One of the smartest and fairest politician to come along in eons....

[Playinghardball]

Stay well and give them hell Ms. Warren. You are greatly appreciated.

[Wounded Bear]

1. It's refreshing just to have someone dare to ask questions like that...nt

[yurbud]

29. now we just need enough like her in Congress to do something about the answers

If Democrats of conscience like her can't break the stranglehold the corporate compliant ones have on the party, it will die shortly after the Republican Party does.

The corporatistas think they've got the Democratic base "locked down," but they would do well to look at history and how quickly new "second" parties rose up when existing ones failed to listen to their bases.

[Scuba]

2. K&R

[spanone]

3. k&r... she asks the questions most politicians don't even think of.

[MindMover]

4. kr....nt

[secondwind]

5. K&R....

[Bigmack]

6. YES! Totally agree. nt

[99Forever]

7. A beacon of truth and integrity.

Most of the upper echelon of the Democratic Party would do well to listen and learn from this REAL Democrat.

8. Then when those kids graduate, their job has been outsourced to India, so they take out bridge

loans on their credit cards at 19%.

Do we love our kids or what?

[Zorra]

9. I hope to have the chance to vote for her some day. nt

[Initech]

10. This is why it's extremely crucial to get out the vote in 2014!!!

You want the Koch GOP to get a blank check to do whatever they want in 2016? You want Rand Paul as Senate majority leader which would set the stage for him becoming president in 2016? This scares the living shit out of me, and it should scare the living shit out of you too.

[BobTheSubgenius]

11. From the intro, I wasn't what this thread was going to be.

I figured either Elizabeth Warren or Alan Grayson. Couldn't lose, either way.

[MannyGoldstein]

15. I was betting Warren.

She's definitely not one of the Pinks*

*Attention jurors: that's a Subgenius term, not some undercover sexist remark, no matter what the alerter is claiming. Google it if you don't believe me.

[Cal33]

20. Even Warren or Grayson wouldn't be able to do much in 2017, if both houses of Congress

should be in Republican hands. Democrats have got to work to get
both houses -- both in 2014 and 2016. I don't think the chances
are too good in 2014, but they will be better in 2016.

[Zorra]

25. At least we could be sure that all destructive RW legislation would get vetoed. nt

[Cal33]

30. Yes. Preventing the negative is half of the game. But the other half, getting something

positive done, will be impossible. So, two more years of gridlock. This
is not good for our nation.

[adirondacker]

12. k&r. It's what we get in return for bailing out the banks on the taxpayers shoulders. nt

[Sarah Ibarruri]

13. I like her. nt

[MannyGoldstein]

14. Our next President.

Keep laughing, you'll see... America will demand it.

[bluescribbler]

19. I hope not

I'd much rather have her continue as my senior Senator for many years to come. She, like Ted Kennedy before her, can accomplish so much more in the Senate than she ever could as President.

[MannyGoldstein]

21. FDR should have run for the Senate instead of the Presidency?

Lincoln?

[Rider3]

22. I think you're correct

I don't want to lose her as my senator. We must find a way to clone her!

[Fairgo]

16. Interest piqued...

Regardless of her designs on the office, I would be very interested in hearing more from her. I think a virtual pamphlet summarizing her stands and priorities would be a tonic to the public discourse. God knows we need a tonic...

[Theyletmeeatcake2]

17. Pity they don 't have to answer to it!!!

It's rigged full stop"".

[1StrongBlackMan]

18. I love me some EW ...

and would like to see 217 others, just like her ... But doesn't this OP violate the newly established "No Cheer-leading" rule on DU?

[DevineBovine]

23. She must be a Libertarian

[dotymed]

24. As a person who has

fallen for candidate lies one too many times, I was skeptical of EW.
I learned to observe actions instead of promises. That is why I am a Bernie Sanders supporter (x10).
Elizabeth Warren is definitely proving herself to be "one of us."
She is on my (very short) list of actual representative politicians.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. She, like Bernie, has a few stances and votes I'm not thrilled with

but that's par for the course. No politician who isn't 'me' is going to agree with me 100% of the time.

Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and my own Senator, Sherrod Brown, are the 3 best people in Congress in my books.

Even if according to some ranking out there' there are 30 more 'liberal' Senators out there than EW, she's focused on the defining aspect of our time. Wealth Inequality.

Talking about giving people 'equal opportunity' is nice, but it's never really anywhere near equal in reality. Equal opportunity is saying 'The rich and the poor alike are banned from sleeping under bridges and on steam grates'. They all have the 'opportunity' to sleep wherever it's legal for them to do so if they can afford it. Actual equality is saying 'The rich and poor alike have the right to sleep indoors, in a safe, temperature controlled environment.' And then instigating policies to make it happen.

"Equal opportunity" is merely handing out lottery tickets so that everyone has a 'chance' at not being impoverished.

[pscot]

27. With a dozen like her

we could take the country back from the bosses.

[Phlem]

28. It's sad that she's the only one like this

in our party. What have the Democrats become?
