In reply to the discussion: It's Not Too Early for Me: Hillary for President 2016 [View all]Rowdyboy
(22,057 posts)18. What I admire most about Senator Warren is that she doesn't bullshit or eqivocate...She isn't
a typical politician and that's what makes her special. She doesn't have a coy or calculating bone in her body, unlike most of the other "leaders" in American politics today. I take her at her word on 2016 and anything else she says.
Should circumstances require her to re-evaluate her decision (such as if Clinton chooses not to run) then she'll go to the top of my list. Until then, I look forward to her advocacy for the causes we all support in the senate.
Not saying you shouldn't advocate for her. Maybe I'm wrong and she can be pressured into a run but I would be way beyond shocked. She's not the type to say one thing and then do another.

Since you can't vote in the US, it really doesn't matter who you support in 2016.

It isn't too early for her to "spend time with her family" and "pursue personal interests"

"Trolling" is now defined as "supporting a candidate 17 million Democrats supported in 2008"?
