But what if Elizabeth Warren does not want to be a VP? Maybe she's told Hillary that she will campaign with her UP UNTIL the Convention, thus helping as much as she can to grab as many Sanders supporters as possible. JMHO, of course!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh. Didn't think of that. In any case, Warren's appearance on the trail is smart strategy.
DeleteThat's what I was thinking.
DeleteMy take on Elizabeth is that she wants to do whatever is best for the country - which in this case means the Democratic Party and Hilary. If that means heavy campaigning, then that's what she'll do. I see ambition to make the nation better, not ambition for a higher office.

Democrats do not want to lose her seat
DeleteI agree too. She isn't being "used" she's helping Hillary and she wants to for the country's sake.
DeleteLook, I harbored no doubts that Mrs Clinton would choose Ms Warren as her VP. I think it's good strategy. Warren would pass any vetting session thrown at her.........which reminds me of palinstomping, which makes me ask Uncle G when oh When is the next installment of "She's The Fucking Worst Mom Ever"? I have no more finger nails to bite!

DeleteHow much are the Palins paying you guys to mention one or more of them in every thread?
Go find another blog then. I am waiting too for more delicious news re The Horrible Mother.
Delete@1:52PM The Palins are never OT until all of them have vanished from media of any type. Whatever it takes, anytime, anywhere.
DeleteHillary has an appointment with the FBI tomorrow.

And this thing with Bill.
WTF?

