"It appears we're going to have an old folks' home."
That's the ever-outspoken Harry Reid, Nevada's retiring senior senator, talking about Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders being the unofficial early front-runners for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
Warren, at 67, is the youngest of the Big Three, and she's the only one who excites both establishment Democrats and progressive activists.
But is the senior senator from Massachusetts game for a presidential run? Some pundits believe she's already positioning herself for it.
Warren, the former guiding light of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, recently announced she's joining the Senate's Armed Services Committee. "As a member of the committee, I will focus on making sure Congress provides effective support and oversight of the Armed Forces, monitors threats to national security, and ensures the responsible use of military force around the globe," she said in a statement.
MSNBC commentator Lawrence O'Donnell, a former legislative aide to the late Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, noted that the Armed Services Committee will nicely fill out Warren's C.V. with needed foreign-policy experience and insisted the move "could be a first step in a presidential campaign."(continued)

Yeah, i think America wants to be nag lectured by this pitiful specimen of a female for two years straight.
Should be a smashing success, Lizzy.
Be sure to shake your hair to show everyone just how angry you are.
F***in’ senators are the most useless, pointless people on earth.
Democrats 2012: We are nominating this black man again and if you are against him, you are a RACIST!
Democrats 2016: We are nominating this woman and if you are against her, you are SEXIST!
That's pretty much all they got.
Will they admit she’s a carpet muncher? Or will it be one of those things that everyone knows, but the media is absolutely forbidden to say?
Ah huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Trump should appoint her head of Indian Affairs.
She got to DC framed as a reformer regarding banking and Wall Street issues. She never followed through. Not only that, but with her rabid support of hillary, she's lost credibility as a reformer.
Why not just the head of handling Clinton affairs, Bill?
Our country has been lessened to mere childish folderol. It is time adults took charge. . .adults who have the common sense to seek God’s guidance FIRST rather than going off half-cocked with senseless and harmful policies, laws, rules, regulations, procedures, appointments, etc., etc., etc.! Let’s pray that President Trump and Mike Pence will place our country in Good Hands. . .God’s Hands!
Yep. Though i think Booker may even be on top.
You are SO right — Squaw Warren is Hillary II — Her Heinous Part Deux!!
politicians. lawyers. academics. media........(where do I stop?)
Jill Stein in 2020? /s
She is 67 right now.
“I suspect Liz had been warned that Hillary wanted no opposition”
Good point. Where were the young ambitious Democrats that could have competed with Hillary in the primaries? Did Hillary or the old guard shut them all up?
RACIST! (2008) RACIST! (2012) SEXIST! (2016)
And if Warren is lesbian, SEXIST HOMOPHOBE! (2020).
If she picks Keith Ellison as her running mate she can then run with all four identity cards, SEXIST HOMOPHOBE RACIST ISLAMOPHOBE!
The perfect Democrat ticket.
Agreed.
Hillary will be 77 (or gone, given her poor health) and Warren will be 75 in 2020. I just don’t see many democrats under the age of 30 identifying with either of them at that point and who would donate to them? It would be like throwing money down a rat hole.
No, they are probably evaluating various possible candidates for their suitability now.
If TrumPence do well this term, dem candidates the next 3 election cycles will be toast.
I think that’s close. The Dems are going to need an African American on the ticket to motivate the Black vote.
Has this self-acclaimed squaw stopping lieing about being one? What a liar and subhuman wastrel. The old non-Indian hag should just lay back with some firewater.
Booker/Warren could fill all the squares.
A Black and a “faux squaw”...another empty suit and another empty pantsuit..
