Ever since the end of the 2016 election, many have thought that Senator Elizabeth Warren would be a potential front-runner for 2020. After all, after Bernie nearly won it only makes sense that the second most progressive Senator should give it a shot. Heck, after Hillary Clinton it seems like more women should give it a shot.
This theory is also helped by her introducing a bill that would help regulate money in politics. If you remember, that was Bernie Sander's main campaign promise. Along with universal healthcare and college, both of which Warren also supports.
However, could Warren beat, not only Donnie but also the other Democrats? The answer is a giant maybe.
First off, in order for this to work, Bernie cannot run. Progressives prefer Bernie to Warren over 4 times over. This is mainly because, to her own fault, Warren backed Hillary over Bernie. This is something that just can't be ignored.
Here's another fact: In order for Warren to win, no conservative Democrats must run. Why is that? Because of the fact that conservative Democrats are still angry at Warren because she's part of the "Bernie wing" despite never backing Bernie.
That's what makes Warren's run for president a particularly low shot. She's in that award place where, while she is far from a centrist, she cannot survive anyone other than her running for president.
Between the 4 most likely 2020 Democrats [Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Eric Holder, and Elizbeth Warren] Warren is clearly the longest shot. Mind you, that doesn't make her the worst candidate. In fact, her being president wouldn't be something I'm against. However, I'm just calling it as I see it.
