Van Jones: Hillary Is "Blowing" It; Watch Out For Elizabeth Warren

Van Jones: Hillary Is "Blowing" It; Watch Out For Elizabeth Warren

VAN JONES: But, you know, I feel badly because I actually like her a lot. But I think she's blowing it. And I think she's actually emboldening -- if I were Elizabeth Warren or if I were Schweitzer, I would be sharpening my pencils and getting ready to go because I think she comes across badly.

I wonder, and you've been in public life and you know it's tough, I wonder if she tries to come back from some of these injuries, that there's not still a sense of aggrievement there that she sometimes creeps into her comment.

Et tu, Van?

1. She was ok as SoS

But still too much of a war maker. Good thing Obama was more peace minded.

Heck, if Hill had voted NO to invading Iraq, she might have been president. And if she was a better campaigner. She's no Bill.

Anyway, i feel bad for all our people getting their hearts set on Hill-45. They may be setting themselves up for an awful let down when she decides not to run. I guess if we can prime them for that we'd be doing them a favor?
