In reply to the discussion: Sirota: Warren not interested in ‘Hillary Clinton model’ of sitting down and shutting up \ [View all]stevenleser
(32,886 posts)117. Well said, I like Elizabeth Warren, and I think she might be a good Pres candidate one day.
But she will not be anywhere near as competent and experienced as Hillary Clinton on January 21st 2017. There will be no comparison between the two in that regard.
There was a comparison between Hillary and Obama in 2008, they both were very lightly experienced.
