(68,644 posts)...today I was watching the hearings and imagining what Senator Warren would have said back to Rand Paul.
She'd have stopped him in his tracks and launched into a "Senator, let me tell YOU what it means to...." smack-down.
I truly believe this.
Nothing would make me happier than her in the driver's seat.

Apparently I'm the only one who still remembers when Gore was going to be our nominee in 04, and Hillary, well Hillary so obviously had the 08 nomination locked up that no one else even bothered to run. Wait. What's the name of the person who just got sworn in a couple of days ago? It'll come to me.
Really. To everyone who keeps on posting these silly things, think back just a little bit over the last half dozen or so election cycles, and you'll discover that there was no way of guessing three or four years ahead who was actually going to be our next nominee.

(22,000 posts)but it will be neither. If one of them were the nominee I would obviously vote for them. In a primary it would depend on who's running. The last I heard no one has declared yet.

(3,502 posts)Can't say right now. Either Hillary or Joe or someone else. Gotta see who's running and who looks strong in late 2015 to decide. Until Iowa in 2008 I was still deciding who I wanted to support. Biden wasn't getting any traction. I was worried about several things regarding Hillary. Oddly, most of them wouldn't apply this time, but her age, which wasn't an issue then, is something to think about this time as it woujld be with Biden. John Edwards seemed like the demograpically smartest choice, although where I'd liked him fine for VP in '04 he seemed shrill and grating in '08. Turns out that was the least of his problems. Then Iowa happened and the world turned upside down and the impossible turned out to be very possible. I don't see anything like that happening next time around, but you never know.

(35,019 posts)Until late 2015 rolls around, I really don't give a shit. Let President get a start on this term before we worry about 2016. 2016 is a long way away, and a hell of a lot can happen between now and then.
Admins, thank you for "Trash This Thread".

(4,833 posts)that's because I like him a lot, not because of the Benghazi thing.
Realistically, I'd like to see who runs - my answer could possibly change. It's a long time until the campaigning starts in earnest.
