Elizabeth Warren as VP?

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren has grown on me in leaps and bounds lately. Her Tweet wars wars with Donald Drumpf are incredible she has no fear and actually seems to enjoy it very much. Like George Patton she seems to thrive with each salvo without a blink of an eye. Anytime she speaks there is usually one shot fired across the bow of the USS Drumpf. 

 Even though she hasn't officially endorsed anyone as of yet but her Twitter war with Drumpf show's she's paying attention to whats going on. I've wondered if she's actually trying to deflect Donald's attention away from Hillary in an indirect way of helping her. With Hillary deflecting attacks from Drumpf and Sanders she could use all the help she can.

Talk of her being Vice President has heated up again which isn't surprising. She would help bridge the gap with disappointed Bernie fan's. She would also bring a passion and fire to the campaign that Hillary kind of needs at this point with constant attacks from sdanders, Trump and also about those pesky emails. 

The biggest problem is that Warren comes from Massachusetts which has a a Republican Governor, Charlie Baker, who isn't bad per say but would certainly appoint a Republican replacement. Democrats are already in the minority and would be hard pressed to lose more ground. One has to wonder if the stakes are high enough to take that risk and go for the win. For one thing you're already behind so what is to lose? What's in the balance? A Senate seat or Trump as President? Go for it!

Ted's Hail Mary Pass



Even though I despise Cruz I can see a couple of reasons he grabbed her for VP. One is a short term gain of catching the medias attention for short term. Take a little steam out of the Drumpf's recent wins. He needs every little bit of attention from the media that he can grab away from "The Donald". 

Two. Is an obvious play towards the woman's vote. Ted must have in mind that this is the one Achille's heel that Drumpf has. Despite Donald swearing he loves women(and everyone else) he has a 70% disapproval rate among women(Democrat and Republican). He must be talking about the 30% I guess. Carly also dents into Hillary territory in her appeal.

Three. Snags her before someone else does. Not that Drumpf was necessarily was going to pick her but then again who figured Christie and Carson would side with him. 

I certainly think this is a hail Mary pass as Ted and Governor Kasich have done little but be a small nuisance to the orange one. Between the two of them their only hope is to deny Donald the required delegates to clinch  and put the Republican Convention in Cleveland into chaos.
