Why a Clinton-Warren Ticket Just Might Work
The Fiscal Times ^ | March 14, 2016 | Damon Linker

Posted on 03/15/2016 9:06:49 AM PDT by kevcol

And by making the announcement now, long before the Democratic convention, Clinton would manage not only to dominate the news for several days, but also (and more importantly) begin the process of unifying her party and preparing it to fight the Republican ranters and bomb-throwers in the fall.

Then there's gender. By putting together an all-female ticket, Clinton would contribute to consolidating the image of the Democrats as an inclusive, forward-looking party. This year, in particular, the contrast with the angry pessimism and locker-room vulgarity of the Republicans would be especially vivid.

Warren is their most logical candidate given the current Populist mood of the country. She’d give Trump a much stiffer contest than Hillary, that’s for sure.


Until they do a DNA sample and prove she is no more an Indian than my Spring Spaniel.

Then they will have TWO lying weasels running, Trump will eat them for breakfast...

Get the popcorn!

“Clinton would manage not only to dominate the news for several days”

...while Trump manages to dominate the news for MONTHS, punctuated only with a breather favoring Sanders.

“preparing [her party] to fight the Republican ranters and bomb-throwers in the fall.”

I’m looking forward to straight-up Trump v Clinton: methinks she’ll have a nervous breakdown within weeks of his nomination.

“By putting together an all-female ticket, Clinton would contribute to consolidating the image of the Democrats as an inclusive, forward-looking party.”

Yeah. Nothing says “inclusive” like picking an all-white all-rich ticket based solely on gender. (Were they clearly the most competent choices, fine, but it’s absolutely clear that’s not the dominant criteria here.)

[[The country has moved pretty far left.]]

Thanks to the ‘gimmedat’ society

[[Two terms of Obama confirm that fact.]]

Yup- IF this country elects another democrat this election, then this country is hopelessly in the gutter- Tony Blair warned that IF we went down the ‘gimmedat’ road, we would likely never recove3r from it because once people get on the government dole, they refuse to get off it and will angrily fight to preserve it- Not that it’s impossible to recover, but it will be ‘nearly impossible’

I will never forget, as logn as i live, after dear leader got elected a second term a reporter asked a woman why she voted for him and she got this crap eating grin on her face and shrugged her shoulder and said “So I kin git me some of dat obamamoney” and when asked where she thought the money would come from she got the same crap eating grin shrugged her shoulders again and said “It’s just free, that’s all”

I knew then that this country was in big big trouble- We’ll see how this next election goes whether we’ve goen down hte rabbit hole or not

I don’t think everyone wants to be president. I think she likes yelling about banks in the senate.

Two old white women. Now that is inclusive.

Oh, will Liz again spread the lie that she is 1/32 Cherokee?

I guess is the head of the Spokane NAACP can self proclaim she is black, and Jenner can declare he is a woman, and Hillary can speak with a southern accent or black accent in the right group, I guess these women would be inclusive.

(s)Hillary needs a woman on her ticket.(/s)

It is the only way for her to have a “historic” ticket. Right now she is just another insider running on her husband’s coattails.

Then why’s she popping her head up out of the ground now?

Far easier if that were the case, for her to just wait until the Dems had their nominee.

That’s a fairer point than I’d like to acknowledge.

But Obama had horrible opponents and even needed a market crash to get in to start with.

Hillary will not dominate the news. Somebody will do something, and the press will be all Trump all the time. Dominate, indeed.

And even more interesting, who would they get who would NOT overshadow Hillary?

Interesting question. Hillary comes across as physically tired and she's not the most engaging speaker; even with a canned speech.

Logically, if logic ever enters into these things, she shouldn't pick another woman. It both overloads the demographic and it again invites comparison with Hillary. So she's left looking for a guy who is dull, low energy, and not threatening.

Hold on a sec. I think I have just the perfect VP for Hillary!

That was the funniest to me too. If all-female is inclusive, then so is all-male, all-white, all-just about anything! Do these libtards actually read what they write?
