So does anyone have an insight on this Donna Brazile attack on Hilary? Now she is peddling back!:

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/07/politics/donna-brazile-2016-primary/index.html

but that's after after she dedicated her book to Seth Rich, a DNC staffer murdered and center of many right-leaning conspiracy theories, which will certainly go to town now.

Is this one of the events that lead to Sanders and Warrens rising?

Is this the beginning of the end of the 2 party system (I think the US could use a party that represents actual leftist values some of which Bernie represents, the DNC is pretty much centrist)? I have so many questions....

From the moment I heard about this, I though that there's something we're not being told.  There is something personal that she's not disclosing.  This feels very personal to me.  I think she might have felt mistreated but the Clinton campaign, and may have interpreted the treatment as racially biased (which could be completely legitimate).  But this is what I got from the start.  There is something else here that's a back story and we're not hearing it.

Sanders is thinking about 2020"

"Over three dozen Democrats are currently considering running to challenge Trump, making the potential primary unpredictable. But if Sanders were to opt for a run, the field would likely shape itself around him — and he would find himself a target — as it might also for his fellow co-favorites, former Vice President Joe Biden and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren."

I am not a person who necessarily sees visions, but have felt a connection to the spiritual world before.
I get a feeling that Bernie could be the Democratic nominee in 2020, with Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris. Either way, I think Kamala Harris will play a big role in a Sanders admin if it happens. I also see change coming, Millenials and Gen Z will help create the change, along with older Progressives. I don't think that if Bernie wins he will be able to do everything, I see him raising the minimum wage to $15 per hour, and rebuilding services like Social Security. I see him taking a lot of Climate action, but maybe not a Green New Deal. I am unsure about Medicare for All.

Hi all, you are Americans so probably heard it first, but Warren is running in 2020.

Yes she is looking into it

https://www-m.cnn.com/2018/12/31/politics/elizabeth-warren-exploratory-committee-2020/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cnn.com%2F

Does that mean she is most likely going to run?

DcD, Probably but not necessarily.

How it works involves a lot of strategic planning often way in advance to "test the waters" and check out other potential candidates,  their own chances for success and most of all the kind amount of fundraising that seems available which they often base on expressions of interest in their candidacy.

The calculation varies depending on the candidate: Lesser-known Democrats could try to generate publicity by moving first, while more established contenders, such as former Vice President Joe Biden or Sen. Bernie Sanders could likely afford to wait.

Every candidate will measure the implications of an announcement’s timing on how it will affect their ability to raise money.

As this article in Politico says:

"Expect the following two months to bring a rash of exploratory committees, a stutter step allowing candidates to begin fundraising and forming a campaign infrastructure.

By “testing the waters,” in Federal Elections Commission parlance, a candidate can avoid reporting fundraising until after they formally announce."

I am not excited by the fact that if she runs, our Republican governor, Charlie Baker, will be choosing her replacement in the Senate.  He endorsed an ultra right Trumper who ran against her last November.

I don't know but I don't see her running. She might be testing the water to see the kind of feedback she will receive with the voters. For one she reminds me too much of Hillary Clinton and we already saw what happened. It has to be someone stronger. I don't know why but I keep thinking a black hair women.
