I think the nations rejection of Hillary in 2016 and Trumps presidency being lucky to even last to 2020 has paved the way for the dems to nominate a more progressive candidate in Elizabeth Warren. She is outrageously intelligent and a fantastic speaker and communicator. And more importantly, she isn't a corporate democrat. She will win all the midwestern industrial states that Hillary lost and has a clear vision and message, unlike you know who.
I'm already on the Warren 2020 train. Chooo Chooo!

Lezzie Hiawatha Pocahantas is damaged goods. But, by all means, run her.
It isn't like the DNC has anyone else for 2020.
Depending on how that class action lawsuit goes against the DNC, there may not even be a DNC, come 2020.

This thread is absolutely priceless!
It polarizes how utterly lost the Democrats are! Obama has left them all for dead, on his endless vacation... Hillary has failed them and is usually drunk most of the time and it's like their entire party has imploded on them!
They were SOOOO sure Hillary was going to win, just like they are SOOO sure that Trump is dirty, but everyone knows these liberal scum hate America! It shows in everything they say and do!
Now at the end of their pathetic ropes they float Elizabeth Warren, a woman who gamed the system by claiming to be of native American decent based solely on the fact she had high cheekbones to get a free ride at college! LOL, just like Obama lied to get a free ride at college! There Democrats are outright pathetic!
You fu@kers are lost! Your party is FINISHED, and only your fleas will morn you!

All the ones dissing her are exactly the ones that I have already factored in to NOT vote for her. Most of you fail to understand the reason why Hillary lost is the very reason Warren can win.

I'd wager the DNC (if it's still around in 2020) has Pocahantas run on the same platoform they had Crooked Hillary run on.
Using the same vote fraud scam too.
Why not?
It worked against Bernie and almost worked on Trump.

Anybody on the left will be able to defeat Trump, if he's still around.
Don't think that's going to be a problem.

She's nothing like Hillary. If all you know about her is what you've heard from right wing news then you know absolutely nothing about her. She hates neoliberalism, globalism, and corporatism. She's savvy, well spoken, fantastic communicator, can energize and motivate voters, and understands the nuts and bolts of how things work. She knows exactly what has gone wrong and how to fix it. If you read any of her books or read about her from an unbiased source you will know this.
From a 2015 Bloomberg article:
Let’s assume that when he woke up on the morning of Dec. 12, Michael Corbat, CEO of Citigroup, was feeling pretty good. The day before, the House of Representatives had passed a bill that would save his bank and others lots of money and headaches.
The trouble was, Elizabeth Warren, the senior senator from Massachusetts, was getting ready to speak on the Senate floor. She had his bank on her mind.
What Warren wanted to talk about was an item tucked into page 615 of a 1,603-page spending package: the repeal of section 716 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010. Known as the swaps push-out rule, section 716 required banks to set up separate subsidiaries, not backed by the government, to trade certain derivatives. If the rule stood, it would generate huge administrative costs for the big banks.
Citi had fought hard on this. The bank’s lobbyists had worked on lawmakers and helped draft language for the repeal. Getting it into a big spending package Congress was sure to pass was a coup. In the ongoing wars between Wall Street and the forces of government regulation, this repeal was a big win for the banks.
“Today I am coming to the floor not to talk about Democrats or Republicans,” Warren began her speech, “but to talk about a third group that also wields tremendous power in Washington—Citigroup.” With that, Warren turned Citi into exactly the kind of villain so many people suspect lurks in the backrooms of the Capitol. In one particularly striking moment, she connected nine top government officials—including Treasury Secretary Jacob J. Lew—directly to the megabank. She invoked Teddy Roosevelt, her favorite trust-busting president, who took on the big corporations of his day.
“There is a lot of talk coming from Citigroup about how Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect,” Warren continued. “So let me say this to anyone who is listening at Citi. I agree with you, Dodd-Frank isn’t perfect.” She paused, then spoke very slowly and emphatically: “It should have broken you into pieces.”
Warren didn’t succeed in blocking the bill. It passed the Senate the next day, and on Dec. 16, President Barack Obama signed it into law. But her clash with Citi generated the kind of headlines no bank wants to see these days. “Why Citi May Soon Regret Its Big Victory on Capitol Hill,” one from American Banker read. Warren’s speech got half a million YouTube hits. A few days later, protesters showed up outside Citi’s New York headquarters, holding placards that said things like “Break Up the Big Banks.”
Starting with December’s showdown with Citi, Warren, 65, has been on a tear, Bloomberg Markets reports in its June 2015 issue. Only two years into her term as senator, she has the kind of clout and attention it takes most lawmakers decades—or a presidential run—to build. Her stance as watchdog over the financial industry helped her win a Senate seat. Now, she’s harnessing that into something bigger and more powerful.
In January, Warren’s protests effectively blocked Obama from appointing Antonio Weiss, a banker at Lazard, to the No. 3 position at the Treasury Department. In February, she took on Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen, calling out the central banker for the conduct of Scott Alvarez, the Fed’s top lawyer, who criticized the swaps push-out rule in a speech. For months, she’s been attacking the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a treaty intended to regulate trade between North America and Asian countries outside of China. The White House wants the agreement badly; Warren casts it as a giveaway to multinational corporations.
Now, as the 2016 run for the White House begins, this could be a very hot campaign season for Wall Street. Warren, who declined to be interviewed for this story, is not running for president—although an army of supporters, including a corps of Hollywood celebrities, is clamoring for her to do so. But her impact on the race is already evident. There are frequent references to a Warren wing of the Democratic party and to the need to appeal to it. Hillary Clinton, the Democratic front-runner, is openly courting her. “Elizabeth Warren never lets us forget that the work of taming Wall Street’s irresponsible risk taking and reforming our financial system is far from finished,” Clinton wrote for Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People issue in April.
Warren is a problem the financial industry didn’t expect to have right now. With the Republicans in control of Congress, this should be the time for Wall Street to soften regulators and their rules. The financial crisis is over, the housing market is recovering, and the economy is stable. A year ago, the sense of urgency about keeping a close watch over the financial industry seemed to be subsiding. Not anymore. Warren has re-sounded the alarm.
...
“More than any of the senators, she is making Wall Street nervous,” says D*ck Durbin, a Democratic senator from Illinois and a fellow financial reformer. This spring, news broke that bank executives had told Democrats they were unhappy about the anti–Wall Street rhetoric coming from Warren and others. In some conversations, executives reportedly suggested they might withhold donations. Warren used the news as an opportunity to remind the public once again how banks wield power in Washington. “The big banks have issued a threat, and it’s up to us to fight back,” she promptly e-mailed supporters, asking for donations.
Barney Frank, the former congressman from Massachusetts and co-author of the Dodd-Frank legislation, says Warren has protected the act. “She can raise hell and make clear to people they will pay a political price if they try to attack it,” says Frank. In particular, he says, Warren has helped make modifying Dodd-Frank politically untenable for Democrats, without some of whom Republicans can’t hope to roll back the law. “I think it is safe until 2016,” Frank says.
“A Republican Senate would not take up Wall Street deregulation now,” says Dennis Kelleher, president and CEO of Better Markets, a watchdog organization that monitors Wall Street’s influence in Washington. “Nobody wants to be seen as siding with the big Wall Street banks.”
Not even the big banks. Executives at Citigroup, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, and other financial institutions declined to be interviewed for this story. Even the head of the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association, or SIFMA, a lobbying group for the securities industry, wouldn’t discuss Warren publicly. “It would be foolish for financial institutions to get into a head-to-head with Senator Warren,” says Tony Fratto, a former Treasury official who is now a partner at the public-affairs consulting firm Hamilton Place Strategies. “It’s exactly what she wants, and it’s a debate you can’t win.”

