Elizabeth Warren: The only Senator who cares about the middle class and says it with actions!

You have to admit Elizabeth Warren's actions speak louder than words. She is on a quest to actually protect the middle class. While others talk the talk she is actually walking the walk!


Need more like her in office!

3. I do think a courteous discussion over a Senator's record is a fair thread

In my opinion Elizabeth Warren is establishing a very clear coarse of action that can be discussed. Why should this be seen as hateful? It is good to know that other Senators can also be seen in this same positive light. Your opinion brought this fact to light. So it is a good topic to discuss overall.

and offensive". All of this is just opinion, your and my comments included. I love Warren. I also love Bernie Sanders who in my opinion is fighting just as hard. I can think of a few more who have my respect, but agreed that we need many more of them.

increase her influence by teaming up with those less well-known and be the rising tide that lifts all of the Progressive boats. As the Republicans frantically attempt to escape their Tea Party noose, hopefully we Democrats can empower our Liberal/Progressive group...that stands at the ready for a political focal point to improve the lives of the Middle class.

we also have Sanders, Brown, Baldwin, and many others fighting for the middle class in the Senate. Warren just gets the most attention. But she is proving to be quite an asset to us, no doubt.

created this mess.

For now, she's saying and doing some good things - but we should know better than to look to leaders for a lot of hope and change.

Does Hillary's close association with so many repuglicans and the fact she too was a pug so many years back go into the same play?

no? of course not.



Warren is talking to all of us of things that matter greatly to all - and Hillary is taking money from the likes of the Carlyle Group and Goldman Sachs for her talking in closed little secret rooms. Blah, Blah, Ca-Ching Ca-ching.

wow. Hmmm, I wonder who I would trust more.

Thanks for saying it, because I have been thinking about this a lot and trying to piece out my own observations.

Elizabeth Warren is a formidable speaker and a tremendous asset to us right now re: the ongoing economic looting of this country....I am cautiously very hopeful and excited about her.

My trust in Bernie, though, is *rock solid* and based on decades of his unwavering representation of people over corporations. I also have no doubt, after hearing his masterful filibuster on behalf of the 99 percent, that he could reach the electorate with a passion and gravity that are desperately needed.

After a devastating Trojan horse presidency in which we've seen predatory escalation of corporate looting, outrageous assaults on our free press, and entrenchment of a surveillance state, it's going to be critical to thoroughly vet and be sure trust is warranted as we select the very BEST candidate to represent the 99 percent.
