In an interview just last month, Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn’t exactly say she wouldn’t consider becoming Hillary Clinton’s running-mate, instead choosing to declare that she loved her job in the Senate and was doing exactly what the people of Massachusetts sent her there to do.
More recently, though, Warren has seemed to enjoy her ever more active role in Clinton’s bad cop/worse cop routine against Donald Trump.
The same media that (justifiably) criticizes Trump for his lack of substantive policy talk certainly went crazy after Warren appeared in Cincinnati with Clinton this morning and went after Trump’s goofy “Make America Great Again” headdress hat.

Warren picks up the "goofy" attack Trump's been using at her. "You want to see goofy look at him and that hat," she tells the crowd.

"It's stamped to the front of his goofy hat" – Elizabeth Warren on Trump's Make America Great Again slogan. We've got ourselves a goofy-off.

Clinton and Warren wore matching blue pantsuits and brought some matching sick burns of @realDonaldTrump https://t.co/dPJdXmKDsq

Those were some sick burns, all right — but were they enough to secure Warren a slot as Clinton’s VP? If her appearance today wasn’t a tryout for the team, every single media outlet seemed to have misinterpreted her presence.
idk about you but warren is really nailing this audition rn

Unsure if Warren will ultimately be Clinton's VP pick, but Team Clinton certainly getting what it wants – energy – out of today's tryout.

ABC News passed along this earth-shattering exclusive from a source early Monday.
JUST IN: Elizabeth Warren being formally vetted as possible VP pick for Hillary Clinton, source tells @CeciliaVegaABC

i'll say it again: picking anyone other than Warren for VP makes no sense
— Peter Hamby (@PeterHamby) June 27, 2016
If u believe u win w your base turning out, then there really is no other option for #Dems than Warren as VP. Most energy at HRC rally ever
— Luke Russert (@LukeRussert) June 27, 2016
Hold up: there are quite a few who seem to think that, while she makes a great campaign surrogate for the robotic Clinton, Warren would be damaging her own brand as a true progressive by signing on with Clinton.
There are so many reasons why Clinton will not pick Warren as her VP it's pointless to rehearse them all. This is eyewash for Bernie-fans.

Elizabeth Warren did great today but Hillary Clinton's unlikely to pick her. Keep your eye on Jeanne Shaheen. https://t.co/74KOiLlV12

These rankings were from before this morning’s non-audition. Did the sick “goofy hat” burn seal the deal or is Clinton keeping her options open?
