Don Quixote Was a Realist 0

I am receiving emails from folks who, thanks to an offhand remark by Jon Stewart, call themselves the “Warren Wing” and want to browbeat Senator Elizabeth Warren into running for the Democratic nomination for President.

Senator Warren has repeatedly declared that she does not want and will not run for the nomination. Who the hell are they to question that?

Also, as a practical political consideration, she can likely do more good as a Senator for many years than she can do as a President for no more then eight. Furthermore, browbeating is seldom a propitious tactic.

I suggest that the “Warren Wing” grow up, live in the Real World where real stuff gets done, and stop tilting at windmills.

Furrfu.

Afterthought:

One of the failings of many of my fellow lefties is the notion that the only election that matters is the Presidential election. This bunch should go “Warren Wing” themselves a few state legislatures and learn how stuff works.

Finally, this is website is a hobby.
