Although I'm pretty annoyed by Warren's purity testing of other Democrats she's still a good Democrat. I hope she realizes who her real friends are. And who really isn't on her side.

Fundraisers for her primary campaign for president.

When is someone SUPPOSED to start a policy they hope to develop as president as the seek overturn Citizens United?

The outrage and attacks on her are out of proportion and manufactured for the most part.

The purity test howlers have their own purity test hurdles they want jumped.

in the primary contest.

When is someone SUPPOSED to start implementing a policy for their primary campaign that they expect to implement as president?

Did Warren so bitterly target Pete when he attacked her on Med4All even though he supported it earlier? No, she did not.

After 3months of constant attacks she hits back and Pete camp howls with outrage. They were enjoying their free ride with Warren and then she stepped into the fray she had avoided for so long.

The overthetop outrage IS manufactured.

Showing what a snake he is: https://medium.com/@deray/on-shaun-king-351bd812318c

As is his wont, Mr King responded by not responding to the allegations DeRay raised and tried to change the subject.

Edited to add: sorry, that URL isn't clickable (I think because of the @) but if you copy and paste it, it will take you to DeRay's piece.
