Elizabeth Warren
In reply to the discussion: Top liberals call for Warren candidacy - They say that Hillary needs a Democratic opponent. [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)47. O'Malley is good on issues, but I don't know how he will do when it comes to charisma and
        exciting voters enough to get them out.  That is where Elizabeth Warren excels.
If you read the story of Teddy Roosevelt, the great reformer (but also a very military man and from a very wealthy family), you learn that getting people excited enough to organize behind you and even in front of you is the secret to reform.  Elizabeth Warren has that gift.  I don't know whether anyone else does.  But Elizabeth Warren is way ahead of anyone else on that point at this time.

        Regressive will be the only word to describe a Democratic primary without truly Progressive

        Brown is from Ohio, a swing state.  That is a plus for him.  But Elizabeth Waren is the one.

        I call for a Warren run too, but I don't give a damn what 'Hillary needs'.

        If Warren doesn't run, Bernie Sanders and Robert Reich would be alternatives.  Not Elizabeth
