New York Times: “Reid brought Elizabeth Warren onto the Democratic Senate leadership team in 2014, and she was one of the people he most trusted to keep the Senate caucus on its bearings through the difficult weather ahead. Shortly before Thanksgiving, he summoned Warren to the minority leader’s office. When she arrived, the room was littered with art supplies; on an easel was a half-finished portrait of Reid that would be unveiled at his retirement party the following month. Its subject was preoccupied with the future of the party to which he had dedicated decades of his life. Reid told Warren she needed to think seriously about running for president in 2020.”

2. she was my dream candiate for 2016

Super progressive, woman, no baggage, anti WallStreet ..she would have won. Can't you see her and Cheeto debate...she wouldn't have smiled, she would have ripped his ugly face off....

3. No, sorry. Time to let younger Democrats run for higher office including POTUS.

4. I think so too. We have 4 years. Groom someone young and relatively new

The people that voted for Trump prefer new comers because they blame the long term politicians for the mess, regardless of party.

5. I agree. Our party seriously need to get younger.

People in their late sixties and above can be advisors, but should not run, they will still have enormous influence on the party.

7. It's not age it's the policy and the issues. If Warren was our candidate in 2016 Stein

wouldn't have broke 2%.

6. Trump vs Sen. Warren 42 percent to 36 percent

Forty-three percent of voters are ready to vote for a nameless Democrat in 2020, while just over a third say they’ll vote for Trump. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) in a hypothetical matchup, 42 percent to 36 percent — a fairly impressive margin for a less-than-popular president against the prominent senator.

If Charlie Baker runs for the senate in 2018 Sen. Warren is toast
