Thanks for nothing, Elizabeth Warren: How the Democratic Party’s rock star missed her chance....

12. I think early on she decided to not run

if Hillary or even Joe Biden decided to run.

I agree that she would have made a unifying candidate. But only if Hillary had decided that "elder stateswoman" was going to be her role.

I don't think Elizabeth is "setting up to run in 2020" after Trump defeats Clinton... nobody was predicting a Trump primary victory.

Besides Warren will be 70 in 2020, presidential campaigns are a lot of long hours and being on the move. I'm in my late fifties now and there is NO WAY someone could convince me to do it... I can't imagine having the energy for it in 11 years from now.

I think she won't endorse Hillary until the nomination is completely sown up... because she a) agrees with Sanders on most issues more so than Hillary, and b) she doesn't trust Hillary as evidenced by the interview she gave about the Bankruptcy bill and meeting with FLOTUS Clinton in the 90s to kill it... and then Senator Clinton supporting the same bill later. The interview has been posted to DU a number of times... but basically you can't view that segment and think that she trusts Hillary. And this was a very important issue to Warren.
