I think Warren has to be President or remain in the Senate. As VP she would be too far outside of the policy-making machine that she is so good at. Bernie is all hat and no cattle... he has never gotten any serious legislation passed. He is a compelling speaker and an incredibly principled person. As VP he could take on the Big Picture issues and sway public opinion - as he has been doing in his campaign - but leave the practical aspects of the lawmaking to the people who have done it so well for so long. Warren is the wonk. Bernie is the message. Then we make Adam Schiff the leader of the Senate once Moscow Mitch is unelected by his constituency, and we can Get Some Shit Done, FDR-style.
