12. If she has a medical or some devastating political event that causes her NOT to run...
Thu Mar 5, 2015, 01:16 AM
Mar 2015

The Democratic Party will be in some serious hurt.

Biden isn't really taken as serious enough to be President (even though he would probably be really good) he woboy, would get the Gore and Kerry treatment and boy would it ever stick.

Warren says she won't run and I really think she is in the place where she could help Democrats in the best way, that is the Senate.

After these two...the field is up for grabs.

Heaven help us if Hillary doesn't run and they pick a right winger...talk about a cruel summer. Ugh.
