Though she ended the speculation about 2020 a couple of months ago when she was on with Jimmy Kimmel and said she's running for Senate this fall, and that's it. She is just the best and we really need her in the Senate.

That is what we need in a presidential candidate. I haven't seen any other potential presidential candidate who can excite voters like she does, no other candidate other than Bernie Sanders.

Who would you support for the presidential nomination?

Does that person have stories that win elections?

Because it is stories that win elections.

We need a good story-teller, someone whose ideas incorporated into stories people understand, excite masses of people, either physical crowds or individual voters.

Nominating the most boring candidate will not win us the White House.

Elizabeth Warren is exciting, not boring.

I'd vote for her for anything. But when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel's show back in May, she said she's only running for Senate this fall, not for president. It was another great interview, no big surprise:

Jimmy Kimmel: Guest Senator Elizabeth Warren on Health Care & Minimum Wage
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017490334

Senator Warren talks about getting her fighting spirit from her mom, how hard it is to live off of minimum wage in America, Donald Trump’s inauguration, the fight to bring health care to all Americans, why calling your representatives is important, and reveals whether or not she’s running for president.

But we also need effective and proactive leaders in the Senate - we need more like her!
