Don’t yell at me! I didn’t say it, but I can’t say I’d hate the idea.
That title above is the argument that Dana Milbank made in his Washington Post column today:
With his talk of China “killing us” on trade and Mexico “destroying us” on manufacturing jobs, (Trump) has the potential to best Clinton in an area that traditionally benefits Democrats: a perception that he cares about the problems of ordinary Americans.

I realize Bernie supporters will say, this nomination process isn’t over yet and they are right. But it certainly does not hurt to ponder what Elizabeth Warren might do for a potential Clinton nomination:
An all-woman ticket would electrify Democrats and widen a gender gap that is already broad enough to swallow Trump, long accused of misogyny.
Above all, Warren’s passionate populism would provide a perfect antidote to the oft-bankrupt billionaire Trump. If Clinton embraced Warren, and more of her agenda, she could match Trump’s appeal to disaffected, white, working-class voters.

As I have said many times, I live in Vermont. Bernie is my senator. But Elizabeth Warren has always been a rockstar in politics for me.
Would it taint her image becoming part of a Hillary ticket?
Would she help propel Hillary into the Oval office?
Would her progressive ideas have any influence over a Hillary Clinton White House?
And if not Warren then who?
I’d love to see some real discussion without the usual nastiness :D
