Warren is grandstanding, her Senate seat is up for grabs in 2018.

The nasty women would never win a national election.

Yup,she's in a dogfight in 2018 just to keep her seat.

The DNC will go down with this ship.

She and Cory Booker are in a competition to see who can be the lamest DNC pre-approved candidate... unfortunately both effed up and are now stuck... Warren is going to get her walking papers in a couple of years...

The other thing is that though her beginnings were humble she does not relate to the average person very well. She comes across as talking down to people rather than talking with people. She is not a natural people person which was also a big part of Hillary's problem.
Very good point. The presidential candidate who has been a better people person has won every presidential election since 1980 (I'd say H.W. Bush and Dukakis was a tie) and arguably since 1960 (not sure about Nixon's victories and Carter-Ford). The public prefers people who they can imagine themselves having a beer with and unfortunately that rules out a lot of smart and talented people.

I think the people who say her Senate seat is in jeopardy are crazy though. Hillary won Mass by 27 points and any GOP candidate will be tied to Trump.

I'm not part of that demographic, but I agree with you. I disagree with him on many things, but with his likability....I don't think even his 'handsiness'/overly touchy (literally touchy) nature would have been enough of a liability.

Then she can work on her Presidential campaign and campaign as a diversity hire....a transgender, disabled, Native American, Black, Lesbian who can't decide which bathroom to use (perfect Democrat).

I am fine with Warren as one of many senators counterbalancing the interests of corporate America and the right. I however do not see her as being suited to be President.
