After Joe Biden committed himself to picking up a woman as his veep tongue wagging has been set in motion to predict whom he is going to give the nod..
Joe Biden is committed to unify the democratic party so being himself a moderate it will make no sense to pick another moderate like Kamala Harris, a senator from California, for example
We say so because one third of the nomination votes within the democratic party was taken by far left candidates of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren combined..
And past election of 2016 showed a modest chunk of those who voted for Bernie Sanders did not turn up in general election or decided to vote for Trump out of contempt for feeling being alienated by the democrats after Bernie Sanders failed to garner the nomination..
It is a mistake the Joe Biden camp will attempt to avoid by picking a veep from far left to unify the party by reassuring them the winner takes it all no longer is in the democrats playbook.
So since Bernie Sanders is not a woman the closest of appeasing the far left is Elizabeth Warren the current senator from Massachusetts...
While picking African American woman like Kamala Harris would have delighted African Americans a key demographic in his presidential nomination, but even without her in the ticket, African Americans will still overwhelmingly vote for Joe Biden because he was a loyal soldier in the much revered Obama administration...
So Kamala Harris will not get the veep nod leaving Elizabeth Warren to sweep the veepee sweepstakes...
But Warren endorsement will not come as a free lunch, she will name her policy must concession price...
We expect two major policy concessions she will demand: some modicum of Medicare for all and student loan forgiveness...
Medicare for all will be part and parcel of the reforms earmarked in the Obamacare while income discrimination will guide how student loan will be wiped out..
Once moderation of the far left policy proposals has been accommodated we expected Bernie Sanders and a veep in waiting Elizabeth Warren to hit the ground running urging their young voters to support Joe Biden - Elizabeth Warren presidential ticket...
That ticket will give the Donald Trump camp many a sleepless night...
