Hillary Clinton met with Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) on Friday amid a string of conversations with advisers aimed at closing in on a running mate, according to multiple reports.
They met at Clinton's home in Washington, D.C., NBC's Monica Alba reported. The meeting reportedly lasted about an hour.
It's the second time in recent weeks that Warren has visited the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee's home. Members of the media closely followed Warren's private meeting with Clinton last month after the Massachusetts senator formally endorsed her.
Clinton has also recently met with others whose names have been bandied about as potential VP choices such as John Hickenlooper, Julian Castro, and Tim Kaine, however it is still my firm believe that none of them bring to the table what Warren brings.
She virtually destroys that "Clinton is in the pocket of Wall Street" argument, and will easily attract those still straggling Bernie supporters.
Beside an all woman ticket will make this election almost as historic as the 2008 election, and who DOESN'T want to see Elizabeth Warren face off with freaking Mike Pence during a VP debate?
In fact she is not waiting until a debate to take him on.

Damn, this could be so good!Of COURSE @realDonaldTrump – a guy who calls women fat pigs & bimbos – picked a VP who is famous for trying to control women’s bodies.— Elizabeth Warren (@elizabethforma) July 16, 2016

Plus, I'll bet I could outshine you in many, many ways! Want to try?

I'm sure it would be a delight, but I don't think anything will ever beat Handsome Old Joe Biden just busting out laughing at Ryan, and his happy shark smile every time he went in for the kill. Malarkey!
Not to mention 2008's infamous "O'Biden" reference with his Cheshire Cat grin back at her.
DeleteSuch a dolt and still is.
"Can I call you Joe?"
Joe Biden has been the very best VP in my lifetime and I'm in my late 70's. Love the guy...sharp as can be and has the greatest smile!
DeleteHe and President Obama have been an outstanding team and appear to have a very good friendship.
We are going to miss them!
But, Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would be a dynamic team! Most enjoyment during the campaign would be seeing Warren debate Trump's VP pick! Damn, but cannot recall his name?!
VP Biden was so easy on Palin, but he got a kick out of her and the fact she tried so hard to look and sound VPish!
DeleteLoved watching the match up - VP Biden was such a gentlemen and as he said after they were finished - "You owe me, guys!"
Agreed and well said 12:57. Just to add: as an old broad who spent most of my life in Colorado - Hickenlooper would be a horrid pick. Horrid. Far to liberal, uncharismatic, and not a voice of the people. Just look up the chucky cheese murders and hickenlooper's ridiculous actions.
DeleteAnon 12:57. Here's little mnemonic to remember Trump's running mate's name, if you know old British money: Pence shilling for Trump.
Delete12:57 PM-
DeleteBravo! I'm in my late 70's as well and agree with all you said.
I hope, hope she chooses Warren. Kaine would be ok - love his fluent Spanish - would connect with Hispanics. But - we need the fire that is Elizabeth. That lady fears no one!!!

She's also meeting with Castro and Hickenlooper.
DeleteStill think she missed the boat not considering Al Franken.

I think it's much more important to resonate with voters who actually speak English. This is America and yes some immigrants need to catch up and learn the language but I don't believe in pandering to them just because they haven't bothered to learn yet.
Deletejust wow 3:04, pandering?
Delete3:04
DeleteIn any language there are so many subtilties. I watched a conversation recently he had with a Hispanic interviewer who made a joke - and Kaine understood exactly what the man meant.
In my experience working with Hispanic people - they do the best they can with the words/phrases they have learned. I was not saying Hispanics should not learn the English language - and pandering was not where I was coming from.
Pat Padrnos
Nearly 30% of the people in my New England town are from Puerto Rico. They came from America and are Americans - and they speak Spanish.
DeleteA lot of immigrants who speak English well enough still appreciate that someone can speak Spanish. It's wonderful to hear your native language in an unexpected context.
DeleteI'm several generations removed from immigration, but anyone who can speak more than one language gets a TON of respect from me.
And for anyone who snivels about immigrants not learning English fast enough, I have this question: How many languages do YOU speak? I don't care if you are not an immigrant, we all have a duty as world citizens to learn more than one language, especially rich Americans (we are ALL rich compared to where about 99% of hispanic immigrants are coming from - if you don't believe me, you need to spend some time in rural Mexico or Guatemala or Nicaragua) who have access to educational opportunities and the internet. That line of thinking is just so freaking clueless and disrespectful.
"we all have a duty as world citizens"
DeleteUh, no 12:11. No. We are Americans, not 'World citizens'. Where is my 'world' citizen constitution?
12:11..... Mexico has a lot of money, and plenty of resources, huge potential. They also have unbelievably massive corruption and classism. Mexico needs to clean up their own house, only they can do that.
DeleteI hope she picks Warren, the electricity is there!
ReplyDeleteEvery rightwing site I've visited since Pence was announced has expressed worry that Warren would clinch the deal for Hillary. A few mention Castro, also.
Delete@11:30 AM Don't bring your Mom into the discussion, lol troll.
ReplyDeletei've come around to Warren after not wanting to lose her in the senate. there really is no other possible VP choice to light a fire in Clinton's campaign. i like some of the other choices but they are pretty blah personality wise. Hickenlooper's name is just too weird to be the choice. Clinton-Hickenlooper? it's awkward. yes i know that's shallow.
ReplyDeleteHe's a great governor, but I think he's great in Colorado.
Delete"an all woman ticket will make this election almost as historic as the 2008 election" Two women on a national party's ticket will make this election objectively MORE historic than 2008, by 1. A woman at the top of the ticket is pretty fucking historic. Two is mind-blowing. But, it's silly to even make comparisons of which is more historic. Both are paradigm-shifting elections. Both are necessary for us to move forward.
ReplyDeleteWarren would be excellent. Sherrod Brown would be great. Hickenlooper is unlikely to actually be in serious contention. Tim Kaine is...ughhhh...he's extremely centrist and is somewhat of a step backwards in terms of the progress of the party. He might have been the best choice politically, had Bernie not happened, but he did and he proved that a large part of the party wants to keep pushing left. Julian Castro is a craven political move since his political experience boils-down to figure head of San Antonio and just two years as HUD secretary. He's simply not ready to be VP. Clinton should give him a top shelf cabinet appointment to get him ready for 2024- something like Secretary of State that gives him a ton of foreign experience. At that point, we'll be ready for a Latino presidential candidate and he'll be ready for the job!
I like al Franken.
ReplyDeleteI do too, but think Elizabeth Warren the best choice for Hillary Clinton.
DeleteI love Al Franken! His books were insightful, intellectual, timely, and truthful. He reminds me of McGovern, Eugene McCarthy, and Paul Wellstone. Franken is a true Midwestern centrist. He has the kindest words and intellectual debate with Chuck Grassley, which shows what a great diplomat Franken is. Love the guy!
DeleteI love Al Fraken as well, but she won't pick him because Bernie didn't groom her for that and wouldn't approve (wink) Dammit! IF Bernie never happened Hillary wouldn't be smart enough to pick a compatible VEEP ready to hit the ground running if need be.
DeleteHilary won and is entitled to chose whom SHE wants by her side.
They've taken Warren off of the speakers list for the DNC, so it's Warren.
ReplyDeleteSmart move on Hillarys part, Warren is her only shot at winning this shit-show.
Her only Shot? Seriously?
DeleteHillary and Democrats are the adults in the room.

