Whatever happens, happens with regard to Warren. The reason I want to have her picked as VP is because my primary concern is income inequality and the shameful poverty this rich country has. And nothing anyone has done so far has turned it around. Over the last seven years, the Democrats controlled the House and the Senate at one point and the presidency and nothing happened. The income inequality continues to worsen unabated. You know what they say about insanity, it is doing the same thing over and over and expecting to get a different outcome. The reason I would like to see Warren in the VP slot is that it is the executive branch. All the Senate/congress does really is pass laws and a budget, but they don't really get integrally involved in the administration of the country. That is done by the executive branch. Even including war. The entire mid east conflict was administered by the executive branch. Against the constitution I would mention. Remember that Joe Biden as VP had more input into the war in both Afghanistan and Iraq than all of congress... If Hillary picks Warren you can bet that she will give Warren tremendous power to do the things she wants to do, in my opinion. And one of them ironically may be going in and using the executive branch to curtail some of the fraud and excesses of Wall Street. Something Hillary can't do herself. Warren as VP I believe would have great latitude to start implementing the types of policies needed to start rebalancing our society taking power away from the aristocracy and giving it to the bourgeoisie and proletariat.; and redistributing the wealth. This is a necessity in my opinion. The executive branch has a lot of latitude that people don't understand. Even the ability to change budgets within a department. I did state budgets for 20 years. I was surprised at how well the chemistry worked between the two. I was watching MSNBC last night and they were talking about the Hillary and Warren show again and mentioning how it surprised them as well and compared all the other people being considered for VP, they seem gray. That was the word they used. Warren was the bright star and the rest of them seem gray in relation to her. They also talked about how Warren was going for VP with all her effort. She wasn't even making an effort to hide that she wanted it. No subtly at all. That is a BOLD move putting ones self out there like that and what we need to effect income inequality, IMO. The reason she can do that though is because of the huge intrinsic power (leadership of the liberals) she has, i.e she knows how to use her power. That is important and I think Hillary sees and respects that. Anyway we shall see and I will be happy just to see the Democrats back in power with the new left-leaning base and a new Supreme Court that can wipe that smirk off Robert's face. And put horror in the faces of Alito and Thomas-lol.
