The Huffington Post | By Paige Lavender
Former Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) said he's more "concerned" about a potential presidential run from Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) than former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, according to the Boston Herald.
Warren has insisted she has no plans to run for president, but West said on Boston Herald Radios Trending Now" he thinks she could rally progressives more than Clinton, who has yet to weigh in on her 2016 plans. West also said he thought Democrats "have to" have a woman run for president because "they need the marketing gimmick."
Elizabeth Warren is their darling. Thats who they want, West said. And they have to run another woman because they need the marketing gimmick of the first something. We had the first black president... and now were going to have to have the first woman president.
West said he's not making any 2016 plans as of now, claiming "any person that says 'I'm thinking about running for president' should not be president."
