT buy. It has a damn good chance to work.
Go for it and get yourself the best. Those two can force the House and the Senate Republicans to do what's right, instead of what's best for their deep RW pockets and ugly ideology.
You need to have fighters who are not afraid to say it as it is, and these two don't shy away when attacked or when they are fighting for the what's left of the middle class, poor, disadvantaged and marginalised.

(6 posts)Progressives are a minority of the electorate, compared to centrists/moderates. Whether you like it or not, progressives alone cannot and will not win the White House.
And what good will it do any of us if a President Warren has to deal with a right-wing-dominated, GOP-controlled Congress? Have you given THAT any thought?

(30,247 posts)If Hillary chooses to run in 2016, she will probably pick a man. Warren is great, but she would do a lot more in the Senate. She's not ready for the WH.
