In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: how Conservatives could make her the next US President [View all]Scuba
(53,475 posts)Yes, she's won some important battles and she's earned street cred with the populace like no candidate I can remember, but then I'm only 65 years old.
As a Presidential candidate she will draw votes from across the spectrum, including from voters who have been taught to hate Hillary Clinton since 1988. I believe that she not only gives us our best chance to hold the Oval Office in 2016, but that her policies will have a positive impact on our nation like no other candidate I've seen.
Yes, she used to be a Republican. So was I at one time. And yes, there's still a few holes in her resume, but those don't bother me nearly as much as the filled-in parts of some other resumes.
Bottom line: The values she's espoused, and the genuine and earnest concern she's shown for the People, trump any other potential candidate that I've heard of.
