The Answer to Hillary Clinton's 'Emailgate': Vote Senator Elizabeth Warren in 2016
5/6/2015

Hillary Clinton is perhaps unfairly being targeted for using a private email account as a government employee. Or, as some conservatives might believe, she indeed broke the law. Nonetheless, this is only the beginning in a long series of potential scandals that the former Secretary of State will have to endure on the road to the White House. With each scandal, whether it's the Republican infatuation with Benghazi (that conveniently ignores their lack of oversight on 9/11) or an even older issue like Whitewater, the GOP has their sights set on destroying any chance of another Clinton presidency.

However, there's an alternative to constantly defending Hillary Clinton from real or fabricated accusations and controversies. Her name is Senator Elizabeth Warren. She's the answer not only to 'Emailgate,' but also to any other potential firestorms surrounding Team Hillary in the next two years.

Warren is a fresh, new, and vibrant politician whose integrity has never been questioned. She's a greater force in the Democratic Party than Barack Obama was two years before he became president and Democrats everywhere respect her focus on middle class issues, as well as her economic prowess. If you vote Elizabeth Warren in 2016, you'll know that Jeb Bush won't have a treasure chest of political arrows to throw at this member of the Senate banking, housing, and urban affairs committees.

Most importantly, Elizabeth Warren can be the foil to any GOP dart board with Hillary Clinton's face; Senator Warren doesn't have a Benghazi or Whitewater in her past. The Massachusetts Senator also doesn't have a potentially grave offense linked to emails. According to a POLITICO article titled Clinton private email violated 'clear-cut' State Dept. rules, the former New York Senator might have broken serious protocol:....

Well, this is a no-brainer.

Let's hope she decides to jump in after all! *President Elizabeth Warren*

Run Liz Run!!

1. Perhaps the Warren backers could spend time giving reasons why

Warren deserves a look. The corporate talk does not make the cut since she is right in on taking money from corporations. Give her a well rounded look on her abilities to handle the job as president. Show her foreign affairs ability. Show her security ability. Show her ability to keep this country safe. Too much time is spend running down Hillary with propaganda and Hillary has the record to show the propaganda is false. Get a record going for Warren, she can never get elected on trying to downplay another candidate.

2. Perhaps the Warren backers need to understand which part of Warren is not going to run they do not

understand

4. I disagree with everything you wrote.

Go post it in the Hillary Group.

Or I can ban you here. This is a safe haven. You want to argue that? Please start an OP in the GD & argue away.

3. How do you draft her? Maybe she needs to make a decision right now and say

that there is no way she is running or not.

I read somewhere that she hates campaigning, maybe that plays into this.

Remember, running for President is probably the toughest physical and mental job in the world...

Because it is all day, everyday, for 2 years.

Crab fisher-persons in Alaska get days off, weeks off.

Now, to be fair to her, she has already said that she is not running, period.

5. Maybe we need to note that an OP is in the Warren group, in the heading.

Because surely Hillary supporters would not deliberately post their Hillary cheer-leading stuff in the Warren group, right?

6. Done. Good idea.

Should have thought of that before posting a lightening rod for Hillary's...supporters. Struck a nerve quickly!!
