If Warren agreed to be veep that would damage her greatly as a progressive, so I think she will say no.
And Peter we are voting Green.

I think this year over a million [perhaps several million] voters will vote Green...which may make it possible for the Green Party to be in the debates next election and they would surely win, if ONLY people knew they were an option [most do not]. Peace and Freedom is another great party - always there and always totally ignored. I'd actually like to see the more progressive 'third party' parties come together for at least one election cycle to pool their constituents and show America there really is a choice to vote for something other than the newest version of the SAME OLD SAME OLD.

I've voted Green in every election except 1988, 1992 and 2008 (Democrat in those cases), and probably will again this year.

I would have voted for Cynthia McKinney in '08 but at 7:30pm pst on election day Obama only had a modest lead in the national vote (landslide in the electoral) so I voted against Republican voter suppression. Turned out Obama won by 7% -- he should have won by 10%. I was set to vote for Nader in '00 but he went into Florida 2 days before the election -- a tilt toward Bush and the eventual slaughter of a million Iraqis. I'll never forgive Nader for that. In 2003 I registered Green and only switched to the Dems a couple of months ago so I could vote for Bernie. I planned to switch back to Green until last week when Jill Stein was quoted as saying Hillary Clinton should be in jail over her "e-mail scandal." I don't like Dominionist propaganda coming out of the mouth of a progressive. I don't dig it at all. In 1992 I wrote in Frank Zappa/Mike Fox. Zappa was a famous musician and Mike Fox is a not famous musician -- both great guitar players. Zappa tore up Al & Tipper Gore over the Parents Music Resource Center which suppressed the distribution of underground music in the 80's. My protest vote this year are Iesha Evans, the lady who stood up to the cops in Baton Rouge, and Diamond Reynolds, the woman to filmed the aftermath of her boyfriend's execution in Minnesota...Unless Hillary picks Elizabeth Warren, in which case it may be a new day in American politics. After all, no candidate in this cycle raised or spent as much as Bernie Sanders. It's 2016 -- who needs Wall St?

Who would take the bigger risk -- Warren damaging her standing with progressives, or Clinton losing her standing with Wall St.? http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/el...ent-224489 "If Clinton picked Warren, her whole base on Wall Street would leave her," said one top Democratic donor who has helped raise millions for Clinton. Oligarchy or anti-Oligarchy...What's it to be, Hillary?

Elizabeth Warren is a 4 to 1 underdog for VP.
I love those odds, wish I could get down. Who in American politics is a better "attack dog" than Warren? https://www.rawstory.com/2016/07/elizabe...-weak-men/ At best it's still half a loaf -- I know, I know -- Warren may be a foe of Wall St. but like any politician she'll bow to the National Security State.

When Trump picked Pence for VP, that is his way of insuring his loss -- which by the way is what I think is the goal: to insure that Hillary is elected President. Pence makes Trump even more unelectable.
