Will Elizabeth Warren run in 2016?
She says not. But her fellow progressives seem to ♥ Warren even more than they ♥ Hillary.
Take a look a this speech of Warren’s to see how it goes.
One thing I had not realized before, but which Dan McLaughlin at Red State pointed out: Warren is roughly a contemporary of Hillary Clinton’s, which means that if she waits till 2020 to run she’ll be over 70 years old at the time. So 2016 may be her last chance.
My prediction is that she will be the VP candidate for HRC. Just wait to see the press swoon over that pair, it will be nauseating. The duo will be untouchable and all criticism will be regarded as treason against the state, or at least the MSM.
Do you know of anyotential Democratic candidates who have any executive experience? These two sure don’t.
What a wonderful world. (Could you write a song on that theme?)
Elizabeth Warren has gone from an object of ridicule to the Darling of the Left in short order.
I now read that she is a brilliant former Harvard Law professor; and yet, not so long ago she just sounded nutty. What a metamorphosis.
If she runs, it should be an interesting campaign.
How about Pocahontas Warren vs Jindal. They could debate the question of who is the real Indian? Crowley would probably declare for Warren.
Yes, Hillary + Warren is a real possibility. Anyone who doesn’t vote for the FIRST ALL FEMALE ticket is obviously a sexist. Warren appears to have aged much better than Hillary too and she’s as radical as Obama. What’s not to like?
Oye.
Put Ben Carson and Condi Rice against them and see who comes out smelling smart and smelling of freedom. Carson executive experience? Being a surgeon is being an executive-and-a-technician all in one. Condi experience? Multi-layered. Or put up Rice and Jindal. Jindal and Walker. Walker and Condi. Lots of folks from which to pick.
Experienced Dems? They’d say that NY governor has exec experience. Oh how about that San Antonia Mayor? That’s an executive job – Si? And of course there is the formidable and immortal Jerry Brown you could put in there. How about Brown-Warren.
It doesn’t matter what their experience is, when they refuse to fight the Left.
The blogger ‘Bookworm” is a lawyer and had Fauxahontas as a law school instructor. This was years ago but her opinion of Sen Warren is truly caustic!
I think outside of the Massachusetts bubble she would play horribly. She is not very sharp and is as shrill and politically inexperienced as Hillary. But to the Progressives she says the right things. The progressive boomlet is done and I think so is Hillary
Me wantum Squaw Warren to make Hillary’s squalid-pathetic life miserable. This Gooood.
Me like Hillary miserable and tense. How.
Well, her theme music (Indian Reservation [aka – Cherokee People]) would be an improvement over most political music.
Why ten talking points? Why not distill them down to one bumper-sticker: “You have, I want. Gimme”
She looks like a female version of Harry Reid, and reminds me , somehow, of a wet mop. I just don’t get the appeal.
” I just don’t get the appeal.”
“You have, I want. Gimme”
I don’t see minority voters getting excited to go vote for an old white woman.
The thought of a Hillary!/Warren team-up crossed my mind, but as neo-neocon noticed, they’re both past their prime. This is the last chance for both of them (that it is Warren’s first chance doesn’t matter).
There is a real schism in the Democratic party between the true believers (Warren) and the crafty realists (Hillary!). They truly don’t care for each other.
I doubt there can be an alliance, since it would necessitate one of them playing second-string. Their egos and sense of mission won’t allow either to pass up the last chance.
If Hillary/Warren run and win in 2016, it may be the last of the United States as a potential leader of the Free World. If either of these leftists are in power, we may not be in the Free World anymore and finishing off our decline in world influence and leadership.
It’s funny that Hillary just looks old and tired, she’s definitely showing her mileage.
Meanwhile, Liz Warren looks much better (she’s got that hip professorial thing going on), but when she rails she sounds old – like an angry, sometimes incoherent person railing about a long-past hurt to no one in particular. At least that’s the impression I got from Lizzie’s “You didn’t build that!” rant, which was my first glimpse at her radical nature.
So now it’s Jerry Brown into the mix.
I suspect that Brown could push Hillary to the curb.
She’s THAT bad of a speaker.
I can’t see Warren as anything more than V-P material.
As V-P she’d make the 45th President bullet proof: even an insane man would never dare make her president.
This trend, of putting totally unqualified personalities in the V-P slot, is now part of the American political landscape.
Brown will be the nominee, if he wants it. They want a woman president, but like many of their wants, given an opportunity, they balk. They are far more sexist than I ever dreamed. Actually, I am not, just a label through transference.
I’ve been reading Kurt Schlicter’s “Conservative Insurgency”, which is a fictional account of the ascendance of conservative politics written in the year 2041. While I think some elements of the book are overly optimistic, he does paint a very believable picture of national politics over the next couple decades.
He does have Hillary Clinton serve two terms as President, which paves a clear path for conservatives to start winning in politics and the culture. I think he’s got a point. I don’t think the pain will be high enough in 2016 for the average LIV to realize “progressivism” is doomed to fail. There’s a perennial 40% of people that are either too brainwashed or too stupid to understand that the Marxist/socialist ideas of Obama and company are the worst inventions in all of history.
The real question is not whether Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren or whoever is the Democrat candidate, but whether the Republicans can find a candidate with some actual fire in his belly. I like Mitt Romney for the most part, but he doesn’t have that fire.
We need someone with the brains of Alan Keyes, the experience of Mitt Romney, the plain-spoken common sense of Thomas Sowell, the character of Allen West, and the charisma of, um, I was really trying to think of someone other than Reagan, but “charismatic Republican” is almost an oxymoron these days. Rick Perry’s got some. Newt does too. But no one I can think of is a truly inspiring person.
will she run in 2016?
i guess that depends on whether they storm the castle, and frankenstein must flee thet townspeople…
Sarah Palin. She inspires both the misogynist progressive left and the patriotic Conservative right. Both for different reasons, of course, but she does inspire.
Given the current state of the Republican party, the Democratic nomination is worth having, which means it will be contested. And the fact is that if Hill were a strong candidate, she would have won in 2008.
The Democrats will be looking fore someone who can be the center of a cult of personality. That’s not Hill, in part because we know too much about her. Hilary will never be forgiven for voting for the war, and she is too closely associated with Obama, who has proved to be a disappointment. The fact that Hilary’s book cratered is a good indication that she’s finished.
As a Senator, Warren doesn’t have a record as an executive that can be closely examined. Jerry Brown and Andrew Cuomo (Who would love to run, I think), both do. Of all of the potential crop of Democratic nominees, Warren would be the easiest pig to put lipstick on. Don’t underestimate that advantage.
All the inspiring candidates, Americans rejected. They no longer deserve worthy leaders.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a list like this.
Re: the earlier comment saying Granny Warren should have a song. Well, as Greg Guttfeld said, “you will vomit through your ears” after listening to this, entitled “Run Liz, Run!”
