It's Official...Elizabeth Warren Is Not Going To Run For President

Elizabeth Warren Says She's Not Going To Run For President

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) gave her most definitive answer to date about her 2016 plans in an interview with Fortune published Tuesday.

Former FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair sat down with Warren for the interview and asked her directly about her future plans for a potential White House bid:


So are you going to run for President?

No.

This is the Elizabeth Warren group and the OP is about Warren saying she isn't running for President.

I simply posted an article.

I apologize if it was offensive in any way.

... to see many candidates for many offices denying they were going to run almost up until the moment they announce.

Warren is a good politician and a lot can happen in the next five or six months.

If I were Warren, even if I had decided to run, I would be playing Hamlet, too.

What's revealing is how anxious the Hillaryites are for a Sherman statement from Warren ... they should be worried.

Since Hillary Clinton is a general election loser, all of us ought to be concerned about the prospect of a relatively uncontested nomination process.

in case we have not seen this!
There's an old saying - you can THINK you are effectively punching hippies, but ya can't make them support Hillary Clinton. Something like that.

Anyway, I believe that, for a lot of people who support Warren, other liberal Progressive candidates will do - just don't want a Centrist corporate candidate.
So - it's all good!
Hopefully that pledgey oathy thingy won't show up here....
