Nov 2013

but it would be stupid for her to run in 2016 AFTER being one of the people publicly asking Clinton to run. In addition, what people seem to forget is that even if she were to win, she would need more fellow progressives in Congress in order to be an effective president. A President can't really do much on their own without help in Congress except veto bills that they pass and appoint SC justices. It is why Obama hasn't gotten as much accomplished as we all had hoped.
