'I think I just became pro dictatorship': Netroots lefties beg Elizabeth Warren to run for president

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, aka “Fauxcahontas,” gave a speech to an excited bunch of left-wingers at the Netroots convention in Detroit.

Warren was the rock star of the convention of “progressives” so far:

Three big cheers for @SenWarren, who just rocked Netroots Nation in Detroit. No one has ever been more enthusiastically received here. #nn14

Step aside, Hillary, because many Netroots lefties are begging Warren to run for president:

All the Warren for president signs are as big a story as the stump speech itself. #NN14 pic.twitter.com/LLHckM4PGe

Actor Mark Ruffalo, who has joined Greenpeace in a Hulk-like protest against Lego, was also in the house:

Mark Ruffalo just followed Elizabeth Warren. How can you not run for president when you're endorsed by the Hulk? #NN14

Uh huh.

One witness to Warren’s address found it particularly inspiring and gave her speech high Marx:

Almost too much to hope this hero could run the executive. Then God would truly bless America. #warren #nn14
