Just imagine for a minute the absolute earth shaking excitement if Hill picks Liz.

It would literally take the breath out of us for a moment.

Especially one that was preceded by a Republican in a state which has a Republican governor.

We cannot trust that one of our great senators won't be replaced by an idiot Republican.

Warren would be replaced by a special election.

No seat loss.

As to state wide elections, who is the current MA governor?

I rest my case.

pick Warren. More than take our breath away, it would put Democrats toward a real forward looking path and be an amazingly positive contrast to Trump/Pence. Pence will fire up the Republican base, that's for sure. Why not counter with a Warren that will do the same for us but also has broad appeal in her message of putting people first against the powerful and the elite that have benefited for so long.

I have faith in Hillary to shock Wall Street and bring it home for Main Street finally!
