Kamala Harris would be the smart pick.
Why not Warren? If Bernie got the nod I would assume that's who he would pick.

I'm a big Liz Warren fan but I'd rather see her as AG or sec treas.
Because Warren's seat could go back to a Republican again.

I don't think Bernie would pick Warren (the programs can only be "his" regardless that she's the only one of the two who proposed thought-out programs). I think Biden should pick Warren.
Liz Warren would be a terrible VP pick for Bernie. She brings nothing to the ticket that isn't already there.
Bernie and Warren are closely tied in there beliefs.
Kamala Harris would be the smart pick.
SourceOrdered to reduce the population of California’s overcrowded prisons, lawyers from then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris’s office made the case that some non-violent offenders needed to stay incarcerated or else the prison system would lose a source of cheap labor.
In 2011, the Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Plata that California’s prisons were so overcrowded that they violated the Constitution’s prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment. Three years later, in early 2014, the state was ordered to allow non-violent, second time offenders who have served half of their sentence to be eligible for parole.
According to court filings, lawyers for the state said California met benchmarks, and argued that if certain potential parolees were given a faster track out of prison, it would negatively impact the prison’s labor program including one that allowed certain inmates to work fighting California’s wildfires for about $2 a day.
The incident is just a small part of Harris’s long career as a prosecutor, which has drawn scrutiny from Democrats and activists who describe her as a late comer to the social justice movement.
Bernie doesn't really accept any beliefs but his own. I think he sees Warren (probably rightly) as a threat more than an ally and that folks are allowing their views of similar (but hardly identical) platforms cloud their observations of the actual personalities.
As I've posted before, I think that a Biden-Warren ticket is about as ideal as it's going to get--steady, experienced helmsman to get over the initial shock of the Trump era, with the promise of moving into progressive programs with a VP who is most likely going to step up in four years, if not sooner.
That said, my picks for president started with Harris and then went to Klobuchar, so I would be happy with one of those as VP--I just don't think it's the ideal teaming.
Democrats need to be very careful about raiding a Senate seat for VP pick. Control of the Senate is critical.
The governor of Michigan could be a very good pick. Former prosecutor with many years of state government experience, where they actually get things done. Good geographical balance. She’s under fifty. And she handles herself very well. He could do a lot worse.
Why not Warren? If Bernie got the nod I would assume that's who he would pick.
SourceIn recognizing the five year anniversary of the death of Michael Brown — a black man who was killed by a Ferguson, Missouri, police officer — Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) claimed the young man had been "murdered."
On Friday, Warren tweeted, "5 years ago Michael Brown was murdered by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. Michael was unarmed yet he was shot 6 times. I stand with activists and organizers who continue the fight for justice for Michael. We must confront systemic racism and police violence head on."
Several people reminded Sen. Warren that Brown was a robbery suspect who was killed after attacking a police officer and that the officer, Darren Wilson, was cleared of wrongdoing in multiple investigations. Others accused Warren of pandering for votes with her message, and several accused her of spreading a falsehood that had already been long debunked. One person wrote, "This is a bald-faced lie."
Your guy gave derogatory nicknames to his Republican opponents like a petulant child.
Please stop responding to it.
