The Boston Globe is ready for Hillary … to face Elizabeth Warren as a challenger.
The liberal newspaper published an editorial Sunday that urges Sen. Warren (D-Mass.) to run opposite Hillary Clinton the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, joining an increasingly loud chorus encouraging a Warren White House bid amid unsavory Hillary gaffes and scandals.
The Globe writes:
The clock is ticking: Presidential candidates need to hire staff, raise money, and build a campaign operation. Although Clinton hasn’t officially declared her candidacy, she’s scooping up support from key party bigwigs and donors, who are working to impose a sense of inevitability about her nomination. Unfortunately, the strategy’s working: Few candidates are coming off the Democrats’ depleted bench to challenge Clinton.
The editorial goes on to allege that Clinton would at the least “benefit from a challenger” and that Warren would prevent the former secretary of State from “waltzing to the nomination.”
As if an editorial wasn’t enough, the paper also published a column over the weekend written by executive director of MoveOn.org Anna Galland that begs Warren to run for the White House.
“Our country will be better off if she does,” Galland declares in the piece.
A Warren presidential bid would undoubtedly ease the desperation currently felt for a successful Hillary Clinton candidacy, though Democrats would still be grossly outnumbered by the vast quantity of candidates on the Republican bench.
