She’s said many times that she has no intention of running, going so far as to co-sign a letter beseeching Her Majesty, Queen Hillary, to take her rightful place upon the throne in 2016. But would-be candidates say lots of things early in the cycle. Remember when Obama said, a few months after being elected to the Senate, that he wouldn’t run for president in 2008 because he was a big believer in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job? Two years later, he decided he knew what he was doing after all. And that’s how we ended up with a government that swaps terrorists for accused deserters.
HuffPo’s promoting this clip heavily, even though it may just be that Warren’s tired of answering the question. This part does sound campaign-y, though:
“I do believe in us,” said Warren. “And I believe in us on days like this, on a morning where a whole lot of people come together to talk about ideas, to talk about two books. Because what we’re talking about in here is we’re talking about economics, we’re talking about power, but we’re also talking about values. This is a moment in time for our country and, I believe, for our world, a moment in time where we decide who we are as a people and what kind of a future we’re going to build. As your [Thomas Piketty's] book shows, it’s tough, it is an uphill climb. It will not happen naturally that the world will even back out. But what it also shows is that these are not natural forces that make it happen, it’s a set of rules by which we govern ourselves, and here in America we the people get to decide what the rules are. So I get how hard this is. This is about concentrated money and power on one side, but it’s about our values, our voices and our votes on our side. I believe we can fight back. I believe we can win.”
What she’s really doing here, I think, is preserving a little strategic ambiguity to keep the pressure on Hillary to pander to the left. She’s not going to run and she wouldn’t win if she did, but if she starts speaking campaign-ese, she can make sure that Hillary invests in plenty of income inequality rhetoric next year that the left can hold her to later. It’s already begun, in fact. Warren is a useful threat for progressives even if she’s not much of a threat at all.
Let’s face it: Warren vs. Cruz is the election partisans want, Clinton vs. Bush is the election partisans will get. Alas.
(VIDEO-AT-LINK)
Ooooh boy. Cat fight ahead. Pass the popcorn. Make that the good stuff.
Phew! Hillary and the Indian Princess. Godzilla versus King Kong - and just as attractive.
She has the Indian voted locked down,
except for the Tribes
which her greatgreatGrandfather exterminated.
I’ve said all along Hillary’s big risk is from the left.
If you see Axlegrease and Plouffy jump on Lizzie’s bandwagon, the Clinton Crime Family may well go down again.
what exactly has this woman done in her life that she is on this throne with the left?
Another pathetic Harvard nitwit. Unbelievable. Charitably.
Warren: Me run big chief. Bring very good medicine. Republican white devil speak with forked tongue. Squaw and papoose in very big danger.
Reporter: She is so articulate. Not like that moron Palin.
The similarities to Caliph Baraq are scary....
Lie-A-Watha versus Cruz.
Whadda matchup thats would make.
Pass the popcorn!!!!
And she can win.
“what exactly has this woman done in her life that she is on this throne with the left?”
She went to Harvard Law School. That our society has disassembled to the point at which that is a criterion for leadership, let alone the Presidency, is both scary and pathetic.
Is Fauxcohontas going to run on the platform of returning America to the Native Americans, which by the way still confuses me. Shouldn’t they be referred to as the guys that got here just a little before everyone else? I mean it’s not like gaia popped them out of the ground here, is it?
this is hilarious. I hope Gore and a bunch of their flakes run
She is condescending, out of touch, cold, frumpy, mean, slow on her feet, incoherent, and to top it all of she's from Massachusetts, a place despised by the rest of America with the exception of Rhode Island and New York.
LOL you could have said all that about Baraq, except he was from Kenya instead of Oklahoma.
I’m convinced Axlegrease and Plouffy can get Charles Manson elected POTUS on the Dem ticket if they want to.
And sadly, Cruz is the pretty one in that match up.
According to her, she laid the intellectual foundation of the Occupy Movement, which, as far as I can tell, consists of the fact that businesses use the roads, so they owe their success to the government.
