He needs someone to help draft sweeping new legislation and budgeting priorities. No one is better at that than Warren.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

Well, does knowing Biden wanted Warren and only Warren for Hortensis Mar 2020 #13

Normally I would say 'great' but it would leave that Senate seat in a more precarious position. It alwaysinasnit Mar 2020 #8

She'd be a great pick, although I'd prefer to see her as Senate Majority leader Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #9

Are Schumer and Durbin retiring? Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #10

Don't care - Warren would be better than either of them nt Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #24

So I guess you don't understand how seniority Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #25

I do, but reject it in favor of what is best for the country. Nt Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #27

So you don't care about reality. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #28

The reality is, Schumer, Durbin and the others could put their country before seniority, Fiendish Thingy Mar 2020 #30

No reality is that not how are done in Congress Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #31

Schumer has only been in the Senate since the 1998 election Polybius Mar 2020 #44

Schumer has been in Congress since 1981. Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #45

Past political jobs should not matter, we're talking about the US Senate Polybius Mar 2020 #46

Mayor is not Congress Dem4Life1102 Mar 2020 #48

Love Warren, but imo Biden owes the spot to a black woman... polichick Mar 2020 #11

yes, preferably or a Hispanic woman, or at least a younger woman and preferably both. hlthe2b Mar 2020 #12

I agree - Warren would be great in a number of positions... polichick Mar 2020 #19

Warren is possibly younger enough treestar Mar 2020 #22
