US Senator Elizabeth Warren has been a liberal favourite since her election in 2012. An outspoken critic of big business and a proponent of more regulation on the banking industry, the Massachusetts Democrat earlier this month led an effort to stop the $1.1tn government funding bill because it included changes to the 2010 Dodd-Frank law that imposed strict rules on Wall Street.
Now Warren’s liberal supporters are touting her as a viable alternative to former Secretary of State and presumed Democratic frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2016. The left-liberal website MoveOn.org recently launched a campaign to draft Warren into running.
Is Warren the candidate Americans need in 2016? Or is she the candidate Democrats deserve?

Elizabeth Warren isn’t going to run for president. She’s said so repeatedly. And then repeated it some more. America’s going to get a Jeb Bush-vs-Hillary Clinton presidential campaign, and there is nothing that’s going to deter us from our dark and terrible destiny in that regard.
But you can understand why some people would daydream about the possibility.

What a shame if Warren doesn’t jump in. Her candidacy would be glorious to behold as a referendum on “progressive” policies and ideas. If Warren’s one accomplishment was to pull Clinton further to the left, it would be a great service - to the Republican nominee. Run, Liz, run!

America needs Elizabeth Warren as a presidential candidate like Custer needed more Indians.
If America is completely failed, yes. Obama was elected for a cool factor as certain groups saw him. Not left wing ideology. Warren has none of that.
Hillary is a much bigger threat to fool 51% of the people. Conventional thinking in America is that the clinton years were the panacea of wealth building and great employment and they’ll play off as the not Obama or Bush. Warren only has Massachusetts liberalism to run on. And zero charisma.
Today, I wonder why he is still President
A lot of folks think if she gets the Dem nomination she may be a winner.
Compound the influx of millions of 3rd worlders looking for free stuff and ready to vote, she may be a shoe in.
Voters stupid enough to elect Barack Obama twice are stupid enough to elect Lyin' Lizzie Warren or Hillary Clinton.
America needs a fake Indian like America needs another fake president...
A large percentage of the Obama voters would admire her for doing this.
Grandma Warren is sure to energize the base. I’m sure the Black inner city yuts are just itching to go to the polls to vote.
100%
Sure, let’s have a commie white-indian bitch as president. What is the alternative to self destruction?
At least that's where I would put my money right now.
Correction...the inevitable crash and burn would be glorious to behold. Warren has exactly ZERO appeal outside of the Northeast and the DC bubble.
She will be the George McGovern to Ted Cruz’ Richard Nixon.
At least that’s where I would put my money right now.

You are right. But McGovern would win in today’s political culture. Not Nixon.
Dunno...does America ever really NEED a desiccated lefty harpy with a voice like a split clarinet reed?
She is a condescending bitch, to use a phrase from “House.”
I think there is an important difference between her and Obola. Obola knew how to portray himself as a moderate with a mild temperament. Liawatha comes across as a screeching Leftist harpy.
“Where was the barf alert?”
Perhaps the title itself was a self-evident barf alert.
I believe that she is the candidate the Dems need in 2016...
...to put them where they were in December, 1972.
