Here is why I wouldn't want to pressure Elizabeth Warren to run [View all]

Though we all love her very much and would Like to see her become president.. I don't think she herself has had the ambition for long.

she Has pretty well articulated positions on some areas had but typically those wanting to be a president need to have thought through a whole range of issues, including what kind of president they would want to be. Without that she will find that she would be flying by the seat of her pants and be prone to errors and manipulation in areas outside her main interests.


When I read Obama's first book , I got a sneaking suspicion that he wanted to be president way before he was a senator. He wouldnt have become a community organizer instead of raking big bucks as a lawyer had he not wanted to build a constituency. Nothing like this happens in a vacuum or by accident.

So my $0.02 is that we should give Elizabeth warren time and space to nurture her ambition. We all have already planted the seed in her mind. So be patient. She is smart enough to figure it out. And she will let us know when she has.

I am hoping for Elizabeth Warren 2024.