I have lots of criticism of Hillary Clinton. However, all of it is based in reality, unlike the baloney that Drumpf spews.
ReplyDeleteI'm with her/her
ReplyDeleteClinton/Warren has the energy. Both are exemplary on their own or together.
ReplyDeleteAfter what I heard and saw of Pence, especially when he appears with Drumpf, that team will be the biggest losers.
"Clinton/Warren has the energy"
DeleteIt is so brilliantly apparent when they are together.
What I would personally love most about the pick, even more than the respect I have for Warren, is what it would say about HRC, if she goes with the person she clearly wants on the ticket even though it would be a gutsy move. Such a major contrast with Little Donny, who clearly had the hots for Christie but was forced to settle. (How does it feel to be schlonged by the GOP, Donny? Was it as good for you as it was for them?)
I've said it before: one of the two people in this race has brains, and balls.
They took a poll here and 57 percent said they would never vote for two women on a ticket. This is a large city. That worries me. I am very concerned about a Trump presidency. With the polls having them tied, it scares me to bits.
ReplyDeleteIf it's only Warren, Castro and Hickenlooper, that's a pretty narrow field. Also pretty uninspiring, except for Warren.
DeleteHickenlooper would be the butt of jokes and Castro will be linked to Cuba even if undeservedly. Plus Castro has no experience; not enough to be a President. At least Hickenlooper is a Governor.
If it's only those three, I question Hillary's decision making. I didn't like some of Obama's appointments either, specifically, Education and Interior.
I'm hearing the same...misogyny is alive and well in America.
Delete1. Where the hell is "here"?
Delete2. The polls do not have Trump and Clinton tied. Clinton is ahead in every poll or poll average that matters. National polls don't matter. The swing states matter. Clinton is way ahead any way you dice it in electoral college votes.
I am part Cherokee too. I was thrilled to finally match the DNA and relatives to the story I had been told as a kid and young adult. 11:30, stuff your racism where the sun don't shine if you can find any room in your whitey tighty racist butthole.
ReplyDeleteThere is no such thing as "Cherokee DNA." Scientists do not have an accurate genetic map of Native American peoples, and they intermarried with each other anyway, especially after colonists arrived and disrupted their movements. Like all tribes, the Cherokee only accepts ancestry records of enrolled members as proof of Native blood. If someone told you you have "Cherokee DNA" they're a bad scientist.
DeleteI'm not part Cherokee, and that doesn't give me the right to slam another person who IS part Cherokee. If you think about it, people of native descent, whatever percentage, are the REAL Americans who hold this land and it's riches sacred, and have for generations. So they're MORE american than the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThere ARE exceptions to everything, look at the Palins and the honor they've given their ancestors.
I would have no problem with Hillary/Elizabeth, however I think it is a very risky move, in a very important election.
ReplyDeleteIt is been an uphill battle just getting the USA to join the 21st century with one woman on the ticket, let alone two.
I still think that they are men that would be ok with voting for one woman, but not two and could ease there conscience that at least "there is a man in the background in charge" Not all the "pigs" are Republican.
Also we would be losing a sure Democratic seat in the senate.
As much as I would love a two woman ticket, I think it would be better to wait for the next election.
Give the neanderthals use to a woman president for the next 8 years first, then go for it.
I like Julian. He may not have foreign policy experience but neither does Senator Warren. Nor did Barack Obama. Can Julian shoot from the hip, think fast? Is he politically savvy? Does he listen and observe? Can he lead? I am going to research/vet him. I liked his speech (2012). I read he wasn't the greatest mayor. I'm sure Hillary will choose wisely.

What's the problem with two women on one ticket. There's two men on the 2016 Republican ticket! Don't forget there were two men on the Republican ticket in 2008. I forgot the name of that feller who was hell bent on going after Obama.
