i love elizabeth warren but i dont know if she could seal the deal with america. we'll see.
but more important than the presidency, mental unstables excluded, is to regain control of the house and the senate. that's what democrats keep missing the point about.
what's the legislative program what's the contract with america they're offering? what's the new-new deal? can't just be a cult of personality. where's the 10-point program?

Have you noticed Elizabeth Warren has been the target of a character assassination attempt based on her position at Harvard and her divulging her Cherokee heritage to get said position. Hard to know what's real, but it's obviously a well-engineered attack, becaue it's rooted in semi-truths. Yes, she taught at Harvard with a light class load, yes she somehow mentioned her Native American heritage on her application/cover letter/urriculum vitae/whatsver, yes she probably made a lot, but ... y'know... it's Harvard and she's a sitting senator, so professor emeritus status works in the college's favor.
Anyway, I think she's been toasted and will not run. She has been labeled "establishment" just like her old frenemy Hillary. I think she can still do a lot of good, and I love her too, but I don't think a presidential bid is in her future.
I'd vote Biden in a heartbeat, but he won't run either.
New blood is needed, and desperately. Not just federally, but on the state and even county/city level.
