12. Urging Elizabeth to run for the purpose of making Hillary look better sucks, IMO.

I'd love for Warren to run and so would many others. But asking her to jump into the race to make it seem as though there's a real Democratic primary, then lose to Hillary sucks, IMO. So does seeking to split Warren/Sanders votes for the benefit of Hillary. And that's what establishment Democrats have been doing. Not so long ago, they were asking Warren to sigh a letter of support for Hillary. The establishment of both parties is all about Hillary in the Democratic primary, not Sanders, not Warren, not us.

BEWARE.

It's in the article. He wants her as a stalking horse only. hedda_foil Apr 2015 #4

That's exactly what they want from Elizabeth Warren. AtomicKitten Apr 2015 #10

"to keep Hilary fresh in the public eye; Elizabeth Warren should run against her.” fuck that Autumn Apr 2015 #7

As I & others here predicted, Elizabeth WILL run & on her own terms. It's a smart strategy too-wait & watch Hillary, a notoriously bad campaigner, self-destruct. InAbLuEsTaTe Apr 2015 #8

Interesting timing. Are they hoping to split the vote between Bernie and Warren?... cascadiance Apr 2015 #11
