That's Hillary Clinton. She ran for President eight years ago and got second. She'd be a historic candidate as the first woman to be nominated, and potentially elected President. She's the most vetted candidate in the world. She's fought for progressive causes like civil rights and health care her entire career. She's qualified to represent the United States around the globe. She's just the right choice.
I understand that on the left, there are some misgivings with Hillary after nearly 40 years in public. I get that there's a want to push the debate left. Those are both fine with me. That's no reason to go blowing up our best candidate with a hard-left alternative that pushes her and the party far away from the policy programs that got her here.
If we want the victories of the Obama Administration to be held up in the next administration, we have to win the 2016 election. Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to do that. If Hillary does not run for President, I'm totally open to Elizabeth Warren being a candidate. If Hillary Clinton does run for President, a Warren candidacy will not help the party. We don't always need a left-challenger in a primary. In 2016, we don't need a left-challenger. I'm ready for Hillary, because she's the right candidate for the time.
