She can't win PAProgressive28 Dec 2014 #1

There are always obstacles in any campaign... certainly Obama had many... but he won. AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #3

Me too. pangaia Dec 2014 #93

She doesn't have to win, just run. Just to the primary debates. She can't make it, but I'm sick of genwah Dec 2014 #9

She is a fighter. Just listen to her excellent speeches. The woman is not afraid to put the gloves AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #20

Please don't tell me that her speech is void of real meaning, spirit and a warrior spirit. AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #47

She can't win because she isn't running, and though there are many who believe she is speaking in still_one Dec 2014 #54

You may have forgotten that many politicians say "no" but end up running. AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #55

I just don't think Warren plays the political games of other politicians. Same with Sanders. We still_one Dec 2014 #103

I'm with you. BlueMTexpat Dec 2014 #124

I guess politics is different; but, .... 1StrongBlackMan Dec 2014 #99

Today I was told on DU that Warren is the ONLY Democrat standing up to Wall St when in fact Bluenorthwest Dec 2014 #14

She is a more effective speaker than some of the others. She knows the banking and JDPriestly Dec 2014 #76

Bernie is great. We shall see who runs. Bernie and/or Warren? JDPriestly Dec 2014 #77

You still haven't said what you mean by "this". You say you are "less supportive because of 'this'" AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #10

Jeb you say? He'd make it even more ironic, but any Republican nominee will share with Warren Bluenorthwest Dec 2014 #18

Your comparison is narrow. She is not the evil member of any dynasty as is Jeb Bush AikidoSoul Dec 2014 #40

I think Jeb has the best chance of winning..... bobGandolf Dec 2014 #92

Wow. She was Republican until 1994?! SunSeeker Dec 2014 #74

Do you have reading comprehension problems? Mnpaul Dec 2014 #86

So you think its OK that AFTER Reagan destroyed unions she joined the GOP? SunSeeker Dec 2014 #135
