There is a possibility that HRC could actually go FDR if she wanted to...

Now, we all don't know one way or the other which way her sail will blow when she sits in the President's chair and is deciding what to do about ISIS or any other conflict around the world. We also don't know how she will treat the many, many, many wealthy donors who will be partaking in the billion dollar Presidential election? But knowing the game these days, we know it takes that much money to be able to take on Republicans. Perhaps one of the main reasons Elizabeth Warren doesn't want to even take on that insanity; just to play the President games, she would have to take donations from Wall St and bankers.

So, I've been thinking it all over... This woman has been in our public eye for a long time. She has faced backlash and has probably taken "political" votes to strategically position herself for running the first time around in 2008. It's now 2016, and there is a different set of issues on the table. She has "street cred" on foreign policy and can name drop on leaders around the world (much more than ANY republican candidate can do). She really has a full "experience" package.

If she wins, she's possibly the one candidate who can buck the system if she chooses. She's been there and seen the threats to her family. She's run a few campaigns and travelled around the world meeting people all around. And unless you are a sociopath, meeting the women around the world who have so many struggles for a voice and meeting the many people in this country with many of their own horror stories, I think she has an empathetic ear. So, out of any of these megalomaniacs running for office and having to suck up for money and pac money, she really has the best shot of sitting in the Oval Office and signing a minimum wage increase, reducing student debts, continuing to negotiate for peace in the Middle East (seriously, who wants to fight a war when talk works better?)

I certainly don't think any Republican candidate won't lead us back down the road to 2008 disasters.

Perhaps, this time around, someone who is as powerful and as recognized as this lady is in her own right, we could get a few things accomplished.. AND she's not afraid to take on Republicans BS. Any way, in this atmosphere we have with money and politics, she's probably the best hope we have of progressing forward.

3. It's not my "ideal" image for America with money and politics and so many of us

being screwed more and more every day, however, it is the congress that makes laws and creates the budgets. Without someone strong on offense against the Republicans and our own party at times, how will anything good for the most of us come to pass?

Like it or not, Senator Warren isn't running and I don't think she's changing her mind. Bernie Sanders rocks, but I'm not sure the media won't do their "hit job" on him because he's so anti-corruption, for regulations, for sanity, that the 1% club will do anything to shut his message down.

AND its not like people aren't realizing Americans need more spending power if the wealthy want to continue making profits. Walmart is increasing wages, Mitt Romney who hasn't met a Chinese slave shop he didn't like, is speaking about increasing wages.. You know, enough to keep people still "working poor", but enough to keep people buying.

Eventually, we will either annihilate this planet because of our lack of focus on environmental issues OR we need to face the fact that capitalism and our economic model as we see it today has to change completely in a way that doesn't keep producing like we have an infinite amount of resources. We don't. Sadly, there are people in this country who don't "believe" in science. They believe in an invisible God who lives in the sky, but they don't believe data and research that is real and tangible sitting in their faces.

Hillary Clinton may actually have ability to push forward on environmental issues. When you have kids and grand kids and see your future family sitting on your lap, sometimes, you think about the future you are leaving behind and want to make a better existence for them. If a mass extinction occurs like is possible with ocean acidification and the oceans dying out, the wealthy and the poor will be in the same boat.
