He is smart, liberal, and famous, charismatic and political. He could run for president, or maybe senator first, then later on as president.

with Bernie as a VERY INFLUENTIAL vp.

I'm not sure if Warren is my top choice either. I dob't trust her social issues yet. Maybe we need a woman of color?

So I don't think he would be interested in running on a Progressive Socialist ticket.

But if he did, he could very well draw a lot of progressives.

I don't think anyone today will beat that, not even if Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren joined on the ticket.
