The Democratic field in 2016 has more than enough room for two women competing to be the nation’s first female president, according to liberal activists.
They pour scorn on the notion that Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), or any other woman, ought to step aside if former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton launches a second quest for the White House.
"The idea that you can't run because there's somebody else who looks like you running? Oh my God, what would all the white men do?" quipped Terry O'Neill, president of the National Organization for Women (NOW).
"I think the argument that two women shouldn't compete in a primary is insulting to voters — both women and men," said Robert Borosage, the director and co-founder of the progressive Campaign For America's Future. "This isn't a gender contest. This is a race to determine the best leader for our country. Anyone making that argument in public would be hooted off the stage."
A former senior Democratic staffer who supports Clinton also decried the notion. "I'm sick of the political boys’ club," said the former staffer, who is female. "We always have several men running at the same time. The more women who run for public office, the better. I want nothing more than to have Hillary as the first female president ... [but] people don't become president because they deserve it — who becomes president is up to the voters."
Representatives for Clinton and Warren did not respond to requests for comment.

If they run these two, and if we run someone, anyone, who is worth voting for, we’ll win in a landslide.
If we run an open-borders guy, though, these two will probably be our next presidents. If we do squeak out a victory for our open-borders Republican president, then the same damage will be done with a GOP logo.
Left and lefter.
very....
Let the dykes battle it out
They don’t care. The DNC knows that the ‘Rat voters will ALWAYS pull their finger.
I would use the term “Dims”.
Hillary has her rails and she runs on them. She picked a Marxist to be her VP in 2008, Obama, and he betrayed her. She doesn’t have another plan. So now, Fauxahontas is to be the new Obama - pretend to run, lose to Hillary, then be her VP.
Except were talking about Hillary, so she’ll screw it up again. And we’re talking about Democrats, so they’ll use their same plan again, which means they’re gong to run Fauxahontas as the Rat nominee in 2016.
Sure. Martha Coakley, too. Why not?
It’s a heavyweight fight and what a fight!

RE: Clinton staggers Warren with a big left hand followed by a sneak right cross! Nobody saw that one coming!
Fauxcahontas gets tired of this and finally uses her tomahawk to her advantage. She finally gets her scalp ( with the help of the leftists in the party who believe she’s the real deal ).
That's what we all said when Rush was pushing Operation Chaos in 2008.
If only she had won, and if only we had run someone worth voting for.
Two pathological liars facing off. Should be...Boring.
The fake Marxist American Indian versus the Marxist Lesbian. Really? Is this the best they can do?
Yes. This is your rat party. All rats should slither away in shame. Oh, but they have no shame.
