Hillary Clinton hosted Senator Elizabeth Warren at her Washington home on Friday, fuelling speculation that the pair could join forces to form an all-female ticket in the presidential election.

The senator from Massachusetts arrived at Clinton’s house in an affluent, tree-lined suburb near Observatory Circle just before 10.40am and left about an hour later without taking questions from the media.

The women have had several conversations over the past month, the Washington Post reported.

Warren, 66, endorsed Clinton on Thursday night and, asked by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow if she felt confident she could be commander-in-chief if she became vice-president and had to assume the top job, replied: “Yes, I do.”

Clinton was asked about that by Lester Holt (I think) yesterday and she said they haven't really put much thought into that yet. Bernie was mentioned too.

I like Warren but I'd rather see someone else as VP.

True. But I think Hillary's best bet is to go with Julian Castro. He can sure bring in the Hispanic and Latino vote and is experienced and very popular! It would be a Win-Win situation and she could sure make great gains with him on the ticket!

Yep ... but the first think out of anyone mouth is ... would he be ready to be President?

That question is always two sided ... only 44 has been President, was all of them ready on day one?

One can never say for sure until they are in that spot, but it's best to be confident and to have people surrounding you qualified.

No one knows everything.

With Trumps thin skin and Glass Jaw ... I would think one punch from Warren would be enough to take the Donald down

Picking an aggressive establishment female wouldn't make sense politically. Clinton already has those bases covered. It would make sense strategically to pick a white male, I'd think.

I think Castro is more likely as VP. I just don't see an all female ticket.

Picking someone who lied about being a Cherokee doesn't seem like a good move.

But lying doesn't seem to bother party loyalists, otherwise Hillary Clinton would have lost the primary to Bernie Sanders.

It's just a lie.

But lies don't bother loyalists.

Otherwise they would have picked Bernie Sanders instead of Hillary Clinton.

Certainly a lot better than Schumer. I'd vote for Warren for president though, if she stays the hardline progressive that she is.

Her as VP won't be enough to get Hillary my vote though.

@Ethereal (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=870), Let's get something straight. You first spoke of violence, not me. I know about internet tough guys, I am not one. I told you to show me where it had been proven the EW lied about her heritage or STFU. You took it from there. I will say this though, when I was a young man I was always too proud to run. I was in some pretty hairy situations and I'm still here. So cool it on the idea I am a tough guy, it ain't happening no a days.

I'm not speaking of violence.

But that is the only way you're going to get me to STFU.

In any case, Warren is a liar.

She is not a Cherokee.

She is a miserable white twat.

It attracts more never Trumps, it reinforces her I'm sane he ain't tack.

She's savvy that's what she'll do, if she errs.......... picks someone who is also a fraud... who knows.

I think Castro is more likely as VP. I just don't see an all female ticket.

Why not... we have lot's of experience with "same gender" presidential tickets.. don't we?

However, I think her choice should be Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio. He could deliver that swing state for her.

I liked Elizabeth Warrens and I really liked her taking on wall street and standing up for the little guy.

Her claiming to be indian to get financial benefit shows shes no better than the wall street she calls devious crooks.

If she were true to her beliefs about wall street she would turn hillary down flatly to be here Vice President. Hillary is OWNED by wall street

There's no evidence she intended to decieve and there's no evidence she actually benefited from it.
