45. Only two people have the integrity and the history to say what Elizabeth Warren suggests will

win. They are Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. No other politician has the integrity it takes to win on those words. And one of the worst in that respect is Hillary Clinton. Bill's and Hillary's connections with Citibank, with Pete Peterson and his crowd, with the Bushes, etc. would make Hillary look disingenuous to the point of being a clown if she tried to say those words. She could not be convincing as a reformer since her husband's administration in her first residence in the White House was key to setting up the degenerate form of capitalism we now have. And her early connection to Walmart does not make the outlook for reform from her better. In the past couple of years I have read that Walmart is still supporting her as a politician. It's disgusting. She would have to lie through her teeth to say what Warren suggests it is time to say.

Here is Walmart supporting the Clinton foundation:

List of Hillary's top donors:

Citigroup Inc $782,327 $774,327 $8,000
Goldman Sachs $711,490 $701,490 $10,000
DLA Piper $628,030 $601,030 $27,000
JPMorgan Chase & Co $620,919 $617,919 $3,000

Elizabeth Warren: I'm not running for president [View all] onehandle Jan 2015 OP

Her eyes say yes. n/t benz380 Jan 2015 #1

I think the real issue is - IMO, of course - people who want Warren to run djean111 Jan 2015 #2

I am a Bernie person, but would go with Liz or Hillary...per my other post here though randys1 Jan 2015 #4

She would be too old in 8 years. Beacool Jan 2015 #7

That is what I thought...I think she makes a big mistake not running, even if she randys1 Jan 2015 #11

I get the feeling that she honestly has no interest in running. Beacool Jan 2015 #13

It takes tremendous fortitude... Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #21

Fortunately, that's not the opinion of the majority of Democrats. Beacool Jan 2015 #28

The majority of Democrats LOL Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #61

Right! The handful of people responding to a DU post are MUCH more representative... brooklynite Jan 2015 #72

Where did that come from? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #74

Just like the Presidential Polls in 2012 mistakenly indicated that Obama would win... brooklynite Jan 2015 #77

What exactly are you espousing? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #81

You're claiming HILLARY doesn't have the fire in the geek tragedy Jan 2015 #104

In other words, Elizabeth Warren is too honest and humble to run. JDPriestly Jan 2015 #52

You expressed very well what I've been feeling. If enough Americans Cal33 Jan 2015 #84

She is HONEST, but what's with the "humble" stuff? MADem Jan 2015 #89

Humble can mean poor. But I meant it to mean a person who has humility. JDPriestly Jan 2015 #93

I don't think she has an excess of humility, frankly. MADem Jan 2015 #96

Compared to Hillary, she is humble. JDPriestly Jan 2015 #99

I don't agree. I think they are both confident women who don't shy away from challenges. MADem Jan 2015 #100

been saying that about her all along... VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #62

She's a FIGHTER!!!!! MADem Jan 2015 #91

not everybody wants to be Pres...obviously she VanillaRhapsody Jan 2015 #59

Would... Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #80

And yet, I think she could win, in 2016. randys1 Jan 2015 #3

Or, she never asked... brooklynite Jan 2015 #19

could Liz get the same amount of money that Hillary could? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #23

Regardless of the source of money, either they can raise enough to win or they cant randys1 Jan 2015 #38

It's about being BEHOLDEN to donors Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #41

i would agree. To be able to win, the candidate almost has to sell out. olddad56 Jan 2015 #42

Why do they need to sell out? Cosmic Kitten Jan 2015 #47

Could that be a reason why she keeps saying she is not running? She could be Cal33 Jan 2015 #86
