I mean, Warren and Pete do go well together, but on the other hand those are the two candidates with the whitest coalitions, which makes for a weak ticket. Of current candidates, I think Yang is a good contrast for Warren both physically and personality-wise, but he may be too strong a character for a running mate. It's probably a non-candidate then, as Ngelmish said.

Yang is too inexperienced to be a heartbeat away from the Presidency

He’s better than Buttigieg.

He's right tho. I mean it's dishonest if true, but gaslighting is when you call into question the mental health of the person questioning.

Well of course you're right, but on the other hand he is no less qualified than an unsuccessful mayor of a very small city

For one thing he has policies. And, he's not a smarmy neoliberal sock puppet.

Maybe important enough for its own thread.

The biggest and most important question at this point is will Warren have enough momentum to surpass Biden? Sanders is going to stay exactly where he is, and has been since the last election, perpetually stuck in 2nd place. Warren can chip at the edges of Sanders support base, but the majority are steadfastly loyal. Biden's supporters, outside of middle-aged and older blacks, are not so loyal. Are they enough to block Warren's path? Who will most of the lower tier candidates supporters go to as they slowly drop out?

If Biden stays in first place but Warren and Sanders together have a majority of delegates, I think Warren will have more and be the nominee, since she is the second choice of more of the lesser-candidate voters. However, Sanders has the better chance of the two to win an outright majority of delegates, since he is the second chance of more Biden voters.
