She's to the left of Obama, no way she makes it.

Well, it's pretty easy to play populist if you have no sense of shame or personal integrity. I guess that's what it takes. Just tell everyone what they want to hear.

She's an academic; she doesn't know anything about the average citizen.

yeah dems aren't serious about running her, they want it to appear as if hildawg isn't ascending a throne.


So here's the play.

Dems run the two women (Hills and Pochanates) plus a few token guys. The old boys bow out early and say it's time for the nation to move forward and elect a woman. They'll cite the fact that we're years behind the UK, Germany, Brazil, India, etc.

GOP runs its slate, and they're smart enough to play it cool. But some boneheaded House candidate who has a microphone in his face for the first time says something retarded.

Media pounces, war on wimmenz, birth control denied by old whitey, all wimmenz menstrual cycles in the US sync-up and they go absolutely batshit on 08 November 2016. Wimmenz flood the polls, men take shelter, Hillary destroys Rand/Christie/Bush.

Why would you say that? I don't agree with her on a few things, but I like her stance on big banks and the student loan industry.

I wouldn't vote for her for president in 2016 though.

I hope she runs because her and Hillary would destroy each other in primary debates.

It would split the women vote and cause neither to get the nomination IMO

I would imagine the DNC, if they're smart, are telling her to not run

Taxes for one, didn't she say she wants to tax million and billionaires 60 to 70%?

My friend, the article is from CNN. I have a feeling that there are many on the Left that want to see her run. Many. She is (somewhat) the anti-Hillary in their mind's eye. And as a Conservative, I am hoping she does so we can offset the abysmal job we have done as late of getting someone elected for President.



She is being pushed hard by the far left of the D party. They are the one's orchestrating this. They didn't like Hillary in 08. They don't like her now-she's far too moderate for them.

So in other words- very similar to the last two elections.

While Warren and I do not agree on many fiscal or social issues, I do support her anti-establishment attitude and wish there were more like here.

Her running for president is laughable though.

war, drug legalization and most importantly BANKS.

I would be intrigued by a warren candidacy, I am not sure she has the experience or the qualification to be president but holy frick does she hate big banks. And I hate them too.

No way she gets nominated though, too egg head.
