A Signal of Distaste For Dynasties Bodes Ill For Bush, Clinton
By Dan Balz January 10
AURORA, Colo. Its been a good few weeks for Jeb Bush, who has been setting the pace among prospective 2016 presidential candidates at least in the view of some in the elite world of political donors, strategists and commentators. But even before the news that Mitt Romney is thinking about a third campaign, a dissenting view on Bush was registered here Thursday night.
A dozen Denver-area residents spent two hours dissecting the state of the country and its politics. The 12 participants Democrats, Republicans and independents are weary of political dynasties. They were dismissive, sometimes harshly, in their assessments of Bush, the former Florida governor. They were also chilly toward former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton.
When the name of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was introduced into the conversation, however, many of those around the table, regardless of party affiliation, responded positively. To this group, who spoke in stark terms throughout the evening about the economic challenges of working Americans, Warren has struck a chord.

For us middle-class retirees, it couldn't be any worse. Whether the policies are or are not what created the bubble isn't the issue. The issue is that no one on the Republican side is taking ownership of the issue.
90’s rejects.
“When the name of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was introduced into the conversation, however, many of those around the table, regardless of party affiliation, responded positively.”
I stopped reading there. Elizabeth Warren is the political equivalent of a hothouse flower. Fine and pretty in the hothouse, but withered and dying in the real world.
‘Many’ = 4 of 12, three Rats and one Indy. I’m guessing the name Cruz wasn’t brought up.
There is a distaste for dynasties except when the name “Kennedy” is involved.
Hitlary, Warren, Rohmney or Bush, none of them deserve to be POTUS. The media is pushing those fools with the hope of an eventual showdown between one from the left and one from the right. Losers all of them.
We all know there are many well qualified potential candidates who could easily defeat any of those from either side and it is time for the American people to pick who will be their president, not the media.
She is simply an unlikeable, shrill, shallow thinking, failure at all she tries to do. Even she can't name successful things she has done.
I personally am VERY positive about running Sen. Elizabeth Warren for President.
It would be historic.
Well .. where would you get that kind of money .. to BUY VOTES. And .. even if you could .. that’s “bribery” .. and I don’t think you’d last very long trying to peddle that.
