In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: I'm not running for president [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)And she will run. She is being pushed and shoved.
Listen to her speeches. She takes Hillary on quite directly in all but name.
And, as we have discussed before, I am so totally in sync with her affection for Teddy Roosevelt.I am a big Teddy Roosevelt fan. All but the murdering of innocent animals and his picking a war with the Spanish and then reveling in the blood and gore of it. (Although getting the Spanish out of our hemisphere with their horrible treatment of the indigenous peoples was not a bad idea, but the excessive violence ???? Maybe a matter of the times.)
Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are the only politicians who are running who would be capable of getting rid of at least the worst of the corruption that is dividing and impoverishing our country. And that has to be the most important task of the next president. Yes. The Senate and House and regulatory agencies have to pay a role. But if you read the biography of Teddy Roosevelt you realize that one person truly dedicated to ridding the government of corruption cannot totally achieve that goal but can pick and choose enough people to support him/her to get the job done. Hiring people, exposing people is an executive job. With a strong attorney general, Elizabeth Warren could and would get it done, I am convinced.
Certainly, with Hillary as president, it will be more and even more of the same corporate fun and games and even worse damage to the American economy and the American people.
