26. It's possible. She is like the best of Bernie and Hillary all rolled up into one person.

She has the progressive base behind her right now as she is known as someone who stands up to the power brokers and bankers and after the MSM drew a HUGE amount of attention to Sanders questioning if Beto was liberal enough, a lot of progressives got nervous about Beto. I am guessing Sanders may have done that for Warren's benefit because they are friends and I am thinking he isn't planning on running. She also has the name recognition as being established, experienced, capable and qualified. Last but not least, I think people trust her and she isn't flashy which could be a benefit this cycle. She may be the perfect contrast to Trump as people often go the complete opposite direction of a failed President.
