Warren embraces underdog role as she faces 2020 challenges

BOSTON -- Elizabeth Warren has spent much of the last decade as a leader of the Democratic Party's liberal wing.

But three and a half months into her presidential campaign, the Massachusetts senator is facing tough questions about fundraising and electability, along with lingering skepticism about her past claim to Native American identity. The longtime liberal superstar is embracing an uncomfortable role in the crowded 2020 contest: the underdog.

"This is the race I want to run," Warren insisted in an interview with The Associated Press.

1. Exactly the type of misogynistic challenges you would expect to be placed on a female candidate...

Elizabeth, though, is up to the challenge, as the one progressive candidate to come along who is clearly the most qualified and capable, and with the greatest chance, of finally breaking that "glass ceiling." I wish her and her campaign the best of luck.


Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!
