She would do well to spend some time as a senator.

In this climate, putting her on the presidential ticket is just what the GOP ordered. She is a woman. She is not white. And she stands far to the left. We would be crucified.

Someday she will be an outstanding candidate, but running too early will sully her name for the future.

Something we really need to remember in the primaries. 'Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.'
