Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren criticized a US economy that she says favors the wealthy, just as President Obama sets off for Michigan as part of a US tour promoting his administrations central, and continued, role in the economic recovery...

(429 posts)How's this idea: every single time a republican senator/congressman gets on the media with a chilling "important" speech/statement we get Elizabeth Warren to immediately get on the same media channels to rip it to shreds. In effect let's make her the voice of America instead of our President, and do it right now because nobody does it better! Also this host whoever he is, is succinct and correct in his talk, and I like how he carries himself.

she might just be the one to force the bluedogs out and the real Democrats. Why not have her and the DNC chairman? She could handle both jobs. A few hours a week would be more time than Debbie Shultz is spending.

(10,893 posts)EW voted for Reagan back in the day, I'm glad that she eventually saw the flaws of Reaganomics, and is now a powerful voice for fiscal populism. Democrats like her completely shatter the belief that both parties are alike.

(406 posts)I don't trust the Congressional Democrats and most American voters to back her up once the going got tough. With corporate influence much more sophisticated, far reaching and effective than in FDR's day, she'd get Carter'ed without question.
Think Carter 1977/78 - before Papa Bush's toadies and Brezenzski snowing Jimmy precipitated Iran and Afghanistan. Carter knew his stuff and knew it well...and a Democrat Congress threw him under the bus every chance they got with endless play-dumb, dicking around, look-the-other-way bullshit at every turn and it was completely deliberate.
I believe Warren would meet the same fate. Then here would come the Republicans, just like with Saint Ronnie, with their "I'll save you!" dog and pony show - and most of America would eat it up hook, line and sinker...via smack-phone.

(6,994 posts)You mean pretty much the way they have done with Obama?
They have supported him but not really supported him. Just like the Keystone vote coming up and the TPP that I expect the rightwing Democrats will vote for

(406 posts)That's exactly what they're going to do. If not in the near future, it'll be hours before Inauguration Day 2016.
And I hope I'm wrong.

(6,994 posts)on a Construction project. I made the comment that "well you can Thank Clinton for this job and the Federal Funding supporting this project" and the Republican said. "What are you talking about. It was because of Reagan. " I said "you mean it took 16 years for the funding to trickle down? Yep he said. Now isn't that just like a Republican?
