Warren in Minnesota: ‘The game is rigged, and the Republicans rigged it’

"The game is rigged, and the Republicans rigged it," Warren said to loud cheers.

"She's amazing. She shows that politics is a good thing," said Rachel Palermo, 21, a senior at neighboring St. Olaf College. Some of her friends said they attended the rally just to see Warren.

Palermo and her friends said they want Warren to run for president, but Alyssa Berg, 21, also a St. Olaf senior, noted it would be "counterproductive" for Warren to run against Hillary Rodham Clinton.

They settled on them running together as a ticket -- it's uncertain whether they prefer Warren or Clinton atop such a ticket.

Warren has declined past overtures at challenging Clinton in 2016, and she made no mention of any national ambition, but the crowd reaction cemented the impression that she is atop the list of sought-after speakers to energize liberal voters.

"She's a rock star," Franken told reporters afterward, declining to comment on whether she should consider national campaign.