Warren is a lying POS that talks a good line but has accomplished very little as senator.
1. In 2011, while working as an assistant for President Obama, Warren single-handedly conceived of and established the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a watchdog agency that helps protect the little guy from Wall Street’s dirty schemes. Thanks to the newly-formed agency, mortgage lenders can no longer push you into a loan you cannot afford. And these servicers now have to make a good faith effort to keep you out of foreclosure. If they don’t, they face hefty civil penalties.
It’s not just mortgage companies and big banks that now have to sleep with their eyes open. Credit card companies also now have to play by the rules. In 2012, the bureau ordered three American Express subsidiaries to pay out $85 million to over 250,000 customers they screwed over through illegal practices.
Warren managed to do all of this even while the GOP did everything in their power to c*ckblock it. And when they failed that mission, they b*tched and moaned and managed to prevent her from being nominated head of the CFPB. She then used their tantrum as a pathway to run for Senate.
And she won. Easily.
2. Oh, that’s right. She won her Senate seat. Easily.
3. In only three years, she has sponsored at least 36 bills, including the Equal Employment Act for All, the Schedules That Work Act, the Trade Transparency Act, and the Fed Accountability Act. She consistently fights for legislation that champions for women’s rights, paid family leave, low-wage workers, fair trade and affordable education.
In March 2016, Warren introduced an amendment expanding Social Security to a Senate budget resolution. It failed, since Republicans have a Senate majority. But it forced Democrats to vote on expansion, and 42 voted “yes.”
Among those voting “yes” was Bernie Sanders, who launched his presidential campaign a week later. Expansion became one of the issues dividing the liberal Vermont senator from the centrist Hillary Clinton, who didn’t support it. As Sanders’ campaign caught fire, pressure on Clinton intensified. A few days before his blowout win in New Hampshire, he called on Clinton to “loudly and clearly” renounce Social Security cuts. Finally, she did.
By April, Clinton had co-opted the idea. “We should expand Social Security, not cut or privatize it,” she announced on the night she won the Pennsylvania primary. It was now certain that the next Democratic nominee would favor expansion. Obama’s speech last week ratified this as the formal position of the Democratic Party.
Contra Trump, getting a president, and a party, to reverse position on such a big issue is clear evidence of effectiveness. “When Warren joined the fight, she elevated the fight,” says Green. “There were trajectory-changing moments thanks to her.”

Warren has a heritage problem
That's all you got on her? Ya know, if you really did your homework on her instead of getting sound bites from right wing(corporatist) news sources you might actually discover that she's on your side and extremely pro working class and middle class. In other words you are displaying opinions that are against your own interests.
What she is about would help the vast majority of Americans and unrig a very rigged system. Do a little unbiased research on her and you will find that she is very much in favor of your interests and most everyone elses who isn't part of the ruling class.
