In reply to the discussion: Many Democrats prefer Clinton over Warren for president because the Clinton name is already [View all]cascadiance
(19,537 posts)140. And for those in Massachusetts worried about losing another senator...
... what better state to help another great progressive politician get a good start where they can make a difference?!
We need a lot more like Ms. Warren in our congress that we can look to as leaders in the coming generations. We need a progressive president and need to add ANOTHER good progressive in the Senate. Don't fear losing Warren. Find another that can fill her shoes so that she feels comfortable leaving her mission to that person to start a bigger and very necessary mission of leading this country that sorely needs someone like her leading it.
