Republicans Don't Believe Elizabeth Warren's Not Running For President

DANIEL STRAUSS – APRIL 22, 2014, 11:01 AM EDT

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) has a new book out, but she has said in multiple interviews that it's not a precursor to a 2016 presidential run. The Republican National Committee doesn't believe her.

In a statement the RNC said that Warren's new memoir is a "step closer" to her "running for higher office."

"Elizabeth Warren can continue toying with the Democrat base claiming she ‘isn’t running,’ but we’ll see what happens when the calls get louder after liberal activists realize President Obama’s former Secretary of State is more of a blast from the past than the wave of the future." RNC spokesman Jahan Wilcox said in a statement.

Warren has been making the rounds on television news shows to highlight her new book, A Fighting Chance. Throughout those appearances and interviews though she has stressed that the memoir isn't meant to signal she's planning to run for president in 2016. "You can ask this a lot of different ways. The key is, I am not running for president," Warren insisted in an interview with reporters.

They don't believe in climate change,a lot them don't believe in sharing anything but trouble.They don't seem to believe in Darwins theory of evolution.. But they do seem to believe their own lies.

very little of what they believe or don't believe makes any sense.

It's why I watch Morning Joe. I always get the newest GOP talking point right out of his mouth. He certainly obeys orders.

That "The People" might have something to do with the decision.

I don't like presumption.

...because they're too lazy to do anything, other than write a blog post that they think she'll decide to run in the future.

Relax!

Go over the bridge and walk around the Village. Hang out in Washington Square Park, it rocks. I love the guy with the baby grand piano, what a scream. So wonderful this time of year.

I wonder sometimes if they are just jealous that we have good and decent people like Senator Warren and in their party they have........Senators Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, and Rick Santorum?
