Elizabeth Warren Launches Exploratory Bid For President In 2020 : NPR
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has announced she is forming an exploratory committee as she considers whether to seek the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
In a video emailed to supporters, Warren recounted her own working class background and her work strengthening consumer financial protections.
“Most of us want the same thing, to be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules and take care of the people we love,” said Warren.
This should be fun.

How is she going to take polls?
Smoke signals?
“If the presidential election were held today, for whom would you vote? Bang the drum once for Warren and twice for Trump. If you are undecided, bang the drum three times. If you are decided and would vote for another candidate, bang the drum four times. Thank you.”
I’d say that she has between a one in 64 chance and a one in 1024 chance of winning the Democratic nomination.
Fauxcahontas really is delusional. Though I’m sure she can count on Commissar’s vote(s).
I wouldn’t bet on it, TOW. Bernie has made noises about running again, and our boy Lars was a big fan the last time around.
He went BALLS DEEP FOR BERNIE. After Bernie was ran out by Cankles McPantsuit, he went JILLING FOR JILL.
Oh, come on, you guys!!! You’re tossing out Googly Eyes from the Bronx! She’s almost old enough and if she doesn’t get the nod, she’ll file an age discrimination suit! And she’ll have her metrosexual spokesperson Trent announce that she and Beto are running together.
Count on it.
Ojos-Locos and Robert Francis O’Rourke The Fake Mexican? That promises to be entertaining.
Trump’s nicknames for this gang of loonies will be epic.
If Bernie doesn’t run Lieawatha will get his minions.
More popcorn please!
This is news, NPR? Tomorrow they’ll report on how water is wet.
Scary.
She is a nutbag.
Every time Fauxcahontas attempts to embellish her American Indian heritage she digs her political grave a little deeper.
“It does not take many words to tell the truth.” ~ Sitting Bull, Hunkpapa Lakota, 1831-1890
Dims swapping one lying, embellishing non-electable female candidate for another lying, embellishing female candidate. Sounds like a plan. No big surprise; Taxachussets kept sending a murderer back to the Senate, tried to make him a POTUS, and then lionized him.
Hey charles w, you interested in selling off any of your pop corn futures? I know that you invested heavily in them last month.
If things don’t go well in your negotiations with charles w, I may be able to find some available shares in a popcorn packaging plant for you…
Just don’t take Charles w’s stapler to fasten the packages.
This is going to end up like the Ted Kennedy’s run for President. Her fake claims are going to keep coming back. Her Dem opponents will definitely use it.
Good Luck to her, nice to see there will be entertainment!
Well. Isn’t this a surprising and very special development.
Or not.
And besides all that, she definitely has my full support. Not to win, of course, but I fully support her contribution to the chaos among the dims.
Please God let her run.
The primaries will be an epic hoot.
Biden, Bernie and Liz. Three contenders is 3! (factorial) yielding six different combinations of a Dem ticket.
Musical chairs on steroids.
Please God let me live to see it.
Please…let her run….please
You’d hit that, wouldn’t you?
Only out of hate…but ..yeah
Gonna introduce her to your white privilege? 😉
And make 1/1024th into 1/2048th.
If you can’t beat them, breed them out.
Warren/O’Rourke. The ticket. Because phoniness is the next best thing to sincerity.
As much fun as I think Creepy Uncle Joe would be in this age of #MeToo, this is the ticket I want to see. The fake native and the fake hispanic. Two whiter than white people going on about their minority street creds.
100% of WW1 vets support her.
Change my mind.
She’s really off the reservation on this venture!
The good voters of Taxachussettes have a special kind of stupid.
Which they visit on the rest of the US
I’ve heard that genuine American Indians named her “Walking Turkey” meaning a bird that is too full of shit to fly.
Here maiden name is Herring. She married a man named Warren and then dumped him after she obtained her law degree. Less than two years later, she married ‘into her field’ but retained the name Warren. I wish she had kept Herring.
It would be much more apropos. Especially if someone talked her into a ginger hair dye job. HA!
I fully support the Progressive/Socialist ticket of:
Warren & Ocasio-Cortez 2020
I will predict that Googly Eyes From the Bronx will snare Beto Le Faux O’Rourke and toss his head into the ring, and file an age discrimination complaint if she doesn’t get the nod.
Seriously.
We need people on that side of the fence who can scare the bejesus out of undecided voters.
And here I thought Christmas was over.
Then again, if we go by the Twelve Days of Old, today is “Six geese a laying”. Elizabeth Warren, the goose egg. This stuff writes itself.
Sorry for the elbows as I make my way to my seat for the show. Someone please pass the popcorn.
I was so hoping that Anthony Weiner and Eric Holder would be on the ticket. A Weiner/Holder ticket would be a winner. Bet even Lars would get behind that one.
