1. Yep, she is running against talking points which have been said so many times the

Cognitive dissonance has taken away any reasonable chance of truth ever arising from the ashes.

2. Alternatively, we could be running a true progressive with 1/10 the baggage and 10X the ideas.

Do the math.

She has deluded herself into thinking that she can win and that she would be good for America.

There is more than one page on this phenomenon in the DSM-IV

3. I agree with you

but who is going to step up and pay for their campaign?

The Right has a large number of folks willing to pony up tens of millions for their favorite candidates. We on the left don't seem to have an equivalent, and also don't seem to be willing to fund the amounts needed by providing millions of small donations.

Imagine if 10 million people each donated $5 to Warren. Would send a message, no? I won't hold my breath, though.

4. It won't be easy, but Inspiring Ideas > Money.

I think there's a great danger in selecting a well funded D who lacks initiatives that resonate with a broad spectrum of voters of all stripes.

Sincere support for economic reform speaks to everyone but the very rich or very ignorant.

IMO, Hillary has no message that doesn't pretty much speak to the obvious left POV; nothing much for just plain working people.

Warren or Sanders can, I think, pull together more votes on lower funding and put the best R to shame in a fair debate.

Hillary might clinch the nomination but unless she has a heart/soul transplant, I worry about her ability to beat the opposition.
