No president has ever assumed office past the age of 69 in American history. Leftist hero and current democrat party Massachussetts senator Elizabeth Warren will be 67 in 2016 and a healthy 71 years young four years later in 2020. Not to mention how very hard it would be for her to defeat a sitting president in either a primary or general election in 2020. Translation: Run now, Chief Left Fist, or forever hold your peace pipe.
For her part, Warren has sent very mixed messages on the issue, from claims of no intention to run in 2016 to her current high profile on the campaign trail helping out 2014 democrat party midterm candidates while her Chief (no pun intended) 2016 democrat party rival, Hilary Clinton, sits out 2014 on the sidelines.
That Warren might well be willing to take on Hilary in the 2016 primary, coupled with her very quickly closing window to run for president and her obvious current "Rock Star" status amongst leftist 20 percenters, would seem to suggest to me that leftists everywhere best be putting on the full-court leftist press (and I mean starting yesterday) for this ill-tempered, fist-shaking, private sector-hating, Oklahoma Indian leftist broad to run for commander in Chief.
And what ain't to like about her? A more pure, devout and angry leftist one will never find -- even more so than Obama himself and much more so than the mealy-mouthed, stand-not-for-much-of-anything Hilary. Hell, it was Warren who invented the famous "you didn't build that [business of yours]" talking point that Obama stole from her in 2012! Even the hot-tempered Howard Dean couldn't carry Liz's Jock!
Plus Warren would be the first woman president. AND the first Indian president. (Warren, who claims to be something like 1/64 Cherokee, once had her herself listed as a "minority" professor at Harvard based on claims of "family folklore" (and nothing else) supporting that same tall tale of tears).
Hey, I'm all too happy to get behind a Warren presidential run. Seeing Warren and the democrat party leftist base going to war with Hilary and the rest of Hilary's old-guard democrat party establishment allies on the campaign trail would, indeed, be the highest form of entertainment! (I mean, just look at all the fun we Independents have watching the right-winger tea partiers duking it out at every turn with the establishment gop-ers!)
So you go for it, old girl! You Can Do It, Lefty Liz! 2016 is shaping up to be a pretty damn boring presidential year otherwise. And all boredom and no entertainment makes Rager a very dull boy.
