Her picking warren seems unlikely to me for pretty much the same reasons Trump doesn't go good with Christie
too similar in a lot of different ways and having strong aggressive personalities will clash especially with Warren being considerably more progressive
Exactly, I agree. Ideally you pick a VP candidate who gives you something - whether it be geography, strength in a policy area, or an important demographic.
But, HRC could end up picking Warren. She's actually the leading pick in recent Vegas odds, I just checked that. If HRC and her campaign feels as if they've lost a lot of support due to Sanders supporters feeling excluded, she might think she could earn a lot of support back and unify the party moving forward by picking Warren. So her concern could be more in the area of gaining support and favorability (which is the lifeblood of any president to have the leverage push the agenda they want) rather than picking a VP candidate based on who would most help her electability, so to speak.
A sidenote, but man, a Trump-Christie ticket would be such a joke. Basically two bullies with loud mouths. I think Trump will go with Jeff Sessions, Newt Gingrich, Joni Erntst, Bob Corker or someone like them. He needs to unify his more Conservative base. Trump probably doesn't need to add another Northeastern Republican who is very disliked and seen as loud and obnoxious.
He probably should go with Joni Ernst, to be honest. She's a Iowan Senator, Tea Party member, former Lieutenant Colonel in the Army, and the first female veteran to ever serve in the US Senate. It wouldn't make Trump any less sexist if he picked her, but he could gain the perception of being less sexist/anti-woman, and picking a woman VP could help negate some of the criticisms thrown at him from HRC about women. I don't think it would really work but maybe it's worth a shot.
