Holland Taylor researched several years and wrote (and usually stars in) a play called "Ann".

https://www.theannrichardsplay.com/ is the official website. I hope the play comes to PBS.

Might be clips on YouTube. Enjoy! I believe she said "born with silver foot in his mouth" in reference to a Bush candidate.

She'd be the nominee in 2020 if she were alive. She is everything balled up into one. She is Warren smart but oozing with charisma and a Texas downhome twang. She was so relatable. She would wipe the floor with everyone of the candidates this year.
