(118,338 posts)Americans won't want a third Bush, given the record of the first two
And when Clinton stepped down as SoS, she said she had spent nearly forty years in public life and was through with doing that. If she ran successfully, she'd be the oldest President ever on her inauguration day, older by a few weeks than even Reagan was when he was first inaugurated -- and we can expect a loud chorus of She's too old!, plus the rightwing's usual recycling of slanders, of which they have a plentiful supply from the mudslinging during her years as FLotUS

Elizabeth Warren doesn't say anything nasty about Hillary Clinton, but she sure criticizes and persuasively the Clinton, GWB and Obama financial favorites. Her book A Fighting Chance is a call for justice. The more people read that book, the less the chances of either a Bush or a Clinton winning the presidency. We bought extra copies to give to friends and families. It's that good. She says in her book what Occupy may have wanted to say but just didn't have the inside knowledge or years of studying economics to say. Besides she is a lot more succinct, to the point and organized that the Occupiers. I'm not criticizing the Occupy movement. I'm just differentiating it.
Also, Elizabeth Warren's book is a delight to read. The stories about her life are moving. She came from a relatively poor family and made it to teach at Harvard law school and then serve in the Senate. Her story is an inspiration for every woman in the country.
