Elizabeth Warren: I hope Hillary Clinton runs for president

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she hopes Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for president in 2016 — the latest in a series of declarations of support by the Massachusetts Democrat, who some have speculated could seek the Oval Office herself.

"All all of the women — Democratic women I should say — of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.

Isn't it a bit early to accuse anyone of "laziness" in regard to the 2016 election? scarletwoman May 2014 #17

No, considering I reached out to Brian Schweitzer in 2012...and to "Ready for Hillary" in 2013 brooklynite May 2014 #24

It's entertaining and strange MannyGoldstein May 2014 #28

apparently SHE needs you to really really know she is not going to run VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #35

There are quite a few people who are not going to believe her. bravenak May 2014 #3

But it's pretty cool that after only a year in office, so many are asking the question MannyGoldstein May 2014 #29

I'm voting for whomever you guys pick in the primary. I never can decide. bravenak May 2014 #31

So you too join the camp that doesn't think Elizabeth Warren is any more honest than Hillary... VanillaRhapsody May 2014 #37

I feel like the objective of the many posts informing EW supporters that EW says she is not running djean111 May 2014 #63

I would really like to see EW run. NCTraveler May 2014 #65

Amazing how many so-called Democrats are desperate for her not to run. Scuba May 2014 #67

I don't think she wants to run. Campaigns can be brutal and she probably doesn't want it. hrmjustin May 2014 #80

You seem obsessed with this. Why? nt LWolf May 2014 #83

It's a very familiar political tradition Armstead May 2014 #95

Except when you publicly support someone else.... brooklynite May 2014 #96

Maybe she isn't, dunno....I'm just saying this premature reading of tea leaves is kinda silly Armstead May 2014 #97

It's not, from my point of view... brooklynite May 2014 #99

Theres always a bandwagon going on Armstead May 2014 #100

The problem is that they're "not" grasping... brooklynite May 2014 #102

People HAVE been trying to convince her to run. Please don't claim people are not trying. Armstead May 2014 #103

Show me where I'm wrong... brooklynite May 2014 #104
