Kennedys pushing Warren to run against Hillary in 2016
NY Post ^ | August 3, 2014 | Edward Klein

Posted on 08/03/2014 3:39:12 AM PDT by Zakeet

In an echo of 2008 — when Ted and Caroline Kennedy backed upstart Barack Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton — members of the Kennedy clan have been quietly wooing Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and encouraging her to throw her hat in the ring, sources tell me.

The question of whom to back in the 2016 presidential race has split the Kennedys down the middle. Robert Kennedy’s widow, Ethel, and their eldest son, former US Rep. Joe Kennedy II, favor Warren — the darling of the party’s left-wing base who now sits in Ted Kennedy’s old seat — while Bobby Jr. and Max Kennedy remain loyal to Hillary Clinton.

Warren is such an amature. Hill’s Dem spin machine could have her come out as an Indian princess in no time.

Don't know which one you are talking about. Klintoon or Liz
They both suck.
I pray to GOD that we can come up with someone we can all get behind. and take our country back from the low life LIBS who have just about totally destroyed it.
If that statement makes me racist, then call me BULL.

Funny picture.

Funny story.

I do remember how The Swimmer, Ted, backed the Clown over Hitlery...it came as a shock to the Demon Rat establishment. (Actually the old lady Hairy Reed did the same thing.)

Ted K. was probably the ONLY Demon Rat who could successfully stand up to the Hitlery juggernaut—any other ‘rat would have been pummeled by the sycophant media in service of She Who Must Not Be Named.

Very funny to see this happen again to HRC, though I must say it may not work this time since Ted isn’t really the one doing the pushing...other Kennedys are not as immune to criticism.

They are both probably communists. You get any flavor you want, so long as it’s Marx-Berri.

I don’t know that too many Dems want Hillary; the wealthy liberal whites might, but the dark masses they’ve stirred up with racial rhetoric might not want a honky as their pied piper. Blacks and browns want their “piece of the pie”...

Conservatives belittle Elizabeth Warren as a dangerous candidate at their peril.

The woman has many advantages over Hillary.

First she has all the qualifications that Hillary has, she is female. The rest, like being a Senator or Secretary of State simply do not matter.

Second, she is far more attractive than Hillary.

Third, she has a message and Hillary has none. Warren's message is that we need more statism to shape our economy. She even cites the Ronald Reagan years as an example of misplaced economics claiming that trickle down failed and that the wealth "trickles up." She failed to cite in the video I saw a single statistic to back up this deranged claim which is at 180° variation from the truth. But that does not matter, she is enthusiastic and persuasive in tone and it is perception alone that matters. She stays on message. She relates her radical redistributionist nostrums with kitchen table needs which especially appeal to women.

Fourth, she will have the enthusiastic support of the media while Hillary would have only begrudging support.

Fifth, she is fresh, hardly the tired old bitch that Hillary is. Make no mistake, Warren is an out and out redistributionist and far more dangerous both as a candidate and in office than Hillary but she knows how to put a benign face on her treacherous, redistributionist radicalism that Hillary can never manage.

Sixth, Warren will get the women's vote without losing so much of the men's vote that Hillary forfeits.

Exactly right. People dismissed Zero, too.

It's hard for us to wrap our minds around the fact that liberals aren't looking for a president, but for a secular messiah. They have an unmet need to worship something or someone.

The irony is that these people are more dogmatic, in the worst sense, than almost any Christian. They are irrational. They shout down contradictory ideas. And when one messiah fails, they simply move on to the next one.

After Obama got elected, its wise to consider any Democratic candidate dangerious. No matter how stupid they are or how far left they swing. The Rats have a powerful machine that can make anything happen either by hook or by crook.

Hillary is firmly in the pocket of the financial sector. Warren wouldn’t stand a chance.

Bingo!

Socialism will really work this time because at last we have the right messiah

Hillary is an unprincipled, ambitious, unscrupulous Yale lawyer.

Fauxahauntus otoh is at Harvard.

I’ve heard about Harvard. Isn’t that the school that planned to host a Satanic Black Mass earlier this year, and would have, had not the group pulled out on it’s own? Yes, yes! that’s Harvard for you.
