From the linked article:
Warren was also transparently, annoyingly, evasive on the issue of her presidential ambitions. She declared, I am not running for president in 2020. An entirely meaningless statement. She could announce her candidacy at any time in the future without contradicting todays statement. I wish Roberts had followed up: does that mean you will not run under any circumstances?
Warren also rolled out the typical politicians spiel about focusing on her 2018 race, mentioning the incredible privilege of serving the people of Massachusetts. Would it kill her to be honest, and say something like: sure, Im thinking about it, but its still a ways off.
Out of all the enemedia headines I’ve seen on the prez plans story, only McPaper’s hedged it bets. All the other headlines stated categorically that she ain’t running. And most consumers consume the headline and maybe 1 ot 2 paragraphs in.
I think a variety of interests are trying to send Lieawatha a message. Be interesting to see which win/s out.
