Would you vote for a Dennis J. Kucinich & Elizabeth Warren ticket in 2016?

These two both have similar positions on the issues and relate very well to the US population because the US population is becoming more and more in poverty. I'd be willing to vote for these two for POTUS & VPOTUS in 2016.

Much as some at DU deny it, Presidential elections are won on the Far Left and won't be in 2016.

Similar views nothwithstanding, Warren comes across a lot better explaining her position on a variety of issues using plain language in a very convincing manner. She would have excellent populist appeal, and her prospects for victory would be excellent. Kucinich can appear a bit arrogant at times. His ability to muster support in past primaries has not been too impressive. I fear that Kucinich would not play well to independent voters and would be a high risk to lose the election, unless his opponent was someone like Ted Cruz, in which case I rate the outcome about 50-50 between them.

to the US population, he most likely would have received more than 2% of the vote wouldn't you think? As for Elizabeth Warren, I would vote for her in a heart beat.

It would be an amazing ticket. We would get major financial reform, less military interventionism, new infrastructure projects, much needed trade reform, an ambitions energy policy, a public option or single payer health-care system, and we would put Social Security on a path of fiscal stability for the foreseeable future. It would be a progressives dream!

Kucinich is the future, we have to wade through the hard times before we are ready for someone as smart and as right on the issues as he is.

announce and organize a realistic campaign.

I'm volunteering for Bernie.

I agree with him on everything, and like Elizabeth Warren, Bernie is a strong advocate, a fighter.

I'm happy with Bernie.

Best wishes to Kucinich and Elizabeth Warren though.

I wish Elizabeth Warren had run, but . . . .

admired Dennis, he has a lot of integrity. I'd hope if Bernie Sanders got elected he'd give Dennis a cabinet post. I'd love to see him elected to higher office or serving in a higher capacity since it's too late for him to run.
