I would prefer Warren politically but Hillary will be the most formidable candidate and, after all, beating the Republican Machine is the most important thing.
Are you talking about primaries? If this is a general race hypothetical, than what a hideous choice. They're both way too divisive to be president and represent our nation. That said, if I had to choose I'd hold my nose and vote for Clinton.
Is Cuomo no longer a name being thrown out there for the 2016 Democratic primaries?

Clinton... even though she cowardly labeled her self a Progressive.
I'm seeing much in the way of derogatory implications directed at the word progressive, seems to me the definition of Progressive is a good thing Or is there another definition i'm not seeing in my dictionary?..
Quote:
progressive
1. favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are, especially in political matters: a progressive mayor.
2. making progress toward better conditions; employing or advocating more enlightened or liberal ideas, new or experimental methods, etc.: a progressive community.
3. characterized by such progress, or by continuous improvement.
4. ( initial capital letter ) of or pertaining to any of the Progressive parties in politics.
5. going forward or onward; passing successively from one member of a series to the next; proceeding step by step.
Sickofnyc: That's a joke, right? Warren is pretty far left relative to Democrats like Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, two Democrats who I'd call generally center-left.
Divisive doesn't mean you're out actively looking for trouble, like Cruz. It just means a lot of people disagree with you. The farther you fall on either side of the political spectrum, the more divisive you are - by definition (of course there are a ton of additional factors that can also make a person divisive).

The right has gone so far to the right that even right wing idol Reagan would be far too Liberal for them, so by those standards ANYONE and EVERYONE is divisive.

A "progressive" are those [sic] who focus on using government power to make large institutions play by a set of rules.

Well, yeah. Every politician is divisive to a degree. The issue is just how divisive you are. I don't think Warren would fare well to get the majority of independents' votes. If she were to somehow, someway be the Democratic nominee (which she won't be because I don't think she's even interested in the position), it'd make the 2016 race much more of a nail-biter than if Clinton was the nominee.
Hillary Clinton. Excellent experience, and I like her temperment for the job.
