WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Monday took the first major step toward launching a widely anticipated campaign for the presidency, hoping her reputation as a populist fighter can help her navigate a Democratic field that could include nearly two dozen candidates.
“No matter what our differences, most of us want the same thing,” the 69-year-old Massachusetts Democrat said in a video that highlights her family’s history in Oklahoma. “To be able to work hard, play by the same set of rules and take care of the people we love. That’s what I’m fighting for and that’s why today I’m launching an exploratory committee for president.”
Warren burst onto the national scene a decade ago during the financial crisis with calls for greater consumer protections. She quickly became one of the party’s more prominent liberals even as she sometimes fought with Obama administration officials over their response to the market turmoil.
Now, as a likely presidential contender, she is making an appeal to the party’s base. Her video notes the economic challenges facing people of color along with images of a women’s march and Warren’s participation at an LGBT event.
In an email to supporters, Warren said she’d more formally announce a campaign plan early in 2019.
Warren is the most prominent Democrat yet to make a move toward a presidential bid and has long been a favorite target of President Donald Trump.
In mid-December, former Obama housing chief Julian Castro also announced a presidential exploratory committee, which legally allows potential candidates to begin raising money. Outgoing Maryland Rep. John Delaney is the only Democrat so far to have formally announced a presidential campaign.
But that’s likely to change quickly in the new year as other leading Democrats take steps toward White House runs.

Yes, her plan is to reign in big corporations while at the same time expanding the largest entity in the history of mankind, the United States government.
Sounds like a winner👍
-
And the dipshits in Massachusetts re-elected her, pretty much knowing she'd be absentee for a good portion of it.
Good though, I don't she's likeable enough to be elected.
-
If elected she will hold pow-wows instead of press conferences.
-
I hope she’s the candidate. She’ll get worked. As said, she has zero likability. No sense of humor either.
For all her talk about being for the little guy, she always spends her free time in Cape Cod hobnobbing with the wealthy who are overwhelmingly Caucasian.
-
Warren and Dems go on warpath against Repubs...

Right she's like Hillary without the power and money part. I'm sure it will work out fine. ;D

From a Fox interview from earlier...
Interviewer: Mr. President, Elizabeth Warren announced her candidacy and says she’s in it for the long haul and believes she can win. What do you have to say about that?
President Trump: I’m not sure, you’re going to have to ask her psychiatrist 😂😂😂😂

This is where she holds her “Town Hall” meeting, and she has the nerve to go on about what is in her mind a racist justice system.

Elizabeth Warren 2020. Muh Racism. Muh Big Banks.
All with a good dash of phoniness and insufferable smug Northeastern academic leftism thrown in for good measure.
Yeah good luck with that message going against Trump and the Electoral College.

She will get crushed if she is the nominee. Horrible candidate.

Politicos: Elizabeth Warren beer video all flat
(https://media.breitbart.com/media/2019/01/elizabeth-warren-beer-instagram.jpg)
(https://static.westernjournal.com/ct/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Elizabeth-Warren-beer.jpg)
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s livestreamed New Year’s Eve chat — featuring the former Harvard prof cracking and swigging a beer — is being widely panned as inauthentic pandering, with some political operatives calling it a desperate effort to compete with young contenders.
“It’s called ‘pulling a Beto,'” Democratic consultant Scott Ferson chuckled, referring to up-and-coming progressive Beto O’Rourke, a possible 2020 rival of Warren.
Younger candidates such as O’Rourke — who lost the Senate Texas race but won a national following on the left — and U.S. Rep.-elect Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have made effective use of video on social media to raise their profiles in short order and become progressive darlings.
Warren became the first high-profile Democrat to take a formal step toward a 2020 race Monday when she announced her exploratory committee, first with a video promoting her progressive populist message in the morning, and then talking to reporters in the afternoon as her husband and golden retriever looked on. Later, as the final hours of 2018 ticked away, Warren fired up Instagram to speak directly to her fans in a livestream, pausing to grab a beer, and at one point doing some cooking.
But Ferson and others noted that the 69-year-old Warren has not been known for the down home, digital fireside chat approach, and it seemed contrived.
“She’s never really made this type of appeal,” GOP strategist Ryan Williams agreed. “She’s nervous about newer younger faces in the Democratic party. She’s making a pretty desperate attempt to make it look like she’s cool.”
“Elizabeth Warren seems more like a chardonnay senator than a beer senator,” quipped Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University politics professor who was a longtime Democratic communications specialist. “It’s just sort of trying too hard … and people have pretty good radar for that sort of thing.”

She's like that older, divorced, Volvo driving neighbor lady with the Great Pyrenees dog...the one you can't talk to without her mentioning she grew up with a nanny...you know the one.
-
I really admire her accomplishments up to a point, but I despise her politics. Same with Charlie Rangel.

Warren 2020
Make America Kill and Scalp White Men Again

The difference is that Rangel has a personality.

Bringing up your own issues in a thread completely unrelated to you and noone has mentioned you in and he is the obsessive one?

Warren’s trip to Iowa tests themes for a likely 2020 run
(https://storage.googleapis.com/afs-prod/media/media:2ccc73ea52eb4b218f223285aa509bd9/3000.jpeg)
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is introducing herself to influential Iowa Democrats by telling her personal story of economic opportunity, trying to lay claim in the emerging 2020 presidential field as a champion for a middle class she says is withering under President Donald Trump.
On her first full day of campaigning in the kickoff caucus state, Warren said her mother’s minimum-wage job saved her family when Warren was a child, and enabled Warren’s career as a teacher, professor and now senator considering a presidential run.
“Today a minimum wage job in America full time will not keep a momma and a baby out of poverty,” Warren said at a rally in Sioux City. “And it is wrong, and that’s why I’m in this fight.”
A leading Democrat in the Senate, Warren has made a name for herself as an advocate for consumer protection and become a regular target of President Donald Trump. But her Iowa debut, beginning Friday evening and continuing across the state Saturday, offered the first glimpse of what she may look like as a 2020 candidate.
In this working-class city on Iowa’s western edge, Warren promoted an increased government role in assuring economic fairness.
“A lot of decisions that are made in far-off Washington are decisions that help the wealthy and the well-connected and leave everyone else behind,” she said. “We need to make structural change. Big change. We need to think big, fight hard.”
Warren strayed little from the theme during her short speech and question-and-answer session. More than 400 people crammed into the lobby of an ornately restored downtown theater for her appearance.
Even when Sioux City Democrat Tricia Currans-Sheehan asked her why she submitted to a DNA test after Trump questioned Warren’s claim of Native American ancestry, Warren shifted back to middle-class economics.
The test results suggested Warren could have had a Native American ancestor many generations ago, which she described as the difference between ancestry and having a connection to a tribe, something Warren says she never claimed.
Trying to stick to her message, she said, “What 2020 is going to be about is not about my family. It’s about the tens of millions of families across this country who just want a level playing field.”

So shenanigans were called on her in October last year, and she has now officially apologized a few weeks after declaring she's running for POTUS? Seems sincere. :-X
Imagine if she were to win. No one,....not even her supporters would look at the abbreviation of POTUS the same way while she was in office. Can you imagine the shit storm of Tweets that a private citizen and ex-POTUS Trump would unleash on her daily. Part of me would welcome it, as every day of my life for at least four straight years would start with a good laugh!

Kamala Harris blocked me on twitter. :D
Since a court decided that Trump blocking or muting users on his Twitter violates the First Amendment, the same standard should (but naturally won't) apply for other officials such as Kamala Harris.
