7. I think many in the established, political elite, will try to find a way to stop her

She is a big threat to established norms of back scratching between banks, politicians, and major corporations. Especially those in the oil and gas sector, the pharmaceutical industries, and private medical insurers. She is Bernie with lipstick, and a less caustic personality, and a greater oratory skill beyond one liners. They will not let her win. But I hope they fail at that.

There's enough time for anything to happen. Some "dirt" they can exploit at the right time, and use their friends in the MSM news media to harp on it as much as Hillary's emails. But probably they won't go full def con 5 unless it is within 6 months of the primaries and Warren actually overtakes Biden. But they are ready if that happens. I'm sure there are already preliminary plans being discussed.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
