Elizabeth Warren, Flash in the Pan or Contender (Democrats, Republicans, conservative)

[carterstamp]

She came in third on a new Quinnipac poll, jut behind Hillary. She evokes passion in the party. Is this a recipe for a potential Presidential run?

Watch your back, Hills.

Why you shouldn

Why you shouldn’t underestimate Elizabeth Warren


When we first put freshman Sen. Elizabeth Warren on our rankings of the 10 Democrats most likely to wind up as the party’s presidential nominee in 2016, many people scoffed.
She just got elected! She’s not interested in running! It’s too damn early! Get off my lawn! (All but that last one is true.)

and if she were to run against Hillary, so much mud would be thrown, from both, the winner would emerge as the loser. There is no way, she is ready to be President, nor could she win in my opinion. The left likes to talk about the candidates on the right, well remember most independents actually describe themselves as being either conservative or leaning that way. They hold the key to the winner and as a group, they would never support someone like her. There is more to winning than being popular in New England.

she struggled to beat brown in probably the most blue state in the US. she has zero national appeal. swing states would swing back the other way, because the woman is a mentally unstable maniac with zero national appeal.

As lionsgator said, she has ZERO national appeal, just about the same as Ted Cruz. Extreme left wing or extreme right wing candidates have no chance in a national election. It takes a semi-moderate message to win but that really puts the Republicans at a disadvantage as someone middle of the road cannot get past the primaries.

She is infinitely better than any Republican, but I don't think she's interested in running. Time will tell though.

I think she'll be a major player in the Senate, but she's never indicated she wants to run beyond that roll.

I see a Clinton/Warren ticket in 2016, setting up Warren for President in 2024.

[John F S]

Gregg - According to the Republicans, Obama is far left.

SJ4 - I doubt that the Democrats would field an all female ticket. Since Clinton is left of center, they would need a moderate, probably, younger male, VP.

[Mr. Joshua]

She had to be dragged into the senatorial race. Maybe she'll be dragged into the race for the White House.

I'll have what you're smoking. I am not sure that ticket would win a single state.
