In reply to the discussion: Elizabeth Warren: I'm not running for president [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)She was too honest and humble to go to a big-name school when she started college. Instead she went to a community college that charged only $50 per semester.
She was too honest and humble to run for the Senate until she was quite mature and had taught law for many years, finally at Harvard.
She will run. Because the clamor for her candidacy will become so loud that she has no choice. She is the voice of the people for 2016. Many of us will help her and get her to run. She already has major political groups supporting her and trying to persuade her to run.
The article quoted in the OP is yet another very clear statement of her views on what America is about and the kinds of reform we need. Conservatives, liberals and progressives all will line up behind her ideas. I think there will be an enormous wave of pressure placed upon her to run and that she will make an excellent, honest, although not perfect since no one is perfect, president.
I think she will follow the Teddy Roosevelt model and get a big broom to clean out Washington, D.C. Did you see her speech to the AFL-CIO conference on wages recently? That is a stump speech if I ever heard one.
I've been listening to and watching politics since I was nine. That's 62 years. Elizabeth Warren is very likely to run. She may not realize it yet, but she already is.
