(4,178 posts)However, she told the same story yet again.
I have heard it all before,right down to the soggy diapers,and Aunt Bee moving in.
She is too repetitive.I don't like canned speeches.
She is a good speaker.She is one of the candidates who has the fire we need,but please no more of the same speech.

(58,785 posts)After all, was MLK too repetitive in his calls for equality? Ohmygod, not those tired old equality lines again?
Long, long, long ago I worked in advertising sales for a publishing company, and almost the first thing I learned was that placing one ad was worth about as much as spitting into the wind. The exact words used to explain it to me.
When people start repeating Senator Warren's messages also, then she'll have repeated them enough to be off to good starts to progress.
That's just the way it has to be because people are the way we are.

(4,178 posts)What I heard three times was the same exact story with details about potty training her daughter and how many suitcases
Aunt Bee brought to her house.
A story with such personal small details just sounds so rehearsed when she keeps repeating it.
When she finished that story she sounded great.
I hope she does well. She is a fighter and we need that.

(58,785 posts)she will fight for until accomplished, working with others with the same goals of course.
Btw, I know you mean well, but to my mind the differences between Warren and Sanders are huge and defining, to the point of comparing the two an injustice to her. It's not just that she wouldn't endorse him for president before, but she couldn't.
Very unlike Warren, Sanders has a long record of discrepancy between what he says and what he does. His unwillingness to work with others means he's failed to use his power as a U.S. senator to fight for his goals as Warren does, and his record of achievement is shockingly low for a man who's spent almost 3 decades at the center of power in DC.
Note that recently, out of principle and decency, his fellow senators -- of course -- got on board to support the Yemen bill he cosponsored with a Republican senator because the Republicans were going to allow it to pass. But this came weeks and even months after he either refused to speak up for or even opposed similar bills sponsored by Democrats. Tragic delay when he could have used his public face to call for public support for them, but they were not HIS bills with HIS name on them, and he didn't.
Please understand, Warren wouldn't do a thing like that. Btw, she's introducing an extremely strong anti-corruption lobbying control bill that goes significantly farther than our Democrats' current, huge For the People democracy reform package, HR1, which also includes lobbying reform. I'm a big fan of both HR1 AND of her efforts in this respect. You won't find her sabotaging HR1 because it's a big team project and she can't claim it as entirely her own. She'll work to make it even more comprehensive when it comes to the senate and be all in for passing it.

She is a force, to be sure.

(9,580 posts)very, very good. I wish I felt more like she could win a presidential race - the reasons I think she might not be able to have more to do with others than with her. She got off to a shaky start. Can she overcome it?
