Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) reportedly plans to use her influence in the Senate to make Hillary Clinton become her type of presidential candidate.
In a New Yorker profile published on Monday, an unnamed Warren adviser told Ryan Lizza that the senator "can get Hillary to do whatever the hell she wants."
Accordingly, the source said, there's no reason for Warren to challenge Clinton's bid for the White House.
"I think she's in a beautiful position right now because she can get Hillary to do whatever the hell she wants," the adviser said. "Now the question is, will Hillary stick to it if she gets in? But at the moment Elizabeth can get her on record and hold her feet to the fire."
Former Rep. Barney Frank (D-Massachusetts) echoed this point by saying Democrats are afraid of being criticized by Warren.
"Right now, she's as powerful a spokesperson on public policy as you could be in the minority. Democrats are afraid of Elizabeth Warren. No Democrat wants Elizabeth Warren being critical of him," he told The New Yorker.
Warren team is reportedly joking that Clinton has become the best surrogate for Warren's agenda. An insider in her office told Lizza that -SNIP-

She can get her to put a plank in the platform, maybe, but after the election, President Hil (if that’s the outcome) will listen to no one.
My advice to Warren...stay out of Marcy Park.
I didn’t want to hear about the personal lives of those two while in the same boudoir. WTMI, Fauxcahontas.
A lot of my liberal friends are pushing a Clinton-Warren ticket. I ask them what makes them think Warren would have any interest in a VP candidacy when she has said repeatedly that she has no interest in running for the top spot. Then I point out what you just said, and ask them if they believe Warren is stupid enough to think that she would have any influence in a Clinton White House. I doubt she would even be invited to cabinet meetings.
I think Warren might be very amenable to being drafted, but we both know that’s not the same as influencing policy.
Sauron doesn’t share POWER.
Hillary clinton and Elizabeth Warren....
PHOOEY to both of them!!!!
A two-woman ticket? Might be a stretch to assume that is a winning strategy.
Ruh roh, Queen Hillary better not find out about this!
Cabinet meetings are pretty rare nowadays. Whatever they want to do, it usually doesn't involve getting 15-25 people with very different portfolios together in one room.
Warren could provide Hillary with a public face for her administration that would be attractive to the Democrat base. Clinton probably wouldn't actually do anything Warren suggested, but Liz might be slow in catching on to how things were.
A lot of politicians are flattered by simply being in the loop. Biden may be the kind of person who treasures and cherishes the few moments when he had any influence over anything at all, and forgets about all the matters that he had no say in. I don't know if Warren would be the same way or not.
There are way too many long-time freepers that should know better.
A Clinton Warren ticket (which I predicted last year - look it up) will be IMPOSSIBLE to beat, if the Stoopid Party runs the same old establishment male candidate.
Think about it- Obama won- TWICE~! That’s how stupid the American voters are. And the lure of being able go “OOOhhh I am voting for a pair of vaginas!!!” is going to be too strong.
The only think that would beat her would be a woman at the top on our side too, and I am rooting for Palin/Cruz. I think Cruz is smart enough to know this too, unlike Walker and the others - who really really want it. And Cruz would gladly take #2 spot because it would be a winning team- his ego is NOT more important than the job.
Clearly Warren suffers from a lack of reasonable curiosity about subjects that should interest her (economics, for example). But he is an intelligent woman with an obvious hunger for power. I think she understands Mrs. Clinton quite well.
It might be a stretch to assume that they are both women...
Hubris runs deep in these leftists.
Omg that is going to give me nightmares.
Eeeeeekkkkkkkk!
Completely incomprehensible.
We need the names of Warren’s advisors so that we can start to do background research on them. Bet a lot of old and new reds will show up among them.
After all, Fauxchohontas claims that she is a “Red(Skin)” -not a fan of the DC football team, but of Team Marx.
