A Warren Run Would Change Everything
Over the past few weeks, Elizabeth Warren has emerged as a leader of progressives on Capitol Hill. She led the charge against the part of the CRomnibus that gutted our financial regulations, and she is still fighting the White House over its nomination of bankster Antonio Weiss as Undersecretary of Domestic Finance in the Treasury Department.
But while those of us on the left are thrilled that Senator Warren is coming into her own as a voice for change in Washington, the right, well, isn't so thrilled. In fact, it's downright terrified.
During an episode of "Outnumbered" yesterday, Fox So-Called News host Melissa Francis said that as far as Wall Street was concerned, Elizabeth Warren was "the devil" and then warned that her populist message could be a big winner in 2016.
Melissa's right to be scared, because Elizabeth Warren represents one of - if not the biggest - threat to Republicans winning the presidency in 2016. Warren is, essentially, a populist, and if there was one good sign from this year's midterm elections it's that Americans of all stripes, even those living in red states, support a populist agenda.
If Elizabeth Warren were to run for president on a populist platform, it could help the Democratic Party reclaim the so-called "red states." But a Warren presidential run wouldn't just be good for the Democratic Party, it would be good for the entire country because it would change how we talk about politics.

Bible: " Mark 12:30" Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.'. Bible: " Mark 12:31" The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.
Bill: " An act prescribing the mode of deciding disputed elections of President and Vice- President" by James Ross (The Ross bill, 1800). Article: " Conversation with Edward Snowden", December 12, 2014 by C-SPAN " ...just two days ago come report was released that the Central Intelligence Agency tortured at least one man to death. he died after being tortured, chained to a concrete floor without pants, apparently, and froze to death. beyond that, 29 more were disappeared.". |
