Elizabeth Warren

Was watching a cable news show last night (forgot which one), and they were talking about Elizabeth Warren possibly making a bid to run in '20. What I want to say is.......please, please news outlets, don't make any such statements! We don't need the word getting out that Warren is thinking of running and then having Fox News now start their smear campaign against Warren for the next 4 years! That is exactly what will happen, and then 4 years from now, all the independents and republicans will have the most horrible opinion of her and would vote for anyone besides her! Hillary was smeared for more than 4 years of course, but that republican smear machine is strong, and having Warren be the subject of it for 4 years, would kill her chances!

and working to take them out.

Important, though, a sizable MAJORITY of voters chose HILLARY in spite of their evilmaking.

And now not only they but more of the 40% of eligible voters who didn't vote will be aware of both the consequences of not voting and the pernicious flood of vicious lies and fake news to be expected from the right.

One thing we need is a widely known site for obtaining names of vetted, honest news sources.
