It has also been well covered by many publications, her two-faced talk on stuff like Wall Street and veterans. She is another Hillary...


Most far right newspapers didn't endorse Trump. Almost no one did.

The reality is that anyone who favors Trump demonizes HRC and Warren and vice versa. There is no middle ground, so there can't really be a rational conversation between the two sides. I think until new players come on the scene on both sides it's just going to be more of the same. You will never convince someone on the right that Warren is anything but an HRC clone. I mean, seriously...people are jokingly accusing Warren of murder on this thread? How does that elevate the conversation? Just like Trump plays his pocahontas card, conservatives can't beat any other drum than "she's an HRC clone". Converstations about legislation and real issues, anyone?

Cause we had a senior senator who did kill someone and then serve another 40 years. The fact that she hasn't killed anyone elevates her above Ted Kennedy.

Blah blah blah it was an accident, Martha's Vineyard acquitted him. Still the source of much satire up through the early 90s.

She is a good watchdog and advocate for most of us.

Her probe of fake AirBnB short term rentals, for one.

I would rather see her as a future US Attorney General than President. I think she would do more good in that role.

And the early 90s were over 20 years ago. And how is Ted Kennedy's 1960's negligent behavior relevant to Elizabeth Warren? I thought the "joke" was that it's the Clinton's who have people killed and Warren has been hanging with HRC, so she is probably a (supposed) murderer, too.

If you have a problem with Ted Kennedy, that's fine. I just don't understand how rolling over the same jokes about the Clintons and Warren 8 months later does anything worthwhile. Do you really think Warren is a murderer?

Oh look some with a beef about the Kennedys she will somehow try to blame Warren, Obama or Hillary.

Do you think Elizabeth Warren is a good senator?
No. She cares more about her social agenda, and is not concerned about individuals with their real life problems. During the dining hall workers strike at Harvard U. last fall, she hopped out of her limo, dropped off some Dunkin Donuts munchkins and stood for a photo op, but didn't actually listen and discuss any of the strikers' concerns. After about ten minutes, she left in her black SUV.

How is she so much better as a senator than someone like Scott Brown? Just because she has a D next to her title, doesn't make her a better advocate for the people of Massachusetts.

No way would I ever vote for her for president.

To be honest, although I didn't agree with them at least back in the days of people like Tip O'Neil and Ted Kennedy I could at least see where they were coming from and they'd make a decent argument. In retrospect, even Barney Frank wasn't that bad vs what we have now.

Politics now has become so destructive on both ends it is a turnoff at least to the mainstream.

^^ I agree with this. But she would be a disaster as a president and polarize our two party system even more. She is just as bad as Trump with her divisive style of speaking. We need a president that can work with both parties.

I heard her voice on the radio this morning harping again on income disparity. Excuse me, but as long as the Democrats keep our borders open to all illegals and refugees, there will be huge income disparity in the US since those people are coming in with nothing, no money, no English, no education. The Dems are the ones making the problem worse. Close the borders and kick out the illegals, then work on closing the income gap.

Oh wow.. that is cutting edge.. I know at the top of my list was the important concern of fake Air BnB rentals.

What is next... an investigation of fake craigslist rentals?
