Level 8

Just a notch or 2 above Ocasio Cortez and Bernie but still to left wing. I could never support any of the democrats as they are just to crazy. The democrats don’t have anyone who can beat Trump anyway.

Do you mean "too crazy" and "too left wing" ?. She is about as left wing as a moderate conservative in the UK and if having a social conscience is crazy than she sure is !.

He will defeat himself.

@Moravian I’ve noticed your still using oil and gas in Britain. Ocasio Cortez wants to discontinue all oil and gas use by 2035. She also wants open borders with unrestricted immigration. If that’s not extremely radical I’d don’t know what is!

@Moravian If your politicians are as radical as she is Britian will never survive.

Never heard of Ocasia Cortez but I have long been an admirer of Elizabeth Warren.It always takes a Democrat president to sort out the USA's economy after it has been destroyed by a profligate Republican giving money away to his wealthy friends.

@Marine You are quite delusional.

@Moravian You means it alway takes a Republican president to straighten things out after having a racist idiot like Obama for 8 years.

@Trajan61 Sorry but you really do not know your politics. Almost every republican president in the modern era has left office with the stock market binj a tail spin. The Dems come in turn it artound and get blamed for spending the money the republicans should have spent and the cycle begins again.

Level 9

“While so much of the action on the American left in recent months has come in the form of revived enthusiasm for socialism, Senator Elizabeth Warren has positioned herself quite differently. During the past two weeks, she has expounded about the prospects for capitalism in a much-covered speech and in a Wall Street Journal op-ed.  Instead of championing the system’s demise, she presents herself as its savior.”

“Foer: The 1980s seem to be the moment of your own personal political transformation. Right? [Warren  says that around that time she went from identifying as a Republican to becoming a consumer activist.]

Warren:   Yes.”

Level 1

I am so excited about this!

Level 7

I'm willing to give her a shot. I am waiting, though, to see who else puts their hat in the ring.

Level 9

She will be my first choice -- and would have been in 2016 if she had run.

Level 7

I like her. Why are people so reluctant about this?

Because people are _____. Hell, Trump got elected so nothing is a given any longer.

@HippieChick58 Yeah, I understand about the trump base. They are idiots. I guess the rightwing propaganda bullshit affects the normal people as well as the idiots.

@HippieChick58 I feel the same way about that idiot Obama as you do about Trump.

Level 6

In 2016, she would've been my preference. Now, I'll need some convincing. I'd rather see some fresh faces duking it out in a real primary this time around.

Level 9

Maybe Warren can suceed where Clinton failed to reach the oval office.

Level 8

She had me until she touted for HRC in front of those whom believed that she was a progressive

Level 8

She's not my first choice but she's far better than anyone on the other side.

Who would be your first choice?

Honestly I don’t know. I think Warren, Biden, and Bernie are all too old. I don’t get the excitement over Beto. I’m concerned that Kamala, Klobuchar, Gillibrand, and Cory Booker can’t win. Maybe Bloomberg? Who do you think has the best shot?

@jerry99 None of them have a chance against Trump.

@Trajan61 Fortunately we can count on Trump to knock himself out of consideration.

@jerry99 You are delusional.
