An exploratory committee is not necessarily politico-speak.
It means that you have shown real interest in the possibility
of being president. Now, it's time to find out how much of a
reality it may become. If enough of the money isn't flowing
your way (unfortunately) in order to make it worthwhile to run
or if, for instance, you find that the media bashing is not something
you could potentially put up with in the long run, then you don't
officially announce your run for President later.

"In the election politics of the United States, an exploratory committee is an organization established to help determine whether a potential candidate should run for an elected office. They are most often cited in reference to United States Presidential hopefuls prior to the primaries."

Warren has the smarts, but she has terrible timing in just about everything she does
and I'm afraid that could be her downfall - even before she's gotten up.

I still think the ripping on Warren for talking about her native heritage is weird and not some super diss

she is one of really only a handful of senators in decades that names the enemy, that says directly it is the donors, Wall St., the rich and powerful that are screwing you

Because of that, I can simply disagree with her love of capitalism and markets, knowing ultimately she has still been a positive influence in politics

weirdly Warren should be someone that Anteater loves, based on everything he's said to this point

she was a Republican because she ultimately wants to preserve free markets, when she saw conservatives were not so much capitalists as much as traditional authoritarians who were going to crash the markets over and over, she moved into being a Democrat

I thought voting is evil and Democrats and Republicans are the same anyway

I'm not sure how you can make this a litmus test if you don't support voting altogether
