There have been quite a few speculative posts regarding pro/anti Hillary and Warren...

[Drew Richards]

I have a question and please think about you answer no high emotion justmore...would it change your decisions and possibly your voting intentions.


What if Hillary declares for the presidency and names Warren as her running mate?

Would it change anything for you? Or how you might vote?

Please explain.

1. Hilliary is NOT running

But if they are both on the ticket, that is their choice. I perfer Warren as president and Grayson as VP. That way Grayson could take over as prez after 8 years. Imagine what 16 years of real progressives could do for our country?

2. I would prefer that ticket myself but there seems so much angst over Hillary I thought i

Would ask the question.

5. I hope Hillary does not feel entitled

That would be a shame. Certainly Billy would just love it.

It does seem some here on DU are pushing the 'Hillary is entitled".

Some did in 2008 and man it was a mess. Remember PUMA?

7. Yeah I do. And I would prefer not to see another clinton in the WH.

8. Oh, she's running, all right

All that's missing is the announcement, and I expect that to happen about a year from now. Maybe sooner.

3. IF Hillary runs, and IF she names a true progressive as her running mate...

Such as Warren or Sherrod Brown...

Then I would certainly look on her candidacy with a lot more favor.

But that's a lot of IFS.

4. No.

6. I will vote for the nominee.

9. A VP only gets to do something if something happens to the President. Well,

unless you're Dick Cheney that is. So, no that wouldn't change anything. I still wouldn't vote for Hillary.

10. No, it would change nothing.

The V.P. is a useless office and would be complete waste for Senator Warren's great mind and talents. I'll never vote for Hillary Clinton because of her corporate-friendly policies. As to how I might vote? I vote for the person who most closely represents my progressive values.

11. After Obama, I have had enough Republican democrats. So no on Hillary...

And really, I don't care if she digs up FDR and carries his desiccated corpse around with her on tour.

Okay, I lied, that would be totally awesome. But barring that, no. She's had her chance to cozy up to liberals, and instead she got snuggly with Goldman Sachs.

12. That was actually what I was hoping would happen, but Warren has ruled out being on the ticket

in either position.

13. As a New Yorker my vote is probably never going to swing an election...

so I'd probably vote for the Green Party candidate or someone similar, regardless of VP choice just to send a message.

But for those of you who live in purple swing states, voting for anyone but Hillary in the general election is enabling a Republican presidency. Just think carefully if it's really worth it protesting corporatist-lite to get corporatist-heavy. I'd be enthusiastically voting for Hillary.
