Related: About this forumIs Hillary Clinton The President Americans Need At This Time?
Given Hillary Clintons Wall Street baggage, the triangulation used by the Clintons against the GOP in the past may just be used against them in 2016.

(40,416 posts)Oh, and by the way. Elizabeth Warren has repeated stated that she's not interested in national office and desires to serve out her term in the US Senate.
So, if not Hillary Clinton in 2016, we're going to have find somebody else, in 2016.

(509 posts)Unfortunately I think it is impossible for a candidate to even get the Dem nomination without the backing of the writers of the TPP. Look what happened on the Repub side with Ron Paul at their convention. Same thing will happen on the Dem side if we pick a "radical" candidate.

(1,508 posts)It doesn't mean Clinton would be good for us though. She's just one of the few nails left to bang into the coffin of what was once a great nation.

(43,867 posts)Elizabeth Warren isn't running. I get why people persist with this fantasy, but it's nothing more than a fantasy. Warren had to be dragged in kicking and screaming into the Massachusetts Senate race, a geographically small state in which she could sleep in her own bed every night. If you barely have the fire to run for Senate, then you absolutely don't have the fire to mount a brutal presidential campaign. And even if she did, all she'd have to do is look at the polling (73-9!) to realize she'd have a million better things to do with her time and her donors' money. SHE. AIN'T. RUNNING. ~KOS
