Saw a few headlines that Warren is moving up in the line of VP nominees.
President Pocahontas would be horrible. How much would she run with Biden decaying? And if not her as VP, then who would run things behind the scenes?
Biden, his team, the MSM and others can say and claim all the want about him - my own eyes and ears show me definitively that his age is taking it's toll on him. And this is exactly the reason why he and others are keeping him from public view as much as possible. And what little he does do, he screw up almost every time. Hopefully they don't find a way out of the debates. That's a large opportunity for the voters as a whole to see how snappy he'll be in his responses and if on target or not.
Imagine him stumbling and mumbling behind the scenes, and a collection of democrats then get together and really run things. And look at all the people he's lining himself with in order to gain more votes if possible - from Bernie to Aoc, Omar, Warren here and other socialists and far left twitnits.

How Warren is shaping Biden's policies
As Joe Biden rolls out new policy details and speeches around his major campaign platforms, the hand of one primary-rival-turned-VP-contender is increasingly visible: Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
Why it matters: If Biden wins in November, it's clear that Warren will significantly shape his approach — on domestic policy in particular — whether or not her name's on the ticket.
Her influence helps explain why Warren is still seen as a strong potential pick in a year when being 71 and white probably works against her.
Biden is expected to announce his running mate in early August from an all-female shortlist of candidates.
Driving the news: The climate plan Biden touted in a speech this week includes an expedited target date for 100% clean electricity on a timetable favored by Warren and another former contender, Jay Inslee, as Reuters noted.
Several elements of Biden's economic recovery plan released last week were directly influenced by Warren and her team, three people familiar with the discussions told Axios and Biden campaign officials confirmed.
The big picture: Biden has so far publicly adopted at least six policy stances shaped by Warren and her team.
On March 14, Biden endorsed Warren's bankruptcy proposal, which includes a student debt relief portion.
About a week later he tweeted about increasing Social Security checks by $200 per month and forgiving a minimum of $10,000 per person in federal student loans — two of Warren's plans.
For his "Build Back Better" economic recovery plan, three sources familiar told Axios that the Biden and Warren teams consulted closely together on this plan and many of Warren’s ideas are reflected in it.
Specifically, the procurement investment and a focus on green manufacturing were derived from two of Warren’s plans she unveiled during the primary.
"Biden’s recent bold moves seem less like a political hat tip to progressives and more like he’s genuinely aiming to meet this moment and smartly consulting with people like Elizabeth Warren as he comes up with big plans for this moment," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which endorsed Warren in the primary.
