Robichaud: Picking Elizabeth Warren as VP would be kiss of death
Boston Herald ^ | 6/27/16 | Holly Robichaud

Someone needs to send an apology to Ohio.

I did not vote for Elizabeth Warren, so you cannot blame me for what is about to happen.

Today, our Massachusetts nightmare hits the campaign trail for the Democratic presidential ticket. U.S. Sen. Warren will be stumping with Hillary Clinton in the swing state.

Will they do a sit-in to demand votes for the ticket? That’s the only way they are going to get support for this already flawed ticket if Warren is chosen for the vice presidential slot.

It’s no surprise that Warren is being considered. She has been working hard to earn her spot. I don’t mean in accomplishments for the people she serves. Forget Massachusetts — Warren has spent her days toiling away for Democratic candidates all across this country. On a daily basis, she sends out fundraising emails begging for money for liberal candidates. Please note that she failed to send one out for Clinton until recently.

For the amount of fundraising Warren does for Democrats, it is hard to distinguish her from the actual Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Who knew being elected U.S. senator from the commonwealth was all about raising money for the party? Can you imagine the outcry from Democrats if Scott Brown had spent most of his time in the Senate campaigning for fellow Republicans rather than doing his job?

If there is any accountability left within the mainstream media, certain issues such as higher education, profiting from property investments and affirmative action would be off the table with Warren as the VP nominee.

How can a Clinton-Warren ticket talk about the cost of college education with a straight face? As we all know, Lizzy got paid $300,000 for teaching one class. Despite the complete hypocrisy, they will be shameless demagogues on the issue.

Warren’s as-yet unsupported claims of Native American heritage have a much better chance of damaging the ticket, because this gross abuse of an affirmative action claim undermines Clinton’s base support. While certain Massachusetts media outlets have avoided coming down hard on her, the national media probably will not accept the “family lore” explanation of “high cheek bones.” There will be pressure on her to publicly release all of her job and school applications to see where she checked the box.

Picking Warren as vice president would most likely be the kiss of death for the Clinton ticket. No matter whether Republican or Democratic, candidates from Massachusetts sink on the national stage.

The discredited Media will maintain "hypocrisy silence" on Warren...

Clinton may be a dishonest crook, but she’s not stupid. She won’t pick Warren. She’s got her eyes on Castro, and honestly, that’s a smart pick for the Dems. The left will absolutely love him. Not a good thing for our side, IMO.

I honestly dont know what to believe... I mean Zero got elected twice right.... it wasnt just a bad dream.

I dont have to like the polls to agree with them. I want to see what the real truth is, not colored by my own perceptions just cause I hate her...

I expect to see the Dems roll out the following in September.

1) Hillary (or whomever the nominee is) will embrace Bernie’s Free College Scam. It will be portrayed as a boost to the economy. Realtors and car dealers will climb onboard the loan forgiveness proposals.

2) The Dems will propose taxing Wall Street to pay for a massive boost in Social Security benefit levels. It will poll 80% approval.

3) They will propose something akin to televised public floggings for bankers. Live from Yankee Stadium.

Trump will have a real battle on his hands with these.

Just remember, Biden tore Ryan apart. Trump needs to (and will) pick a fighter.

That's why I think now Trump should pick Newt. A debate between Elizabeth Warren and Newt would be a beautiful thing to watch.

The author should relax. No way ultra-leftist Warren will be chosen as veep.

Pocahauntus' chief function now is to stay glued to Hillary's side as much as possible to attract disaffected leftist Bernie voters to the Democrat presidential ticket.

“She is exactly stupid enough to do it. “

Must have a guardian angel by the name of Lucifer.

Nothing else can explain it.
