My evidence is all in this thread from the responses from the far right.
Again, I don't see Warren making a run for it in 2016, but 2024, after another 8 years of a Democrat president, I could see her running and winning just as easily as the last two Democrat presidents. Though until then, she will continue to do good work fighting for the consumer and the middle class.
I have a feeling that she would wait it out until 2024 too. She has a lot to do as a Senator now and more people will get to know her. Although, all of her videos go viral now.
i think the logical pick in 2016 if its not hillary is mark warner, senator in virginia.
him being nominated all but locks up virginia for the dems and he is a popular senator who gets republican votes.
have warner run and then you have corey booker or julian castro sitting on the bench for 2024. youll also have warren if you guys want her on the bench as well.
the gop's bench of cruz/rubio/paul only do well with there base and dont win over independents and dems, unlike booker and castro who can win republican and independent votes.

just one problem which was pointed out on another thread: her age. She is already in her 60s. My guess, even if I was a supporter of liberalism, she is not the one to run our country. She is too little, too late.

Your idea of Warren might be a good one, I don't know, but you are way off base if you think the most likely Republicans will not attract a lot of independents. As for Castro and Booker, it is too early to tell. They are new on the scene. I think Castro would need to hold state of national office first. He is more the dream of the left, like Rubio is the dream or the right or was anyway: what is the saying, "the flavor of the month"?
2016 is not going to be an opportune moment for a true-believer progressive from Harvard, with only a partial term in the US Senate as national political experience.
