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

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
