Although I have my fair share of gripes with this president, I don't think it's fair to presume that a more "liberal" politician would be elected or be able to govern without compromising on some issues. A number of liberals believe that Sanders, Warren, or Grayson need to run in 2016 and restore progressiveism. I respect all three of those congressional members immensely. However, out of those 3 names, I feel as if Warren is the only one that could really have a chance in a presidential election, and even then, I think some view her as being more liberal than she actually is.
