Holy Shit - he's afraid of Elizabeth Warren

That's what this speech was about.
Lawrence is brilliant - the MoFo lied to his base and said they should send money for the build the wall fund but the fine print was for the reelect on campaign.

GO Steve!

Its early, I am liking what Warren is saying. I know there are a lot of Beto fans but there's a lot to be said about experience - Perhaps Warren/Beto or Warren/Kamala - I don't know - its early and we still don't know if Biden will run.

especially when it comes to Senate operations. He was an aide to one of the more powerful Dem Senators of the 20th Century.

Lawrence nailed it as the first campaign speech for Trump's re-election campaign. With the Repubs defending 22 Senate seats this go-around, I imagine there are quite a few of those who are watching their careers spiraling down the toilet with Trump being in the WH.

to gain real support from both the Clinton supporters and the Sanders supporters. She has been very very strong on issues like regulating banks and other financial institutions, without the hyperbole that Sanders often engages in. She can point to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau as a case where government helped people hurt by banks, credit cards, financial institions etc.
