How could she remain focused solely on the middle class and banks with all the shit exploding around us daily? A President has to focus on the entire US and the World.


I think Warren is perfectly capable of appointing people to carry out her ideas while she focuses on the rest of the World, is all I'm saying.

I understand that she is valuable in the Senate. I also understand that the GOP is pretty much stopping everything they can, in Congress, so maybe a President can do more, who knows? Anyway, it does make me ponder how we are told Warren is just too valuable in Congress, but Obama evidently wasn't missed.

For someone who we are assured, on an hourly basis, it seems like, is certainly not running - the effort is being made to assert that she is too old, the RW smears about being part Indian are being repeated and linked to!, she is too valuable where she is, she may not be able to concentrate on the big picture, she signed a letter, every time she agrees with Hillary or Obama about is noted (by Hillary supporters) - why all the fuss?

I believe Warren supporters are not a personality driven bunch of folks - they love her ideas and want someone LIKE HER to vote for. So - not that you are doing this - demonizing or dismissing her really misses the point, and will not make Hillary any more palatable than she is right now.
