In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: ‘I am not running for president' [View all]JackRiddler

An ABH is guaranteed to arise. Who the hell was De Blasio, four months ago? The revulsion at the continuation of Bloomberg in the form of the faker Quinn was enough that people would coalesce around one of the alternatives.
You're operating on the false assumption that Clinton's name recognition is a good thing. She is known for representing the same old fake, personality-based politics, neoliberal economics and neoconservative foreign policy.
What you should be asking yourself is what in the world motivates you, a democrat I presume, to be helping this terrible politician and contributing to this country's utterly corrupt dynastic politics by propagating the inevitability legend? You really want to see Clinton vs. Bush again?!
