WE HAVE WAITED SO LONG FOR THIS GREAT MOMENT – AT 2:18 P.M. ET:  We want her.  We yearn for her.  The nation cannot do without her.  And now we learn that we may indeed get the chance to have her as our guide and mentor.  I weep for joy.  And I am kidding.  From Daily Beast: 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), one of the most high-profile progressives in the U.S. Senate, said Saturday that she will seriously consider a presidential run after November’s midterm elections.

“Let’s face it, Donald Trump is taking this country in the wrong direction,” Warren told an audience member at a town hall in Holyoke, Massachusetts, according to remarks sent to The Daily Beast by a spokesperson.

“Working people have taken one punch to the gut after another,” she continued. “And I am worried down to my bones about what Donald Trump is doing to our democracy.”

Warren told the group that Washington was broken long before Donald Trump came to town but added that it has “gotten a whole lot worse” going on to express her outrage at hearings Thursday over sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

“And then this week, I watched 11 men who were too chicken to ask a woman a single question,” she added. “I watched as Brett Kavanaugh acted like he was entitled to that position and angry at anyone who would question him. I watched powerful men helping a powerful man make it to an even more powerful position.”

COMMENT:  Yup, we sure need that level of intellect.  And that level of civility.  What will we do if our Lizzy doesn't come to save us?
