The dems will pick Hillary and she is far to the right of Obama.
I'd like to see a president Elizabeth Warren.

I doubt you will ever see what you would like to see. She is too the left, the way some of the right wingers are to the right...I don't think she can attract enough support to go anywhere. Of course you probably already know this. Wouldn't it be nice, if we want and what we get is the same...

Warren won't ever run. She's already at the age when 2016 would be her only shot, and she has declared over and over that she wants to stay in the Senate.
I'm sure she will support Clinton very strongly, however, if Hillary decides to run. They are not mutual fans of each other, but their relationship is cordial, even if somewhat remote.

I am sure she would support Hillary, good thing or not: let's face it, most of those who would vote for Hillary don't need Warren's endorsement to make up their minds and Warren supporters certainly would rather vote for Hillary than anyone other than Warren I would guess.

I doubt BC would approve the pipeline. His VP was Al Gore,a staunch defender of the environment.


ACA is straight up fascism. The insurance companies and their stockholders get rich.
You think there was an insurance lobby on the hill....

Now Warren could easily win (see the blue Wall, it would hold for any Democrat as today, the moderate GOP these voters might swing for is not available), but Warren would not roll up the score (EC-wise) while Hillary would run up the score. Running it up means winning just about every swing state, plus the Big EC rich Blue Wall.

Dr. Ben Carson is my main candidate, that is if he decides to run though it certainly looks like he will. My runner up is Ted Cruz.

As a Democrat, I could support either of these two for the Republican ticket. Or even better, put them on the ticket together. The order won't matter in the least. Good luck!

I hope so. It's going to be ridiculously entertaining watching you guys do the mental gymnastics required to support a guy with zero political experience after spending years running down Obama's supposed lack of experience.

I'm stocking up on popcorn, believe me.

We have 2 members of our church, both retired pastors that have Ben Casey for President stickers on their cars. I can't go that far, in fact I really do not thing someone who has never been elected to office of any kind or been an CEO is ready to be Pres of our country.