@11:51 AM Are you an F.B.I. agent? Naaah!
DeleteHillary's campaign will not even make mention of Bill's "impromptu" tarmac visit with Lynch. Lynch admitted it was a mistake, but zero feedback from the Hillary camp...a little "mea culpa" might go a long way towards warding off conspiracy theorists, unless there really is a reason he scheduled a visit with the AG...
DeleteHe scheduled no meeting. Gawd,folks. He's an ex-President and was responsible for making Lynch a US attorney during his own Presidency. Lynch listened to him talk about grandchildren & his golf game for 30 minutes. If you've ever met him, you'd know how possible that is.
DeleteMaybe it's a test run, but it would be lousy if she chose Tim Kaine after this week. EW is awesome!
ReplyDeleteYou really think Warren is that stupid or devious?
ReplyDeleteNo I don't think that Warren is at all stupid and certainly not devious.
DeleteThat is why seeing her sharing a stage with Hillary, and coming out so aggressively on her behalf, is yet another strong indication that there is no indictment or fallout coming from any FBI investigation into that e-mail server.
I would argue that the same holds true for that meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch.
They know the investigation is all bullshit so they were not at all worried about being seen spending time together.
@12:28
Delete"They know the investigation is all bullshit so they were not at all worried about being seen spending time together."
You just keep telling yourself that...
Also there is a separate investigation concerning the Clinton Foundation.
As much as I like Warren, I do not believe she will be a good pick for this election. Clinton will want someone with more experience, especially with foreign policy, plus you can kiss any wall street, banking donations good bye, plus people already nervous with a female will now have 2, just not sure it's gonna work
Delete@12:36 PM You keep up your wishful thinking, the Donald has much more scandal and skeletons.
Delete@1:19
DeleteAnd you keep sailing your leaking boat on the ocean of delusion and denial.
Both the Clintons are in deep shit...
No, I was wondering if the Clinton campaign was testing out how much money Liz could help them raise. She's one of the best in the party. What if they didn't need the Wall St money because they could raise money like Bernie did? If anybody can do it, it's EW. She was way more popular than Sanders before he ran, and she might still be a better fundraiser.
Delete2:37 - you do seem like a manure expert.
DeleteIt would be nice. I'm conflicted though. Elizabeth is such an effective Senator, I'd hate to lose her voice & work.
ReplyDeleteYet, she'd be a kick ass VP, doncha think? The finance people are worried (good), threatening to pull fundraising money if Elizabeth is chosen.
Hillary could put Elizabeth in charge of banking regulations, etc., sort of like Biden is with the wonderful Cancer Moonshot.
It would be awesome if Biden could continue as VP. Oh, I don't want to see the Obama-Biden team to go. These 8 years flew by way too fast, unlike Bush*/Cheney that horrifically dragged on for what seemed like forever. :sigh:
Joe would be great again as VP! Especially love how is pushing the research/medical/cancer scientists/oncologists, etc. to work harder on finding a cure for cancer.
DeleteHe doesn't need to be VP to continue with his goal, but I wouldn't mind seeing him w/POTUS Hillary Clinton! They'd be a great team too!
It would be great if Warren gets to debate Sarah Palin!
ReplyDeleteQuestion for those of you in Wasilla: Is it common knowledge that SP faked the Trig birth?
It would be a hoot if Trump picks Palin as his running mate, even though I seriously doubt he will!
DeleteThis go around, the journalists would go after her as we currently seeing them do w/Trump!
They are 'diggin' in the dirt', big time!
There is a LOT of crud to disclose on Sarah AND Todd Palin that would finally hit the media!
Man, I never thought of it like that. Warren and Palin debating. It'd be amazing. Warren can speak a million miles a minute just like Palin, but what she says is intelligent. You know Trump is going to keep interrupting Hillary and trying to keep talking over her, and although it's said that the audience will have to be quiet and the candidates will have to show respect to the people asking questions, there is no way Trump will be able to contain himself. I hate the thought of both GOP candidates being able to over-talk the Dems. As much as I love Biden, I hated his politeness toward Palin during the debate because she was allowed to yammer on and on. Warren would shut that down.
Delete12:18pm
DeleteNot just to those of us in Alaska but to any person with two functional eyes it's very obvious that Palin faked her pregnancy with Trig.
However, it gained her nothing, and in fact has saddled her with a severely retarded "child" that she will have to be responsible for forever.
I'd say it was a "lose lose" situation for her.
Yes, I get that it is obvious to anyone that she faked it but does the folks around her (grocery store/bank/gas stations/library HA HA) act like they believe she did give birth to Trig? Is it like a joke?
DeleteMika and Joe a gogo:
ReplyDeletehttp://pagesix.com/2016/06/30/joe-scarsborough-and-mika-brzezinski-laugh-about-secret-romance/
I thought Mika was a "girls kind a girl".
DeleteI'm of the belief that Hillary Clinton will pick whom she feels is the best person to work along side of her should she be elected POTUS.
ReplyDeleteElizabeth Warren is beneficial to her no matter what role she plays - from Congress or as her running mate.
Hillary Clinton has my vote!!
"I'm of the belief that Hillary Clinton will pick whom she feels is the best person to work along side of her should she be elected POTUS."
DeleteTell us more, Captain Obvious.
I'm all for Hillary/Warren but not at all convinced that if Warren isn't VP that it would cost Hillary the election. pfft
ReplyDeleteA lot of people would be disappointed if she didnt pick EW but I agree it wouldnt cost her the election. Tim Kaine would be a good/safe pick but the ticket just wouldnt have that excitement. I felt the same way about Biden when Obama chose him...a good and safe pick but nothing to get excited about. At this point, the Trump Train just needs to keep losing a few wheels on a daily basis and the struggle will be all too real to make up the loss. #Imwithher

I believe Warren would be able to choose ANY position she wants and where she will be most effective and she'll explain why.
ReplyDeleteSo @jess_mc & @Zac_Petkanas went to Trump Tower, bought Trump swag & talked to voters about where it was made. Gold.

Just watched some Mediaite clips of Palin in CO today. Lots of makeup (she still looked like a man) and hair added, as well as some new made up vocabulary.
ReplyDeleteWords of wisdom on her speech (c4p). No wonder they "get" her word salad:
Deletejohn norton a minute ago
A computer is only as good as its input ,the Governor s in that case is America's avatar speaking back to us... :)
Mr. Trump also said he would like to see Sarah Palin play a role because she endorsed him over Mr. Cruz, a point of pride for Mr. Trump.

Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump Behaved
With Women in Private
Interviews reveal unwelcome advances, a shrewd reliance on ambition, and unsettling workplace conduct over decades.
Donald Trump and women: The words evoke a familiar cascade of casual insults, hurled from the safe distance of a Twitter account, a radio show or a campaign podium. This is the public treatment of some women by Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president: degrading, impersonal, performed. “That must be a pretty picture, you dropping to your knees,” he told a female contestant on “The Celebrity Apprentice.” Rosie O’Donnell, he said, had a “fat, ugly face.” A lawyer who needed to pump milk for a newborn? “Disgusting,” he said.
But the 1990 episode at Mar-a-Lago that Ms. Brewer Lane described was different: a debasing face-to-face encounter between Mr. Trump and a young woman he hardly knew. This is the private treatment of some women by Mr. Trump, the up-close and more intimate encounters.

I'll say it again: it would be weird if Elizabeth Warren was NOT campaigning with and for Hillary Clinton.
ReplyDeleteSome people need to STFU.
I don't want to get my hopes up, but I find I have my hopes up. What a dream ticket.
ReplyDeleteBye bye Bernie. Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out.
We are gonna get ***creamed*** if that's the ticket.
ReplyDeleteWrong.
DeleteNot sure if I like this:

Why does she give the FBI such a power? Is that the norm?
@1:53
DeleteGive the FBI power?
They are investigating Hillary on two fronts and will present the DOJ with their findings and recommendations as to which laws were broken.
It's how it works here in America.
1:53 - it's all gonna be fine. No worries!
DeleteI think there are a LOT of male voters in America that would NEVER vote for a two-woman ticket.
ReplyDeleteSome of those wouldn't ever vote for ONE woman, even - but might vote for her if the VP is male.
Senator Warren is extremely effective and needed right where she is: in the Senate.
Hillary will be much more effective with Senator Warren in the Senate as a Senator rather than as Vice President.
Hillary/Franken 2016
I think it's looking more and more like Hillary will pick Warren. I do think they are very aware of the fact not all of America is ready for 2 women and this is a way of testing the waters. Sort of a marketing trial run.
ReplyDeleteThey can gage the enthusiasm and acceptance by the amount of donations this generates.
I think it's just Hillary's campaign doing their due diligence and being very thorough. If she doesn't go with Warren then maybe this test did not generate enough confidence and they will look for another candidate.
On a side note I really don't think Trump is going to end up the Republican Candidate. He is just going bat shit crazy and I think they will figure a way to get him off the ticket. I'm sure he could be bought off - I don't think he is as rich as he says.
I don't think America is ready for two women yet either, but hey, we'll never know until it is attempted.
DeleteWhat's the worst that can happen?
Agreed. And they will nominate rMoney instead...
DeleteWall Street is going to be pretty pissed about this ;-)
ReplyDeleteThey have nothing to worry about.
DeleteShe's just saying that because Bernie has been saying it. As soon as he quits, she won't be saying it much. And once elected, you'll never hear anything about that. Nothing will be done either.
Gee, and I thought she would pick Bernie, he's got her right where he wants her- the White House.
ReplyDeleteYeah, nothing happening there, they're just talking about women's stuff.
What are the odds of Congress wanting to impeach Hillary the first day of her Presidency and every day after?
ReplyDeletePretty good IMHO! She is a Clinton, after all, and the ReThugs WILL go after anyone named Clinton, especially if she does give Bill some position in her Cabinet (He seems to be hellbent on jeopardizimg her running for President. Insecure much?!)
So, as an insurance policy, it would be just perfect for her to choose Elizabeth Warren as Her VP...
I agree with the Washington Post Editorial Board. It's time for the FBI to end the Clinton e-mail investigation. It's borne no fruit in a year:

@9:31
DeleteTakes a bit of time to go thru all the "deleted" emails.
Also there is a separate investigation concerning the Clinton Foundation.
James Comey(Obama appointee) is a man of integrity and will do a very thorough job.
It's a nothing burger, @4:23. No one cares. The FBI is under great pressure right now over Orlando, which they missed, and now they are being sued for also missing Charleston. Comey is in hot water. Wake up. Did you read the WaPo piece? Oh, right. You don't read links -- just spew rightwing propaganda.
Delete"In my opinion using Warren in this way locks Clinton into choosing her"
ReplyDeletereally gryphen? can't quite grasp the real "using" process? clinton will pick an hispanic person as her running mate. there's no way the dems are going to have 2 white people on the ticket.
