15. Elizabeth Warren is correct

Elizabeth Warren made the correct decision to not run.

My initial reaction was that it had to do with the reality of what it is like to serve as president of the United States.

I think what it actually is an awareness for how corrupt and disgusting the Democratic Party—fully on display here in 2016 with their collusion with Hillary Clinton—and that Warren knew to say “no.”

It is no longer that desirable to be president of the United States. The country hasn’t had a great, important, non-destructive commander in chief since Franklin Roosevelt.

Many in the Democratic Party want the next version of FDR. But, with the current players behind the scenes—that stench of Al From, Bill Clinton, and everyone who aided in having transformed the party from New Deal to New Democrat (or, as Bill Maher stated, The New Republicans)—it will take a good while longer given the overdue exits of such parasites would be necessary.
