Intellectual is not the word that comes to mind when someone mentions Warren's name.
It is for most folks. Seriously, stop acting like a partisan hack, both sides DO have intellectuals. The left has some, as does the right. Insulting them because their politics disagree with you just makes you look silly no matter the side.

I don't think many on thread understand what an intellectual is.
Really? If by "intellectuals" you mean ivory tower thinkers detached from reality, then knock yourself out. Otherwise, I kind of think of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren as fools. They certainly don't understand economics or business.
I seperate intellectuals from really smart people. Intellectuals write books full of footnotes. My favorite intellectual is Thomas Sowell, the anti-intellectuals intellectual. My least favorite is Chomsky. He is an intellectual, however.
It can be argued intellectuals have done us more harm than good.
I suggest sowell's "Intellectuals and Society".
Bernie and Trump are both populists whose appeal is not to intellect.

Adam Schiff has a political law degree from Stanford and a degree from Harvard. Bright guy and conducts himself with grace. I've been very impressed with him.
"Shifty Schiff" has a degree from Hawvud? Who would have thunk!
IMO, the last real intellectual in the US Congress was Eugene McCarthy.
I believe so. And there haven't been any on the Republican side in years.
Only an idiot claims to be an indian when clearly they are not.
