Elizabeth Warren isn't running for president, and that's a good thing

[MohRokTah]

25. Did you read Markos' diary?

1. She's not narcissistic enough to run

Do you realize what kind of ego you need to think that you're the best person to run the free world? I know Warren well. In fact, she's one of only a handful of politicians I actually consider a genuine friend. And no, she doesn't have that kind of ego. The most we had was her desire to create and run the Consumer Protection Finance Bureau.

2. We had to drag her kicking and screaming into the Senate race

Running for president isn't easy. It's a massive undertaking, with a massive emotional and physical toll. She ran for Senate in a small state ("Not small, compact and efficient!" she once told me), where she could sleep in her bed every night. Some people are cut out for campaign life on the road. Warren isn't.

Markos knows her and considers her a friend. She just isn't egotistical enough to actually want the job.
