I'm for Elizabeth Warren, 2016.

Hillary is a center-left Democrat. She is not a socialist. Want proof? Ask any real socialist if Clinton OR Obama are socialists. They'll laugh in your face.

(19,178 posts)why on earth would you want her on the Supreme Court? The Next supreme court nominee should be someone in their 40s

(903 posts)i think that she'd be too old to run for president.

(68,644 posts)I read that article, even clicked past the vote to "view more candidates".
They are trying to build the narrative that is rightly ours.
Don't help them.

(36,693 posts)You got the work all done?? Haven't you had enough elections for awhile??
There is a lot of work to be done. If we do it right 2014 and 2016 will take care of themselves.
Christie will be dead by then. Too heavy. Hilary will be tired by then.
I just do not understand why you have to worry about four years from now when there is much to do.

Michelle stands about 10 feet taller than all of them put together.
I'm sure you can google her academic accomplishments.
BlueMan Votes
(903 posts)just because the other side likes to run unqualified vanity candidates- it doesn't mean that we should.
Tumbulu
(6,291 posts)and you are raining on my happy parade. She damn well is qualified to do anything she wants. Now why SHE would want to be VP and be stuck doing all the work 24/7 I'm sure she'd say no emphatically. But good grief, can't a DU poster have any fun?

(40,416 posts)Give it a rest. No matter what people think, the candidates four years hence will not be the ones trotted out here on DU today.
The UK does national elections on a six week schedule. Many other countries do the same. It is totally insane to put our country into a perpetual campaign mode. That's why congress has a low double digit approval rate.
Give it a rest. Anybody who really cares about this country doesn't give a tinker's cuss about who will be running for president four years from now. We will know that in three years, or so.
But one thing is sure. It will not likely be the top candidates today.
Give this shit a rest. We have work to do, no part of which is electing our next president. Maybe we ought to be more worried about taking back the House of Representatives. Just maybe. That is two years from now.
It is all about perspective, and about tiring our short sighted, ignorant electorate. Let this 2016 meme go. It is irrelevant now.

(903 posts)just because the 'age of the white guy' is over in the U.S., it doesn't mean that we can't run one.

(40,416 posts)It is totally irrelevant.
I will start worrying in about three years. Ask me then. (and I will likely not have made up my mind.)
Sheesh!
BlueMan Votes
(903 posts)do you think that we'll be able to hold/extend the lead in the senate...? and maybe even win back the house...?
longship
(40,416 posts)The whole shape of things political in 2016 depends entirely on what happens in 2014.
We need to take back the House of Representatives. That will give President Obama the mandate he deserves, because nobody thinks that today's House will do anything different than the last two years. No matter what Boehner said today!
After the 2014 midterms we can begin... begin thinking about 2016. To do so before then is mere political masterbation. In other words, a useless exercise and an utter waste of energy.

(903 posts)rather than selling out our ideals, he should take every opportunity to highlight the intransigent nature of the pukes- and hopefully the voters will give him the congress we need in 2014

Fuck the media and their obsession with shoving certain candidates down the public's throats. It could be someone totally unexpected on both sides.

(10,942 posts)The bad news for republicans is the party has become a collection of closed minded haters or religious zealots that don't tolerate sane thinking.
Sick of this Hillary running talk. She already ran and lost. She's old, need new blood. Perhaps Julian Castro?

(22,271 posts)PLEASE stop shoving Hillary Clinton down our throats? We rejected her once already. Her time has passed. We need new blood.
