Yeah, Well, You Won't Be Asked

In an interview on MSNBC, [Senator Elizabeth] Warren was asked by Rachel Maddow: “If you were asked to be Secretary Clinton’s running mate, do you believe you could do it?”

Her response was concise: “Yes, I do.”

She may get put on the "short list", but she won't really even be considered.
Speaking to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Thursday evening, Warren said the Sanders campaign had been “powerfully important”.

“He ran a campaign from the heart, and he ran a campaign where he took these issues and really thrust them into the spotlight – issues that are near and dear to my heart – and he brought millions of people into the democratic process,” she said.

But, Warren said, “Hillary Clinton won. And she won because she’s a fighter, she’s out there, she’s tough. And I think this is what we need.”
Right. She won because she's tough. Not because of the Democratic party machine with its Wall Street, corporate and media partners. And if Warren thinks this is what we need, she won't be popular with the progressives and actual leftists for long.
Warren’s endorsement came within hours of President Barack Obama formally giving his endorsement to Clinton’s candidacy. “I’m with her,” Obama said, in a video recorded on Tuesday. “I don’t think there has ever been someone so qualified to hold this office.”
The office being what it is today, I'd have to agree.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
