Clinton, Warren meet for first 2016 campaign event
Washington Post ^ | June 27, 2016 | Lisa Lerer

In December, thirteen of the 14 Democratic women serving in the U.S. Senate hosted a fundraiser for their favorite primary candidate: Hillary Clinton. The one who didn't show? Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Six months later, there's little distance between two of the most powerful women in the Democratic Party.

With the primary season over and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders fading from the spotlight, Warren is stepping up to reclaim her role as leader of the party's progressives. She's mobilizing behind Clinton, lending her presidential bid a powerful boost of liberal credibility.

In recent weeks, the two women have formed a tight electoral alliance - one that could grow even closer should Clinton pick Warren as her running mate. On Monday, Warren will join Clinton for their first joint event at a rally in Cincinnati.

For Warren, the appearance may be more like an audition, closely watched for any sign of chemistry between the two politicians. She's currently being vetted by lawyers involved in Clinton's vice presidential search, and they've asked Warren for documents and to complete a questionnaire. The next step: a private interview with Clinton.

Other than lie to advance her career, what has she actually accomplished? All she ever does is bitch. Obama is in office, she should be able to accomplish something other than bitching.

Isn't that a contradiction?

The leftists love Warren. They think she is a strong, moral woman who is speaking for the little guy.

She is really a condescending, lying, douche.

But, her fans will never see it.

I think Warren's biggest electoral vulnerability is her own damning words, in which she publicly claims to have created the looney, juvenile, business destroying, socially disruptive, disease-laded, out of control, intellectually bankrupt, philosophically incoherent, America-hating, unsanitary, disgusting, left-wing extremist temper-tantrum movement Occupy Wall Street:

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she says. “I support what they do.”

Conservatives need to endlessly tie her to Occupy Wall Street, recapping the horrific images of its appalling behavior:

Oh Great Spirit, please let Fauxcahontas be running mate of Princess Walking Eagle. I pray to sacred sunset for this.

Clinton won’t likely pick Warren as her running mate because it would make Clinton look old and tired (which she is) and it’s redundant to have two females on the ticket. Plus Warren is from Massachusetts; not exactly a swing state.

Can’t stomach iv minutes of here, but I will enjoy Trump ripping her to shreds if she becomes Ms. Rodham’s VP pick.

Shame on you MASSACHUSETTS for electing this dreadful person to the Senate...

The feathers will fly!

I am betting on Castro from San Antonio will be her pick.

Maybe the Castro from Cuba, same thing.

Should be interesting to see if Elizabeth Warren boosts Hillary Clinton’s lagging political rally attendee numbers. I am expecting Warren to boost the sagging Clinton rally attendee numbers from about 200 lost souls to 200,000, today!!! Only kidding, of course, LMAO!!! These two folks really do deserve each other!!!
