41. Too fucking early!!! And it will NOT be Liz Warren.

IMHO, the Democratic Party needs strong liberals in government, like Ted Kennedy, whose seat (do I have to remind people) Elizabeth Warren is filling.

If I thought she ran for Senate just to use it as a skipping stone to a fast White House candidacy, I would never have supported her in the first place.

Those blowing the Warren/2016 trumpet ought to think about that for a minute, or two, or more.

Or maybe they ought to realize that the USA has a presidential election every four years, but the USA, and only the USA has this apparently two year brutal partisan cage match presidential selection process.

Why in the Sam Fuck would any sane human being want to make it a fucking four year campaign?

Fuck all this 2016 talk.

And it is very likely I will not be supporting either Hillary or Elizabeth since it is very likely that neither will be running.

In the meantime, here at DU...
BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!

Sheesh!
