Elizabeth Warren, Not Hillary Clinton, Should Be the Next President
One doesn't normally think of Bob Dole, John McCain, and Mitt Romney when hearing Hillary Clinton's name. Like these one-time GOP nominees, many people believe that Clinton deserves the presidency because of her decades of experience. However, she already lost the nomination in 2008, so we know that her future in the Oval Office isn't set in stone. Although Clinton is impressive in many respects, she might not be as dynamic and inspiring as a certain senator from Massachusetts. Elizabeth Warren, not Clinton, has taken on Wall Street, picked fights with prominent Republicans, and eloquently voiced the concerns of American around the country.
The biggest advantage Elizabeth Warren has over any competition is that she's the "hottest" politician in Washington. According to a recent Politico article, Warren ranks ahead of Clinton, as well as her possible Republican challengers in a Quinnipiac University poll:
When Americans were asked to give prominent politicians a score, zero to 100, of how "warm," or favorable, they feel toward that person, the Massachusetts Democratic senator was the highest-rated of the bunch with a "temperature" of 48.6, according to a Quinnipiac poll out Thursday...
Clinton was in second place at 47.8...
While some polls might favor Clinton, the fact that Warren is relatively new to the Washington scene (compared to Clinton's decades of experience) speaks volumes. The actual poll is also enlightening, in that it states Warren ranks higher than any potential Republican rival as well.
Also, has anyone ever heard Clinton say anything close to the poignant and forthright statements of Elizabeth Warren on a number of issues dear to the heart of Americans? A 2014 Gallup poll states that jobs, government, and the economy are the most important issues to voters, and with each topic, Elizabeth Warren's words and ideas are superior to those of Hillary Clinton. On poverty, Warren's shot across the bow at Paul Ryan is a prime example of her willingness to attack prominent Republicans on their stances.

So, rather than burst their DC bubble they're living in, I figured it would be better placed in this forum. Not as visible, but at least it will be seen by the sane.
