hashed out here many times before, but it still leaves gnawing questions.
AND, I know she is revered here, her politics are (now) quite spot on, however, IMO:
1)she is where she can do the most good right now, in the Senate, and
2) like it or not she does NOT have the charisma- in person - to run successfully to win the White House.
Sad to repeat, but it's true.
We like her in Congress, though, let's see what she can do there.
Edit to add: I've no axe to grind. I wish her well in whatever endevor she follows. The fact that her tirades against the entrenched fat -cats get aired can only be good for keeping income inequality in the national discussion.
