Yahoo News Will Elizabeth Warren challenge Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination in 2016? That's what some observers in Washington are wondering, after a profile of the Massachusetts senator published by the New Republic on Sunday ("Hillary's Nightmare?") takes a hard look at the possibility of a Warren run for the White House. “Yeah, Hillary is running," a former Warren aide told the magazine. “And she’ll probably win. But Elizabeth doesn’t care about winning. She doesn’t care whose turn it is.” Earlier this year, Warren co-signed a letter with other Senate Democratic women urging the former first lady, senator and secretary of state to run in 2016. But she sidestepped a direct question from the New Republic's Noam Scheiber about the possibility of taking on Clinton in 2016. “You’ve asked me about the politics,” Warren said. “All I can do is take you back to the principle part of this. ... I know what I am in Washington to do: I’m here to fight for hard-working families.” Most insiders say Clinton would be an overwhelming favorite against any Democratic primary opponent. One far-too-early poll released in July showed Clinton holds a 48-point lead over Vice President Joe Biden and a 50-point advantage over Warren among Iowa Democrats. However, former aides say the former Harvard law professor would be undeterred by polls. “She has an immense — I can’t put it in words — a sense of destiny,” one said. “If Hillary or the man on the moon is not representing her stuff and her people don’t have a seat at table, she’ll do what she can to make sure it’s represented.” Scheiber lays out Clinton's "nightmare" like this: Any candidate who challenged Clinton would need several key assets. The candidate would almost certainly have to be a woman, given Democrats’ desire to make history again. She would have to amass huge piles of money with relatively little effort. Above all, she would have to awaken in Democratic voters an almost evangelical passion. As it happens, there is precisely such a person. Her name is Elizabeth Warren. Reminder: The first votes that count in the 2016 presidential campaign, the Iowa caususes, are scheduled for early January 2016. ..

In the grand "scheme" of things 2016 seems like awfully far off, especially with the shelf life of a pantsuit. I say she only enters the race to 1. grab a bunch of cash, and 2. position Web's daughter for a political future. In the grand "scheme" of things.... will it even matter?

Don't under estimate HildaBeast's ambition and need for power. She's got lots of $ and the daughter is already positioned for a political future by virtue of the Clinton name. Hildabeast didn't swallow her pride and serve the Kenyan Nincompoop for 4 long years as his Secty of State for nuthin'. It was all about mending fences and building bridges to Mr. Dumb Ass's wing of the Demrat Party so she has them on her side in 2016. 2016 seems like awfully far off, especially with the shelf life of a pantsuit
