There is nothing extreme about Warren. She is to the right of FDR and JFK.

You'd think that the Democrats would have learned about using identity politics without substance.

If Hillary couldn't win it with her pedigree, I don't know where in the world they get the idea that EW could.
Its not about pedigree. Its about the issues and who's side you are on. Are you on the side of Wall Street, special interests and the big money donor class, or are you on the side of the people. Warren is on the side of the people.

So she says.....her actions said otherwise.

Warren is fine just where she is - the senate.

She's a good articulate rabble-rouser who speaks up in support of the public interest.

I don't think she'd be particularly good as a prez candidate.

That's how they roll on the left. Never any introspection or acknowledgment that they need to change--except to get more radical.

I guess they didn't get the message.


If the dems became the party of the middle class and the working citizens (instead of the party of the illegals, Wall Street, and freaks), they would win every election.


Take home message:


Support and pass LEGISLATION AND TRADE POLICY (not empty promises) that helps the middle class primarily and does not pander to non citizens.

As a former Baystater, I fully agree with your assessment of Fauxahontas.

My fear is that the Trump presidency will damage the Republican Party by association/affiliation so seriously that it will be a long time before the GOP can retake any of the branches of government back, much less the Presidency. I had hopes for Trump when I heard his reconciliatory speech after the election; but I have been not been impressed by his actions since then. I worry that the Democrats will retake the Senate in two years, possibly the House as well; and then there will be gridlock for another two years and probably a Democratic president in 2020; and I certainly hope, for the sake of my retirement, as well as the future of this country, that it isn't Warren.

Then again, I thought that Hillary would win; so my political judgment is not necessarily great.

Under 8 years of Obama, not a single Wall Street CEO went to jail. Dodd Frank is useless.
