Liz Warren

[runaway hero]

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by LostOne4Ever (a host of the General Discussion forum).

Has she done anything since going to senate? All I see she does is talk, and she attacked Obama over trade (TPP) not too long ago. And then she was too chicken to run for president, leaving Bernie to pick up the pieces and then left him to die on the vine. And she hasn't endorsed HRC yet either. Why not? She plays political games just as much as anyone and a few tweets at Trump doesn't mean anything.


I respect HRC and Sanders for at least having the balls to run. And Hillary is trying to run on the issues, not throwing rocks and then hiding her hands like Warren does.

[TheCowsCameHome]

1. I wish we had 99 more senators like her.

Cripes, you sound like you're channeling Donald Trump.

[runaway hero]

2. How?

She attacked the president over nothing and then now gets in food fights with Trump on twitter. How am I Trump for pointing that out.

[cali]

20. Nothing? Horseshit. The TPP is the ultimate corporately authored boondoggle.

[runaway hero]

29. Hey I believe in party unity

I respect your posts a lot cali, but I felt that was undermining Obama.

[TheCowsCameHome]

3. You have no clue.

Seriously.

Good luck backing the "other side", though.

[runaway hero]

5. I'm supporting HRC

Unless you got a reason why she left Bernie hanging and hasn't endorsed HRC yet...

[Peacetrain]

12. So when Hillary picks Elizabeth to be her running mate you will what?

And let me add this.. E. Warren is beloved and loved in the Iowa Democratic party.. all sides.. we adore E. Warren.. soooooooooo.. I do not give a little yellow canary who she picks..she is her own person and respected in her own right for her stances.. I thank you

[runaway hero]

14. And she won't

Because it will be Senator Kaine.

[Peacetrain]

15. Might be.. But E. Warren is awesome..

[cali]

21. You're right. Hill will choose a corporate dem

[runaway hero]

32. Yeah it seems like he is the front runner now.

Castro seemed to slip up in that interview recently.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

41. Why don't you just admit that you hate her because she's a liberal? nt

[lagomorph777]

4. So you didn't actually look before making this empty argument

She has voted 98.9% of the time.
Her record is unambiguously liberal.

[runaway hero]

6. Nice minor bills

I didn't question her liberal qualifications, I said she likes to start fights over nothing.

[cyberswede]

8. Do you ever read your own words?

Has she done anything since going to senate?

The premise of your OP was fucking stupid, and you're not doing yourself any favors with your replies.

[lagomorph777]

9. OK so even when it's placed in front of your face you won't read it

because many of these bills are very significant. Why are you making RW talking points? You do know DUers are capable of reading, right?

[runaway hero]

13. And what is RW about my talking points?

I said I didn't like how she left Bernie hanging either. I guess I should have said major bills for you guys?


And what about undermining the president on TPP?

[cyberswede]

18. You need to do some research on TPP. It's HORRIBLE

Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): More Job Offshoring, Lower Wages, Unsafe Food Imports

How to Tell TPP Is a Bad Deal

Stop the Trans-Pacific Partnership: Bad for Jobs, the Environment, Labor and Consumers

http://www.salon.com/2015/05/05/robert_reich_the_trans_pacific_partnership_is_trickle_down_economics_by_another_name_partner/

[lagomorph777]

19. Absolutely, undermining the president on TPP is one of the things I like about her.

And if none of those bills conform to your ideology, I question why you are at DU. Something doesn't make sense about that.

[Kingofalldems]

37. 'you guys' eh?

[ChisolmTrailDem]

43. Yea, that's a major tell right there that he/she isn't one of us guys. nt

[runaway hero]

45. Wow seriously?

I was talking about the people responding to the thread and nothing else. No intent behind that.

[Fairgo]

26. That right there is diagnostic,

clinical, proof of proud ignorance. There are times when "being a troll" is the only logical conclusion sort of "random monkey typing". You should not be allowed to engage a public discourse when your only response to information is to show your ass.

[cyberswede]

7. Uh huh...

TPP should be attacked.

Warren didn't want to run AGAINST Hillary - she wasn't "chicken" FFS.

Maybe she's waiting until we have an actual nominee before she endorses? When I was on my county Central Committee, we weren't allowed to publicly support any candidate over another until the primary was over (that was for all levels, not just Prez).

Who gives a shit whether she Tweets at Trump? Someone needs to tell that SOB where to stick it.

[runaway hero]

10. We have one

Hillary is over 200 delagates ahead. There is no way Sanders comes through and wins it. Check the numbers. Yeah she was chicken, throw crap at Trump on twitter(thousands do that daily) or do something about it.


HRC is doing something about it.

[lagomorph777]

11. OK thanks I see why you are making RW talking points.

Wow. I hope HRC is not as right wing as her followers. Why don't you just vote for Donald Dump?

[cyberswede]

16. What is Hillary doing about it?

That's right...asking for $...on TWITTER

Hillary Clinton ‏@HillaryClinton May 3

Donald Trump is the presumptive @GOP nominee.

Chip in now if you agree we can't let him become president:

https://twitter.com/HillaryClinton/status/727670062782545924

...and throwing crap

Hillary Clinton ‏@HillaryClinton 3h3 hours ago

It's been a banner week for @realDonaldTrump...

[TransitJohn]

17. Fish on!

n/t

[a kennedy]

22. I G N O R E

[KG]

23. I larfed

[winstars]

24. Sleeper cells on DU...

[cali]

25. Just hill supporters

[winstars]

27. Or Agent Provocateurs here to provoke exact;y what we are doing right now...

Liz Warren, never heard her referred to that way.

IMHO, its sounds like "the Democrat party" opposed to the proper "Democratic party"... dog whistle.

But thats just my opinion and I admit I am wrong sometimes...

[Kingofalldems]

44. Nice slur.

[runaway hero]

30. So I'm not the best at articulation here.

So does that make me a troll? Seriously?

[Fairgo]

33. Only partially

Intent does the rest

[runaway hero]

39. And my intent is what?

I already said I back Hillary.

[Fairgo]

40. Oh, I apologise

I thought you were pretending not to understand...never mind.

[CentralMass]

28. Let's see, a freshman Senator now suddenly the senior Senator to MA decides not to run for President

A postion that she does not desire. What level of arrogance and ambitiom would it take for someone with that little political experience to run for the Presidency ?

From what I can see Senator Warren is on the right side of many of these issues like trade and Wall Street reform or cracking down on payday lenders
It is the party hiesrchy that is on the wrong side and they have publically gone after her on a number of occasions

Two of her public critics, Barney Frank and DWS are running the upcoming convention. I would strongly argue that they are part of the problem and that Senator Warren is part of the solution.

[OldHippieChick]

31. I may be walking into a chainsaw, but

I adore Elizabeth Warren and she is everything that Bernie is and more. For one, she is a Democrat. For two, she appeals to many of the same young people who love Bernie. I also think if we're going to play the "woman" card, let's play the woman card. To me, this would be a dream ticket.

[lagomorph777]

34. Hear, here!

[OldHippieChick]

36. Glad I'm not alone

Thanks!

[runaway hero]

38. I respect your points. Thanks!

[Iggo]

35. bah-WOOSH !!!

[Squinch]

42. You embarass yourself.

[hrsummers]

46. I want her to be Vice Pres!

I would love to see Sanders and Warren run together
