Which one of them would be the presidential candidate, and which one would be the vice presidential candidate? Also, why would they run on the same ticket? They’re from different parties, and they hate each other.

Elizabeth Warren has a chance of beating Trump. Jill Stein probably has no chance. But I’d vote for an unplugged toaster over Trump, so either one of them could get my vote if they’re weren’t any better options.

Common foes have made for the strangest of bedfellows, it is a long way until the next election, finding common ground in Trump bashing can put them on friendly terms if not “frenemies”.

Elizabeth Warren will likely be the Democrats’ nominee in 2020. I think she stands a good chance. I would definitely vote for her. She was a professor of commercial law at Harvard. I have watched videos of her giving lectures and she is top notch. She is able to speak knowledgeably without being condescending. Trump, by contrast, has no advanced degree, reads very little and has the attention span of a five year old.

In her Senate experience, Warren helped establish the Consumer Protection Board, which Trump will likely try to weaken. She has supported causes for the average person.

I don’t care particularly for Jill Stein. I don’t think Warren would choose her. I know that you are thinking, “How can anyone support two women?” That of course is not the issue. There are far better choices for VP, male and female, than Jill Stein.

I am so totally repulsed by Warren’s loud mouth and persistence I hope I’m dead if she ever runs. When I see her I can actually feel my blood pressure rise. Even Hillary with her yelling and fist waving didn’t turn me off this much.

Do you actually believe Trump will make it through 4 years? My guess is that the wheels will fly off the Trump regime long before 2020 and if Pence survives whichever scandal or blunder responsible, the stench will render him unelectable. How would you like to go down in history as “the man who pardoned Trump?”

^^ Probably just partisan rumors but there are stories out there that Trump is tired, frustrated and angry at the restrictions on his actions as President, that the position has already lost its luster and he is ready to get out.

Risky. I wouldn’t want to bet on that race.

@rojo Can he simply pack up , resign and move back to Trump Towers? Do you have any links at all ?

If that assessment was 100% right, and he won anyhow, I think her Harvard connections will be for naught.

@Aster Nothing that I would bet money on. I found it in passing last night and was unsuccessful in relocating the website this morning. IDK re: getting out. I will ask

And a sad day it would be for our country not to choose the person who is more qualified.

^^ Wouldn’t you say that has already happened?

LostInParadise's avatar

Probably, but I voted for Clinton as the lesser of two evils. I feel strongly that Warren is the right person at the right time to be president.

janbb's avatar

@LostInParadise I totally agree. I’m for Warren 100% and I would have wished for her to be the candidate in 2016.

This wasn’t one you asked about, but I saw where Mark Cuban said he may run.
