Elizabeth Warren

The more Elizabeth Warren speaks in favor of Hillary, the more that it is apparent that she, not Hillary, should be the woman running for the highest office in this country.  Hillary Clinton, fairly or not, has been tarred for years with the brush of dishonesty. Her detractors have said that she's a liar long enough for the fiction to become an apparent truth. People believe the slander, and Hillary has no way to show that she is an honest person.  Warren, however, is a fresh face, and someone more in tune with the people - and it shows!

Warren has the charisma that Hillary doesn't have, as well as the integrity that Trump lacks. She understands the economy better than many people on Wall Street, and yet, she sides with the common person.  This is a rarity...

As much as I wanted to have a Bernie Sanders led ticket, I can accept a Clinton-Warren ticket.  Only one problem - Hillary would be overshadowed by Warren, and this is unacceptable for any person wanting to become president - especially a woman.  So it is highly unlikely we'll see Elizabeth Warren run for anything other than her Senate seat.

Warren would be smart NOT to take the offer of the vice presidential slot on the ballot.  She is one of the most influential people in the Senate, and would have great power when the Democrats eventually regain control of the chamber.   More importantly, her resignation from the Senate would allow a Republican governor to appoint a conservative to take her place.

Does it make sense for Warren to leave the Senate?  No.  But she may get caught up in this year's crazy presidential campaign.  And I'm afraid of that.  We need people like her in the Senate until America regains its sanity - and I don't see that happening anytime this year....
