You know how I keep saying like I'm a 6-second Vine running on a loop to infinity that it's really gross the way Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren are being talked to and about regarding possible presidential runs?

Proving the point:

Elizabeth Warren insists she has no interest in running for president in 2016, but the rich liberals to whom she spoke Thursday afternoon seemed unwilling to take 'no' for an answer.

That is the opening paragraph to an article at Politico, a mainstream political magazine.

I understand that potential presidential contenders need to know if there is support for a candidacy. I get how politics works. And I still find it deeply objectionable that I have read no fewer than three dozen stories in the last year or so about one of two female candidates being told that "no" is not an acceptable answer.
