Elizabeth Warren launches exploratory committee ahead of likely 2020 presidential run

[Bucky]

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren took a major step toward a presidential run on Monday, announcing in a video message and email to supporters that she is forming an exploratory committee ahead of an expected campaign for the Democratic nomination in 2020

If this nation is stupid enough to elect Trump, Warren is not that far-fetched.

Why would electing Warren be far-fetched? What has she done so wrong as a Senator?

Nothing, but that won't stop the GOP from attacking anything about her. They fear her.

Might have had a chance against Hillary, but not going to stand a chance this time.

Maybe she should run for Prime Minister of Canada if you think she is so good. One of the few people who would insure a Republican victory in 2020.

Character assassination will begin shortly, not that there aren’t already gas stations along that road.

But that’s what happens when you stand up for consumers rather than big business.

Her claim as Native-American isn't an act of her being a Senator, I agree, but every part of her life will be judged for presidential material.

Warren isn't any more Native-American (according to DNA) than every other person in the world.

Nothing really wrong, just polarizing. If we have Warren vs. Trump for 2020 it will be the extremes of both sides pulling the middle one way or another, and identity politics would be on overload.

She has a combination of nationalities in her ancestry. She has been told she is possibly 1/1000th American Indian, but I suspect she refuses to post how much Russian and Kenyan blood, among other ethnic groups she has flowing in her veins.

I voted for Sen Warren in Nov. I will wait until the field opens up some before weighing options. She is not Trump, that is already a plus in her corner. My bet is still on Biden.

There will be a plethora (15-20) of early Democrat candidates.

Who will primary Trump? Any true moderate conservatives remaining out there? Probably John Kasich will run. He's light-years better than D. J. Trumpov.

Well since she didn't ok grabbing women by the ***** or cheated on her spouse with a porn star, she has lost the right "morality" vote.

Which is why the GOP base will utterly reject him. Not enough shared hate and fear over the browning of 'murica.:roll:

Agree, I don't see the native American claim being an issue. Why would it, you have a man who bragged of grabbing women's genitals, pays off porn actresses and the Right Xeroxed free passes.

Attacking her appearance and ancestry are the only things Trump would be capable of.

Don't let her fool you Jet....She takes plenty from industry, and lobbyists....

I wish she were Canadian. You're lucky to have her.

Jesus ****ing christ enough with that stupid ****ing indian bull****! Look who is currently running your country for ****'s sake. Compare the fact that Warren made the "mistake" of believing her parents about her heritage over running a charitable foundation as a slush fund (one of many horrible things that he's done). It's not even comparable.

Look at her record as a Senator. What has she done that is so bad. I'm listening.

Why is she so polarizing?

I am sure they have tried hard (and still trying) to find as much bull**** as they can but I think she's squeaky clean. So I have no doubt **** will be invented.

One thing I want to remind Democrats of. Don't be afraid to run anyone because of what the right will say and do. No matter who runs, they will be smeared as the most liberal socialist / communist candidate in history who will end America as we know it. So we might as well go with whoever we truly think would be best.

Do you really think "the right" would say this about Biden?
