Popular Sen. Elizabeth Warren, still being urged to run for president, is calling Republican White House hopefuls Sen. Ted Cruz and front-runner Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker "scary," two potential presidents that could undo a decade of Democratic policies.
"Just the thought of a possible President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker is scary," she warned in an email to supporters.
"But here's something even scarier: A President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker with a Republican-controlled Senate confirming extremist judges, repealing health care and financial reform, and rigging the system even further for the rich and the powerful," she added in a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
Some polls show the Democrats falling short of expectations of taking control of the Senate in 2016, and Warren is one of the party's stars in the chamber.
Her warning focused on the possibility of a GOP president and Congress making major changes after the election, much the way President Obama and congressional Democrats used their control of Washington to push through Obamacare and several stimulus programs.
She also conceded that "2014 was a bad year for Democrats" when they lost control of the Senate. She blamed a lack of fundraising and apparently weak campaigns, noting that successors worked overtime to win.
Her email:

That's why I'm committed to working with the DSCC to take back the Senate in 2016.
But this effort will take more than just me. It will take you, too. So please, will you pitch in $3 before the deadline in 9 hours?
There's no way to sugarcoat this: 2014 was a bad year for Democrats. We just couldn't compete with the obscene amounts of money that Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spent to smear our vulnerable Democrats on the airwaves at the last minute.
But despite the final tally, there was some hope, too. Some of our toughest Democratic fighters won their 2014 races, and won them big: Al Franken, Jeff Merkley, and Jeanne Shaheen.
How did they do it? They got out there early and talked about what we believe in. And they had early support from people like you to build the grassroots campaigns they needed to win.
The Republican Super PACs are probably feeling unstoppable right now. They think they've figured it all out and can repeat 2014 all over again. But we know the secret of how to stop them: We do it together.
I know from my own Senate campaign that if we all stand up and fight, we can defeat even the most powerful special interests. Will you pitch in $3 today to join me and help Democrats take back the Senate?
Thank you,
Elizabeth Warren
Not Rubio, Bush or Christie? LOL
They won’t have her. They know she’s a fraud.
Flip houses, make wigwam.
Let us hope President Cruz scares the Warrens of the world enough to leave!
Garbage has another name
Warren reminds me of Nazi Germany 1939. I guess it’s all how you view the world.
Cruz, Walker or Paul might actually change things in ways in which Bush, Christie, Rubio, Graham and a dozen others candidates for the uniparty won't even seriously try. And that scares the crap out of the Democrats and the GOPe.
What’s scary is the fact that this left-wing fake squaw is a U.S. Senator.
“but the electorate would reject her without a second thought.”
Exactly like they did with Obunghole twice
nominate stiffs, and anything can happen.
Wait you are serious, that they are scary? No, President Clinton or President Sanders are SCARY!!!
Thank you very much for assuring me that my choice of Walker is the right one....I have no idea in the world why Warren has any credibility whatsoever.....she lied to get where she is and her ideas are to the left of Putin....
She has more money than the entire Republican Field combined.
