It's way too soon,

but "never" is on the horizon. I'd like a couple of tickets, none of which have relatives in previous administrations....

Dean & Grayson
Grayson & Dean, Warren Secy of Treasury
Dean & Durbin, Warren, Secy of Treasury, Dean Surgeon General
Warren & Grayson, Dean, Secy of Health
Warren, Atty. General
Biden - not sure of where, but up there somewhere, Chief Advisor maybe..

I need to see these people in more powerful positions.

She isn't that popular here in DU, and many Dems don't have computers and follow the news everyday. As more and more comes out in the Rep ads, her chances will dwindle as the voters knowledge increases...

As a personal aside, I really can't listen to her speak. She talks too slow and deliberate and by the time she finishes a sentence I forget how the sentence started, and when she's done with the sentence I can't seem to see the substance of it. That is my fault tho because I am not very smart, not hers, because she is brilliant, sort of,.. kind of,... a little...

And when I see the substance of it, I recognize the thought as one that is several weeks too late, having been put out by others and when proven to be popular, then is articulated by her. of....a little .....

And I am concerned by the wink-wink-nudge-nudge between her ladyship and Netanyahu when she had announced her leaving State and he hoping to see her in another position. What the hell did she promise him? I have heard others say that she has never met a war she didn't like. I don't see him courting other Dems, even Obama.

Hang around longer and you'll see all kinds of goofy stuff.

Enjoy it and forget about understanding it. I don't know what almost everyone is talking about all the time, including me.

... foreign policy knowledge/background/experience under his/her belt.

Warren has none and is not NOT loading up her resume` for a run in 2016.
for a run in 2016.

Compare Warren's committees to those of Obama when he was in the U.S. Senate...

Senator Warren's committees: Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, Special Committee on Aging
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_warren#Committee_assignments

Senator Obama's committees
Obama held assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations, Environment and Public Works and Veterans' Affairs through December 2006.[89] In January 2007, he left the Environment and Public Works committee and took additional assignments with Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. He also became Chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. He met with Mahmoud Abbas before Abbas became President of the Palestinian National Authority, and gave a speech at the University of Nairobi in which he condemned corruption within the Kenyan government.

I love listening to Warren. She is original, vibrant, enthusiastic and fiery. She makes her criticisms and ideas contagious. She is never boring, and she learns fast as hell...

But what moneymen will support somebody for the presidency who is not addicted to bankers and stockbrokers and their ilk? THAT is her real problem. She'd be a firebrand as a Vice-President to run with a man who might be too old to run again in 2020.

As far as foreign affairs go, America's finances are tied to every currency in the world, and that is no small thing to consider in a Warren presidency....
