Elizabeth Warren: ‘I Am Not Running For President’
The Daily Caller ^ | December 15, 2014 | Al Weaver

Posted on 12/15/2014 8:56:47 AM PST by Bettyprob

Following her much-publicized opposition to the omnibus spending bill last week, Sen. Elizabeth Warren tried to dampen any talk about her running for president in 2016 and challenging presumptive Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

In an interview with NPR’s Steve Inskeep Monday morning, Warren said on three separate occasions she will not be running to occupy the White House in 2016. Rather, the newest member of Senate leadership said her focus is fighting for “hard working families who just want a fighting chance.”

“Would you tell these independent groups, ‘Give it up!,’ you’re just never going to run,” asked NPR’s Inskeep.

“I told them, I’m not running for president,” Warren responded.

She’s just waiting for Valerie Jarrett to tell her she’s running.

She’s a millionaire, who would not give up her paycheck to help the poor, but she wants you to give up your money to help the poor. Amazing what hypocrites these people are, and even more amazing how stupid people are to follow them

Whatever. Obama said the same thing in 2006. The left lie … a lot.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

“I told them, I’m not running for president,” Warren responded.

Limited to present tense. Crockajawea is a lawyer after all.

Hard to see how Warren wouldn’t be, by most standards, wealthy, according to the Personal Financial Disclosure form she filed to run for Senate shows that she’s worth as much as $14.5 million.

Another theory: she is quite sharp, remembers what happened to McGovern, and would rather be a senator than a humiliated Democratic presidential candidate.

Parsed words, in the present tense. The correct question should be “Are you planning to run, or do you anticipate running in the future?”

If Warren runs, all the GOP has to do is slate a decent candidate against her.

I think that after 8 years of Obama, voters are ready for a change (just like after 8 years of Bush). The only hope the Democrats have are: (a) a centrist candidate, or at least one that pretends to be, or (b) a really bad Republican candidate.

The last unabashedly liberal candidate to run for President was George McGovern. He got creamed, by Nixon. Every subsequent Democrat candidate tried to run as a centrist. They weren't, for the most part. But, they managed to pull the wool over voter's eyes.

Warren can't do that. Unlike Obama, who avoided taking positions on anything, Warren has loudly proclaimed her progressive credentials.

And that is why she is a hypocrite. She has her money invested on Wall Street, the very entity she proclaims she wants to dismantle. She won’t and she’ll continue to make money from Wall Street. What she really wants is “income equality” where the poor wages rise to the level if 25. per hour and the middle class wages lower from 45.00 to 25.. per hour. That’s her real goal

"“I told them, I’m not running for president,” Warren responded."

Like every progressive democrat communist rino, lying is her primary nature, in her case as in the rest of them there is overwhelming evidence.
