Warren in 2016?

Is it too early to start running Elizabeth Warren for president in 2016? Listen to the brilliant, cogent way she explains this:

She certainly makes a lot of sense. Could she win the Presidency? Under the right circumstances, yes. Unfortunately those "right circumstances" will never happen. The powers that be don't want to upset the apple cart(as in money).

I would certainly vote for her. I voted for Obama and, while he's done things I don't like, by and large, he's made an effort to do something while, of course, being stonewalled all the way by the Republican party. And then they have the nerve to say he hasn't done anything.

I don't know what the answer is, but what's going on now is definitely not it. I see Congressional approval is down to about eleven percent or so, which should tell them something. But the people who believe that aren't the money folks. We need to stand up and get rid of the dead weight, of both parties. Do that in the next election and that might get some action.

Will it happen?

The best we can do is support the candidates who make sense, to the extent that we can, and try to warn people of the risks of electing extremists who want to take us in the wrong direction. I will never understand people who vote for candidates who are clearly not intelligent, capable people--running the country is hard, serious business, and it should be entrusted to people who care about doing it right, and are willing to make the effort. Those who hate government are probably not the best choices to work in government.

I am excited that she is running here in MA and she will definitely have my vote. Somehow though, she seems almost too sane to win.

Randy, I certainly do hope we get some kind of action. A lot of people are giving up hope on the entire system. In addition to losing the dead weight I wish there were some way to get rid of the corruptive influence of money on our campaign and lobbying systems.

Changing the law so that the Citizens United law no longer applies would be a good start. Putting Warren in the Senate would be a step in that direction--as long as she's joined by majorities in the Senate and House who are willing to buck the moneyed interests and vote for real reform.
