Fine, I'll say it- Team Hillary is TERRIFIED of Elizabeth Warren

rightfully, and we will be hearing silly stuff about Hillary's inevitability until the campaign actually begins.
terrified that they will be eating their empty words before this is over.
Warren is going to cut her candidacy into little pieces, and she already has made a very good start there.
behind those bold bluffs- stark terror.

OTOH, based on what I've seen so far (and I do like her) Warren doesn't look like she'll do very well on the campaign trail next to Clinton. We'll see, but I don't think so. Her message is right, but delivery counts at least as much. Someone who knows what they're doing needs to work on her.

She is already supporting cerulean canines just because they're Democrats, and we badly need to maintain or attain at least nominal majorities in both houses.

Beyond that, I just don't see her on her own initiative launching a campaign against Hillary.

I do think such a campaign might be possible, first, if Hill doesn't run, or second, if Hillary's corporatism looks like it's making enough trouble for her with the base to cost the election, AND a major draft Liz movement happens.
