Elizabeth Warren is readying for a presidential run in 2020, but it might be too late: News analysis
The Oregonian ^ | December 30, 2016 | Douglas Perry

"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)

She’s perpetually angry. I guess that means she’s got the Levin vote.So the plan is to go farther left? If Trump does half of what he has promised it’ll be a moot point anyways.

As Kellyanne Conway said: “That’s a relief- I was afraid they’d learned something from the election”

BTW, just in case, we should get the meme’s going to discredit her early. Can never be too cautious.

“This was her year if there would ever be such a time.”

Agreed. She probably would’ve done far better than either Hillary or Bernie.

What a load of bull crap...’18 & ‘20 are going to be as devastating for the mules as the past few election cycles have been.

No More Academics! We need people in politics who live and work in the real world not the hypothesizing world of academia with all it’s faulty theorizing about real life. Knowledge is education and while day dreaming about theories might be interesting, reality is where the rest of the world lives, works and tries to survive, meanwhile the academic supremacists want to create a global utopia, be it one failed theory after another of socialism, communism, or islamism. Hell No! Time to get REAL. Go Trump!

Nassim Nicholas Taleb appropriately refers to them as IYIs — intellectuals yet idiots.

“The IYI has been wrong, historically, on Stalinism, Maoism, GMOs, Iraq, Libya, Syria, lobotomies, urban planning, low carbohydrate diets, gym machines, behaviorism, transfats, freudianism, portfolio theory, linear regression, Gaussianism, Salafism, dynamic stochastic equilibrium modeling, housing projects, selfish gene, election forecasting models, Bernie Madoff (pre-blowup) and p-values. But he is convinced that his current position is right.”

Mike Pence is 57, she is 67.

He will always be 10 years younger, which will be a huge advantage in 2024.

Trump is good for two terms if he’s does 1/3 of what he says.

Lawyers should be banned from serving in Congress, or the WH. And a permanent ban on lobbying as well.

Put the MFers on a leash with a choke collar.

Oh goody, I hope this dried up old hag runs in 2020, it will be so much fun beating the cr@p out of her. I really hope she resurrects her “Nasty Women Vote”’ speech, that worked out so well for Cankles LMAO!

Warren is uniquely qualified to be Obama’s successor. Like Clinton she has never run anything. Her current job is using her index finger to press yes or no. And she gets to yell at people. She did far more in her old job where she graded papers. Those who can’t do, teach or become politicians.

Warren is too dumb to realize that Trump has ALREADY DESTROYED her campaign, with one word.

“Pocahontas.”

Just what the ‘’young progressives'' will go for. Another post menopausal screaming, rich old white woman(and a liar) to inspire them all.