She lost the primary before it even started when she pulled that DNA test stunt.
So it was the actual test that proved she was a liar, not the lying about it for the last 20+ years?
The biggest threat with respect to the GOP keeping the White House, besides Trump, is Kamala Harris.
Though we have a long time to go before the primary and ultimately the person that is going to win is the one that dems believe can most easily defeat Trump.
Dems may not agree on much right now with respect to leaders for the future of the party but the one thing dems absolutely agree on is how much they hate Trump. Trump is hated by dems more than I ever imagined he would be and I expected he would be hated more than any president in our lifetimes.
I have never seen liberals more motivated and dedicated for change than I have seen now.
Trump is the best thing that ever happened with respect to tilted the nation toward liberal politics since the Great Depression.
Harris? Really… every damn clip I’ve seen of her, she sounds like a village idiot.
And this change that you see your fellow liberals doing – does that involve burning businesses, throwing bags of urine, denying groups their First Amendment rights and beating up people?
“Though we have a long time to go before the primary and ultimately the person that is going to win is the one that dems believe can most easily defeat Trump.”
Seriously?? How many years of college did it take to come up with that newsflash there Captain Obvious???
Except that’s not what they did in 2016. Had to rig it against the guy that more people wanted and who would have probably prevailed against Trump. Just because it was “her turn”.
You gave yourself away. Again.
Believe it or not, there are still Democrats in this country who are neither libs, commies, socialists, nor any other type of lefty. They are getting more difficult to find as they awaken to the reality that their party left them and their values.
Let me make this perfectly clear – “values” is not code for anything nefarious, and most assuredly not racism, sexism, homophobia, or any of the other -isms we conservatives are routinely accused of being.
No, the Dems I know who are increasingly frustrated with their party run the gambit of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, education, orientations, and all that other inconsequential stuff. Some are not even native born but worked hard to become US citizens and have contributed much to our society. Some of this beautiful assortment of people serve in public office, others are adopting outside their own races, still others just living the dream that only the USA allows every citizen to live in spite of additional permissions we must obtain to do it.
t does look like the Dem party is successfully running off anyone who is not at least a liberal if not a full-fledged commie/socialist/whatever you want to call yourself this week.
The “non-liberal” Democrats you are talking about remnants of the stats’s rights democrat movement that opposed desegregation. They call themselves Jeffersonian Democrats but they have proven themselves to be full of shot when they claim they are Jeffersonian or even states rights.
In actual practice and political activists they tend to be states rights whenever the federal government tries to protect minority groups and minority religious groups but are staunchly pro police state and strong theocratic leanings with respect to federal power.
This is particularly true with respect to a decades long and continuous effort to remove the barriers separating church and state in order to promote their Christian “values” and their “right” to use the power of state and federal government to impose their Christian “values” on the other Americans.
The only other non-liberal Democrats are baby boomer Democrats that staunchly supported the Democratic Party turning against unions and becoming advocates for the financial industry and international/globalized corporations in the 90s.
I suspect you were not one of those Democrats because Pelosi and both Bill and Hillary were and i cant imagine you aligning yourself with them.
I am a registered Democrat. I think it’s cute.
It is one of your better qualities.
Here you go again, “Orange Man Bad, *click* Orange Man Bad, *click* Orange Man Bad, *click*,…
Thus once against proving your abject ignorance, quite obviously a willful ignorance, of reality. You should get out among real Americans instead of your usual crowd of theorists. Reading and writing about stuff is nothing like actually experiencing stuff.
Do something which forces you to interact with real people. Drive a delivery truck, spend time as a grocery store checker, work the night shift at a convenience store, plow a few fields, muck some horse stalls, apprentice to an electrician. Anything which takes you among people who make this country work instead of sitting in an ivory tower talking about things about which you apparently know little to nothing. No, being a barista at the college town coffee house doesn’t count.
The problem is their message is all “we hate Trump!” and little more. What else they have is split between identity politics and the free shit army.
To her credit, Pelosi understands that her anti-Trumpism isn’t helping the platform because it is not a platform. She’s trying to change the message, but you have too many morons in the party (looking at you Rep Schitt for brains) that will spend the next two years trying to destroy Trump.
As I’ve said before, everyone knows Trump is a brash, loud, womanizing, outspoken, non-filtered, reality TV star jackass. But he’s OUR jackass, and he’s been doing good for the country despite all the “experts” opinions to the contrary. I voted for him, and have never been more proud to say I voted for someone two years into their term. Usually there’s immediate buyer’s remorse with the regular politicians.
“…too many morons in the party (looking at you Rep Schitt for brains) that will spend the next two years trying to destroy Trump.”
This does create an effect which churns votes into a muddle. Notice that Warren isn’t claiming Mishi Gami status right now. Someone maybe have rubbed her nose in it, but I would be unsurprised if she tried it again. Let’s see: Bernie, Liz, Kamala, Beta, and Googly-Eyes all in the same boat. That should all be very interesting.
