I'm not for Warren as she is too far out there. Keep your sanctuary cities to yourself; we don't need more. Keep all your radical ideas. The country needs someone who will bring people together and be more moderate. A nice, pleasant person who puts country first, not trivial ideas. Someone who will get behind the important issues like universal health care and guarding our borders. Someone who supports the middle class, not just rust belt or some other segment. We don't need anyone who is polarizing.

I feel the same. She is just the first of many Dems to feel the waters of opportunity. I don't think she can get elected but she might make a good VP candidate.

Yep, really detracts from what could have been an interesting thread. But now it’s evident that it’s only going to be mudslinging.

We have a thread on this in the Elections forum.

This is the problem. Warren has always been a back-bencher. Preach-y, whiny harangues. Sure, the finance industry deserves all the rocks she throws at them but after the current White House, the country needs non-polarizing leadership. Personally, I think the nominee needs to be a governor who has actually needed to lead rather than a minority party 1-term Senator who hasn't.

I think Warren should stay in the Senate as she can wield much more power and get much more done there instead of as President.

Yes she is too far to the left to win the general election IMHO.

The problem is that there are so few people in either political party who are willing to support the middle. It is all about the extremes now.

I think the fact that she just got re-elected in 2018 and is already exploring a presidential run before her new term even begins is sickening.

Referring to her as Pocahontas is not racist.

While I am very liberal and share most of her views, she is to liberal to ever be elected. Think George McGovern.

Come on now. Everyone who voted for her knew she was going to do this. Since 99% of Warren voters would never vote for anyone without a D next to their name, this is what you get.
