Should Elizabeth Warren Run? A Debate With Myself

Scene: A warm beach in the Caribbean (because as long as I'm setting a scene...), March of 2015

Two women, both, curiously, named "Sally Kohn," recline and sip their drinks at they stare at the blue-green water, occasionally checking their addictive mobile devices for new emails, conversing about the third season of "House of Cards" and the political mess in Washington. They're both bold progressives and Democrats more by default than enthusiasm.

The two Sallys are debating whether Sen. Elizabeth Warren should respond to the calls from the Boston Globe and others for her to enter the 2016 race, challenging likely frontrunner Hillary Clinton.

Sally "Idealistic" Kohn desperately and impatiently wants the world to be a fairer and more just place and thinks progress toward that goal could immeasurably be helped by a bold leader articulating and pushing for big ideas at the top of the national and global political hierarchy. This Sally is wearing a skimpy bikini.

Yes she should - straight to the Reservation.

"Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre / mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
"Thought must be the harder, heart be the keener, mind must be the greater, as our might lessens."

[EQAndyBuzz]

Yes she should run.

I’m encouraging the left on twitter to #DraftGrayson.

[mkmensinger]

I’m hoping they run Warren and Bernie Sanders.

I think Warren's biggest electoral vulnerability is her own damning words, in which she publicly claims to have created the looney, juvenile, business destroying, socially disruptive, disease-laded, out of control, intellectually bankrupt, philosophically incoherent, America-hating, unsanitary, disgusting, left-wing extremist temper-tantrum movement Occupy Wall Street:

“I created much of the intellectual foundation for what they do,” she says. “I support what they do.”

Conservatives need to endlessly tie her to Occupy Wall Street, recapping the horrific images of its appalling behavior:

Yes, I would like to see the pinched-face scold run. It would be fun to watch.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Run Fauxahontas!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

She run like wind! She no give half-white man Cruz run for money with white faces!

[nascarnation]

Good luck with that.

By the time the Journ-0-lists are done, she’ll be America’s Fightin’ Granny, taking on Wall $treet and Big Banks to save the middle class.

[Michael.SF.]

I do hope she does run.

Hillary cannot be stopped by anyone but Hillary.

Fake-a-hontas will be revealed (to all) for the OWS wealth redistribution queen that she is.

[Iron Munro]

Yes, of course she should run.

It's past the time when we should have an Indian maiden as president.

Even a fake one will do.

[dead]

Ponder the predicament the Dems are in. An EXTREMELY damaged (and not much beloved to the left) Hillary has to run or they have to go to the shortest and most incompetent bench in history.

[Iron Munro]

Superb graphic!

[Lurkinanloomin]

Anybody but Hillary/Jeb or Jeb/Hillary

[BenLurkin]

The two Sallys

No doubt.

[golux]

Fool!

White Man Speaks with forked tongue.

These questions

Only Elizabeth can decide

alone



With her spirit totem.

[elcid1970]

Just imagine Crockajawea in a debate with Ted Cruz.

He’d just smile at her & then she’d wag her scolding finger at him until it fell off.

Warren-Sanders in 2016! Run, Liz, run!

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don’t see what it could hurt. Native Americans of color are good runners.

[ExCTCitizen]

Yes, she should...the Boston Marathon. Then she can run to be president of the Massachusetts Band of Cherokee Wanna Bes...(number of people in tribe 1).

She should... Hillary could paint her as a nut and a liar...She could paint Hillary as a conservative and a nut.
