82. I love Elizabeth Warren.

Jun 2016

I am a little frightened of what will happen to her seat, but boy can she take on the Donald. Her delivery is such that she can say things Hillary cannot and get away with it. It reminds me of a West Wing episode called the Supremes when Josh and Toby interviewed Glenn Close's character. They came away saying "I love her mind, I love her shoes"! That is how I feel about Elizabeth.