BUT,,,, in all of your other posts, you go on and on(and on and on), about how stupid Trump is, how crooked he is, how bad he is, that the left is going to have no trouble winning the White House back. Now you say , whoever “the dems feel can win”. So, it sounds like you all, i.e.
dems, really aren’t so sure.
Go ahead and alienate half the country. It’s worked so good for you all so far.
Fucking commie libdouche cunt, she would be 1000 times worse then 0sama oops 0bamba.
“Fucking commie libdouche cunt….” Yep, that sums him up nicely.
If she simply promises legal weed and free school for everyone, she’ll lock up the Barney Sandals vote.
Here we go. An Injun in the White House.
The pendulum always swings both ways. Red Line gave us Trump and the prospect of Wide Load assured Trump’s victory, and could well be that a Democratic Socialist wins the White House in 2020. Emotion is what controls the lefties and no matter how well America is doing under Trump or does before the 2020 election, they just seethe. I get it and I like it. They are a miserable lot and they deserve every ounce of pain they suffer. That’s the silver lining in the Democratic Socialist cloud.
If Princess Liawatha does run, and her followers do the tomahawk chop at her rallies, would that be raysist or cultural misappropriation?
Yes.
Wrong. They are racist, and many other -ists, every day, but it simply can’t be when they do it, because they say so, because, well, it’s them doing it. Only people they hate can be whatever it is they accuse them of being, just because…you know, they said so.
Nuance, or something. Like Trump. The sky is falling. Science matters, except when it doesn’t.
And you are a Nazi for thinking otherwise.
Mein Gott in Himmel! Was die bumsen?
Ist das Chaos oder die Geschichte?
Ich bin völlig verwirrt.
Something to consider is that in order for President Trump to be re-elected, he’ll need to get the party nomination again. Although such a thing is now routine, there’s no drop-dead certainty it will happen in the next election. Call it a long shot, but the GOP might decide to counter the Dem’s pervasive vitriol by rolling out a candidate the left isn’t consumed by hate for at a visceral level.
Somebody such as James Mattis might work. He’s still well-regarded by the news media, has proven leadership skills, and so forth. Toss in Nikki Haley running for VP and it would make for an interesting prospect.
Also, given the current vicious political climate and stress involved, what if Trump decided to stand down?
His ego won’t let him stand down. He’d run as an independent and split the vote like Teddy Roosevelt did. The Republicans learned their lesson in ’92 on that one I hope.
It’ll be Trump in 2020 for the RNC. Unless he massively tanks the job over the next two years.
What if Trump has simply been paving the way for someone like GEN Mattis or Nikki Haley?
When you have people whose presence is essentially calm and thoughtful, but direct, the squawking from the left might propel people to vote in the direction of calmness and coolheadedness.
Exactly right. He has showcased quite a few potential replacements for himself. Something the party should have been doing all along but forgot how to accomplish. Just one more way that Trump has singlehandedly turned things around in DC. Now, if the party just has enough sense to take up the reins. Lindsay finding the door to the White House gives me hope that enough in Congress have come out of hibernation to make this all work.
“When you have people whose presence is essentially calm and thoughtful, but direct, the squawking from the left might propel people to vote in the direction of calmness and coolheadedness.”
That’s why I have always liked Condi Rice. Calm, cool, collected. She doesn’t rise to the top (or bottom) of most lists, but I feel she would make a good President or VP. Mattis and Condi … what’s not to like? It would drive the rancid dummycrats absolutely batshit crazy. How could they attack either of them? I like those you mentioned, also. Yes, Mattis and Haley would be a good team. I thought Mattis was too old but I looked him up and, hell, I’m older than him. One thing for sure the RINOs will have to be in alignment and stop freaking trashing each other.
POTUS Squating Squaw? I think not!
Still less embarrassing than Justin Turd-eau…..
And about neck & neck with Jean-Michel Macaroni de la France.
With his 40-years-older wife who was his junior high teacher? Madame Robinson’s boy-toy.
I can only say ‘Grace a Dieu, she is too old to get pregnant!’
There isn’t a prominent Democrat that doesn’t suck major dick. I’m tired of those MOFOs they turn my stomach. There hasn’t been a more lying bunch of shits in Democrat politics in history that I know of. Throw in that they have the lame stream media in their pocket and it’s a miracle Trump was able to prevail. It’s nothing more than a miracle. He is going to have a terrible time winning in 2020. I don’t know if he can pull it off. I’m tired
Grey Beaver in the White House? I think…no.
If the primary were held today, I think Biden would be on it. Forget the wanna be Native American. She has lost credibility. There is not a prominent Democrat whose possible election does not make me cringe. If certain of them were to be elected, we have truly lost the country.
