CBS News poll: Elizabeth Warren tops Democrats' wish list for Biden's vice president
CBS "News" ^ | May 4, 2020 | BY ANTHONY SALVANTO, JENNIFER DE PINTO, KABIR KHANNA AND FRED BACKUS

Economic expertise and crisis management skills are top qualities Democratic voters want to see in a vice-presidential pick for their party - even more so than executive or legislative experience - as concerns about the pandemic and the economy now become a lens through which voters see that selection process.

Those criteria become even more important to Democrats who are very concerned about either their own job losses, or contracting the coronavirus themselves.

Elizabeth Warren is well atop Democratic voters' list of those who should be considered for vice president - with 71% saying she should be - and Warren also outpaces other possible picks by a wide margin as their first choice for the job: Warren at 36% first choice, to Kamala Harris' 19%, Stacey Abrams at 14%, and Amy Klobuchar at 13%. No one else gets over 4%.

Warren is the top pick among white Democrats and liberals by large margins. Warren is among the top picks for black Democrats too, but they are more evenly split between Warren, Abrams and Harris. Warren is also among the top with moderate Democrats, for whom the top three picks are Warren, Klobuchar and Harris.

Former first lady Michelle Obama was not listed among the potential picks but was asked about in a stand-alone question. Most Democrats (64%) would like to see her on the ticket if she were in the running.

Polls are tools of manipulation designed to persuade people to adopt a position which has been pre-selected for them. They aren't trying to measure anything.

Warren has never held any executive position. The worst crisis she ever managed was getting found out about her lifelong ethnicity fraud.

Can anyone imagine this schoolmarm scold being within a heartbeat of the Presidency?

Bad enough her politics are far to the left. She is an accursed screech owl, and unable to moderate her behavior.

Trump has his target for opposition research. Turn full fire on the VP pick.

Joe Biden would just be collateral damage at this point.

If Biden chooses Warren, it means they are not starting from a position of strength, but they need party unity.

Warren is an energetic and healthy septuagenarian. She is still a septuagenarian, Biden is old enough that having a second in his bracket is not wise from their perspective. Also, she may be incapable of letting Biden set the tone, and may make him seem more weak and tired by comparison.

Go ahead Joe pick Warren please pick Warren. Candidate Biden is a Hail Mary pass to keep Barack Obama out of prison. With Pocahontas on the ticket guaranteed to lose. Barack lawyer up.

In addition, Wall Street and American business both hate Warren. Overall, I am rooting for Grampy Biden to pick her. The resulting Democratic campaign would be like a leaky old rowboat trying to raise and make way with a fifty-ton anchor.

The way this works is that since they authorized the poll, CBS wants Elizabeth Warren to be the VP - they do a poll to agree with what they want.

PedoJoe will NOT be the nominee.

Recently, he slipped up and admitted he was a “transitional candidate”. Beijing Joe knows he’s gonna be replaced.

It must have been difficult to list preferred Demonicrats for PedoJoe’s running mate. There are so many lying, murdering traitors in the Demonicrat Party from which to chose.

Democrats are crazy? Blind? Stupid? All three? That they’d even consider this loser who had so little faith in her abilities that she lied about her ancestry to take advantage of career set-asides reserved for minorities.
