I think she was able to do this because she was one of the few politicians who had
the courage to point out the depths of corruption and degradation our nation has
fallen into -- and she told the truth in such depth, and with such eloquence! It was
high time that someone in authority did come out with such information for the
American people -- and she was the one who did it, and is continuing to do it. A
large fraction of our entire nation loved her for her daring. She has earned our
admiration and respect

She is 67 years old now. How much time has she left to "leave her options open" to?
At one time we were the most admired country in the world, and deservedly so.
Among other things, we did help so many foreign nations get back on their feet after
World War II. I think both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are trying to bring
our nation back to that state that it once had been.

The job ahead is an incredibly difficult one. I don't expect to see it accomplished
in my life-time.
