(57,936 posts)life miserable for the corrupt Republicans in his party. At least there is a strong argument for that assertion. Teddy Roosevelt was a problem. The vice presidency was a nothing job.
Teddy Roosevelt ended up being the president and turning the country around. He was stubborn, extremely intelligent and well educated and a fighter.
We need someone like Teddy Roosevelt right now.
And finding him may be a matter of serendipity. Being a runner up in the 2016 race could be a good thing.
Anything can happen now. Scandals are afoot. The world, including the political world is in a state of flux. A number of issues and facts could bring unexpected results.
So I am staying open to the possibility that we could get a Bernie Sanders or an Elizabeth Warren no matter how plump and pretty Hillary's war chest is.
These are strange times. And in strange times, anything can happen.
The middle class is discontent and for good reason.
Jim Webb, Schweitzer -- no way. They just don't cut it. And it is time for a woman.
Elizabeth Warren does not think like a Barack Obama or a Jim Webb. She doesn't really think she could be elected. She could. She probably will no matter how reluctant she is to run now.
Our government is so corrupt, and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are two rare politicians who are not part of the corruption.
So, anything can happen.
