Boston Globe Urges Elizabeth Warren To Run For President
In its call for Warren to run, the Globe editorial board said that Democrats would be "making a big mistake" if they let Hillary Clinton get the party's nomination running unopposed.
"Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren can make sure that doesn’t happen. While Warren has repeatedly vowed that she won’t run for president herself, she ought to reconsider. And if Warren sticks to her refusal, she should make it her responsibility to help recruit candidates to provide voters with a vigorous debate on her signature cause, reducing income inequality, over the next year," the editorial board wrote.
The paper also dismissed other Democrats who are mulling a bid against Clinton, like former Sen. Jim Webb (Va.) and former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, saying that they did not represent "top-tier candidates." Warren, the paper suggested, could position herself as an alternative to Clinton.
"The Democratic Party finds itself with some serious divides that ought to be settled by the electorate. Some are clear-cut policy differences, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an enormous free-trade agreement with Pacific Rim nations that Warren opposes and Clinton backs," the editorial board wrote. "Even in areas where the candidates agree, there are bound to be different priorities: It’s hard to imagine a President Clinton defending and enforcing the Dodd-Frank legislation with as much vigor as a President Warren, for instance."

So what issues would you vote for?
= new reply since forum marked as read
I'm like Sergeant Schultz from Hogan's Heroes -- I know nuffing, I know nuffing!
This is how a democracy should be, having newspapers come out in there editorials supporting a candidate like Elizabeth Warren who knows what we the public need to help sustain ourselves and the country from the oligarpghy and from those that think 900 million or 1 BILLION can buy a election and the courts.
I will do what ever I can to have her run and I agree she should help a progressive change this culture that in elections there is the anointed.
We need a FDR style candidate and a Francis Perkins mentality to take back this country, from the billionaires and millionaires and the suckers that support the millionaires and billionaires.
This election is about the U.S. Supreme Court 
HRC the inevitable.
I forgot about that and HRC's terrific ability
to connect with people.
Mea maxima culpa!
Plus... Although issues are of utmost importance...
There's an old political saw that says...
When you elect a President, you are inviting them into your living room for the next 4 to 8 years.
Probably started with FDR and the age of radio, but definitely true in the age of television.
And after 12 years of Bushes, and 8 years of Clintons...
Well let's just say that both families may have over-stayed their visits.
Hillary having debates with fellow Dems would sharpen her skills, and straighten out any kinks in her arguments BEFORE the General Election.
You disagreee I take it.
('Course if she does change her mind, it would be infinitely better politically to announce after Hillary does. We can wait a bit.
