Looks Like Elizabeth Warren Might Be Running for President After All

Federal Reserve Hearing

It might not be in this election, but it does look like she’s getting ready for it.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren is traveling to the Middle East countries, her first trip abroad as a senator.

The Massachusetts Democrat met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Monday in Tel Aviv, according to the Jerusalem Post. She then attended the Knesset — the Israeli legislature — before meeting with other Israel officials.

Warren, who arrived in Israel Saturday, is expected to meet with Israeli, Palestinian and United Nation officials in the region, while traveling to both the West Bank and Jordan, according to the Boston Globe.

Israel isn’t exactly Warren’s beat. The last time she made headlines was when she was tricked by fake Holocaust survivor Eva Steiner Moseley into endorsing Hamas. It wasn’t really Warren’s fault since she didn’t have enough knowledge to understand the tricky question Eva asked.

Usually Elizabeth Warren sticks to fake threats against Wall Street that play well with her supporters without actually meaning anything. She might be getting nervous about 2018  another midterm election with the “wrong” electorate where Republicans have been doing a little too well lately. It’s entirely possible that Warren might lose in 2018, but it’s also a little premature for her to be worrying about it right now.

2016 is nearer though and if Warren is going to run, the Middle East, particularly Israel is part of the grand tour. Presidential candidates make the usual visits, nod knowingly and then have a story to tell that emphasizes their international experience while appealing to Jewish voters.

The visit suggests that Warren may have presidential ambitions.

    Well, the only thing she’ll really accomplish is to act as the female über-liberal foil to a more “moderate” Hillary. That might actually be the master plan, time will tell.

    But I’m not sure it’ll help much. I think America will listen to these two shrews and conclude that after eight years of a narcissistic, know-it-all metro-sexual the last thing we need is to go all the way to a nannyish, finger wagging, grandmotherly scold.

    In 2016 Warren will be 67. If not now it will be never. It would be fun to watch Hillary’s head explode at the prospect however. Another nobody coming out of nowhere to kick her to the curb.

      The media kicked Hillary to the curb. They chose the half black guy over the coattail rider.

    So, Elizabeth Warren will suddenly discover that she is 1/32nd Jewish, and try to run for President of Israel? If elected, she would be the first non-Cherokee, non-Jewish President of Israel, ever.

    Run, Lizzie, run! The farther Left she pulls the Democratic Party, the worse their chances for victory in 2016: on election day, blacks will stay home and independent voters—even women—will turn their backs. So, run, Lizzie, by all means, RUN!

      I’m hoping for a classic Democratic firing squad: Clinton, Warren, Jerry Brown, Biden, O’Malley, Guttierez and any other wannabes arrayed in a circle taking potshots at each other.

    If we’re lucky Warren and her constituents will splinter off into a third party and siphon off some Democrat votes. Divide and conquer.
