warren is popular among a certian crowd, which is why i think he would lean towards her as a running mate: 1, she's a woman, and 2, she preaches socialism. but the problem is that she'd have to answer questions she right now doesn't. like why did she say she was a minority native american, and how can she justify her positions on the banks -- for which she is most well known -- with the fact that she gained her fortune to begin with by buying and flipping foreclosed houses, profiting off the misery from banks on people, something she rails against now. that's why i think she's a liability.
hillary would never accept playing second fiddle to anyone, so she wouldn't accept the vice presidency on a nomination. i think her candidacy is doomed. it was made to be something inevitable and because she was the front runner she gets the most pressure on her. this email thing won't go away, and if nothing else, shows a massive lapse in judgement abilities, but i think it's far more nefarious than that. she knew what she was doing. but the fallout isn't even just her emails. now she has an insecure server that is sending tons of messages to and fro the state department to the state servers, and when we have john kerry just a few weeks ago saying he thought the chinese and russians were reading all of his emails that were secured, this is a much bigger breach. not just a breach into what she sent and recieved, but who knows if the chinese or russians used her server as a backdoor to get into the rest of the state department. this is why it won't go away. other people have been prosecuted for less. for example, clinton's husband pardoned former cia director jon duetch for much less. he had a government computer at home that had some classified material on it, discovered a few days after he left office. and while that case moved quickly, unlike hillary's case, it wasn't as significant. still, he was working out a plea deal when his former boss rescued him. obama won't pardon hillary, or, if he does, it will be after someone else gets the nomination.

My life has become a single, ongoing revelation that I haven’t been cynical enough.
