For all the "they don't get along" stories, Clinton and Warren were very amicable in the rally. First name basis (Clinton and Sanders aren't on that level, for example) and they both told personal stories about meetings and phone calls they've had together talking about things that they relate to (like being grandmothers). Lots of hand holding, smiles and hugging. The body language was telling.

It was Perez, Kaine, and Warren. Warren was leaked out again today: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen-elizabeth-warren-vetted-hillary-clinton-vice-president/story?id=40161546
In future decades young children will ask their parents what changed, why did their grandparents grow up in poverty and without healthcare at the beck and whim of corporations?
"The 2016 Democratic platform, young one. Bernie Sanders changed everything."
What a fucking joke. Can this old coot bugger off already?

It was Warren, Kaine, Castro.

Yeah, I'm honestly kind of shocked at how well they seem to work together
Ah, ok. So really, Warren vs Kaine.

I want Warren if Trump wins the nomination.
I want Kaine if the GOP ousts Trump for a generic Republican

Agreed.
I think Warren would be a damn good foil for if Christie is Trump's VP pick.
Today's making me second-guess myself.
Oh god :lol
Yes it will. Don't believe Wall Street bankers when they make empty threats, even if the reports are true. And the ticket will get some of the Sanders donor base too.
Do they give a lot?

Yep, they might be willing to forego donations for a generic rep, but they know how toxic Trump is and the last thing they want is that kind of uncertainty. God, I can't even imagine the horrors of Brexit and a Trump win on the markets in the same year
Give him some time. I look forward to his statements on the SCOTUS decisions today. (Forgive me if he's made them and I didn't see.)

Good, I'm fine with him continuing on his path for the foreseeable future. He seems to be raising money and actually putting together a campaign which makes it that much harder for him to be ousted when they have to explain to donors/voters wtf they are doing. Just needs to survive for one more month.
Speaking of which, what's his campaign rally schedule look like for the next couple of weeks?
According to Bernie they do
This was in response to the article that came out last week that Wall Street donors were signaling they wouldn't give if Warren was the VP pick. No way of knowing how real it was.

probably pivoting his sleep positions on the plane back from Scotland
He will also be doing a "policy" speech tomorrow, which I assume will be a teleprompter affair.

Nate, Wasserman, Enten are all saying that demographics means that Hillary should be more worried about PA than CO or NV.
Will be interesting to see how this develops.
Same with ME-02. But not too worried about that, just one EV overall.

Hat in the ring
Clinton: Becerra
Trump: Sessions
I'm not even remotely confident these will be the choices. In fact, I have huge doubts. But I just want to play, and there's no point in playing if you're not gonna have some fun with it.

Did he just say native Americans are lazy? Because that's what it sounds like to me.

IDK if it's the formatting or what, but the way it is it looks like she's calling her Pocahontas *because* she's 'not productive' in his view. Geez
Because Pennsylvania has a much larger white population than Colorado, and especially Nevada. In terms of demographics, Nevada is turning into a mini-California. Very large Hispanic population, and large Asian and African-American populations. They just need to get out and vote in midterms. I think the state will be there in a couple of cycles (not California-level I mean, that would take much longer, but safe D).

Trump headed to Bangor, ME in search of that one electoral vote.
I also don't really buy the Pennsylvania talk, at least not yet. We've gotten so few state polls anyway so it's hard to see if this is something that she needs to invest in.

Couldn't figure out whether to pick conservatively or pick from left-field, so I split the difference.

McCain and Romney received around 2.6m votes in PA; in 2004 W Bush reached 2.7m. I can't imagine Trump breaking that ceiling and getting the 3m votes required to win the state.

Trump will implode if Warren is chosen. Hilary loves how Warren gets under his skin.

It's weird, but it's not even in the Top Ten of weird things of this election.

What's great about picking on Trump's hat is that he's goofier looking without the hat.
Clinton/Warren's win is going to be cathartic for the country. Not only do you have a historic ticket and victory, but it's won by overcoming a prototypical bully in a time when bullying has grown to become a crisis for our kids on social media.
JUST HAD TO WAIT.
Does he not realize how racist calling someone Pocahontas is?
I mean, there's reason for it, but a lot of the Pennsylvania talk just gets simplified to "there are a lot of white voters, Republicans have a chance!" and that's true on the surface, I guess, but it doesn't paint the whole picture. SW PA was traditionally Democratic in the same way WV and eastern KY (coal country) were, and now that region has swung away hard from the Democrats. So sure, Democrats still have Pittsburgh, Erie, Scranton and Philly, which is a solid base in the state, but it's not enough. The real battle for the state is now in the Philly suburbs, and Romney knew that. He spent quite a bit of time and resources there, but fell short and Obama did win the state pretty comfortably in 2012. The area was Republican in the past, and now it's more of a swing area with more minorities (African-Americans and Hispanics) and college-educated workers who commute to Philly living there now.
He does. That's why he does it.
It's going to be the nerds beating the bully and it's going to feel so good as a result.

I'm rooting against Elizabeth Warren until you guys stop calling her Forma. It's almost a worse nickname than Pocahontas.
