In reply to the discussion: Hillary's Nightmare? A Democratic Party That Realizes Its Soul Lies With Elizabeth Warren. [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)68. Correct! And she's not running, either:
BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren supports Hillary for President
ABC News:
All of the female Democratic senators signed a secret letter to Hillary Rodham Clinton early this year encouraging her to run for president in 2016 a letter that includes the signature of Sen. Elizabeth Warren and other senators who are mentioned as potential candidates, two high-ranking Democratic Senate aides told ABC News.
The letter, organized at the urging of Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., was meant to be a private show of support from a group of 16 high-profile former colleagues and fans who are now senators, urging Clinton to do what much of the Democratic Party assumes she will, the aides said.

And...
Elizabeth Warren Not Interested In Running For President
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) insisted in a recent interview with The New York Times that she does not plan to seek the presidency.
"In the interview, Warren, 64, said twice that she had no interest in running for president, a point her aides amplify privately," reported The Times. "But she said she would continue to focus on economic fairness, saying it is the signal issue of the day."

Does anyone think both of these stories are in error?
BTW, Hillary is not my favorite. She has not even announced, and she has not really expressed what she would do, period. In 2008 her campaign was about running against McCain, and seemed to be more interested in foreign affairs than domestic ones. That is what 2014 and 2016 will be about.
But she is not responsible for what Bill did in office, nor Bush. The first three charges most often laid at her feet, NAFTA, Glass Seagall and the Iraq War and a desire for the TPP don't add up, just like a sudden loss of sovereignty doesn't.
Birchers say we lost that when we joined the UN. I would suspect we don't have any JBS Koch fans here, but the meme is endless to frighten people. In a way, we never had control or sovereignty over many things in this nation. But that's for another day.
I'm not sure what the intent of an OP is, that seems to want a battle between two women in the Democratic Party that do not oppose each other. Will Warren be tossed under the bus at DU?
