VIDEO: Elizabeth Warren: Anyone Who Says ‘Change Is Just Too Hard’ Is in ‘Bed With the Billionaires’

[Nanjeanne]

Forgive me if this has been posted already. I couldn't find it but perhaps it was.

This is from 4 days ago.

"Anyone Who Says ‘Change Is Just Too Hard’ Is in ‘Bed With the Billionaires"

Hmmmm - wonder if she has anyone in mind.

[WillyT]

1. K & R !!!

[ypsfonos]

2. Whom could she be referring to?

Just too hard to figure out....(strain, strain)

Someone will have to help me!

[Segami]

6. Hmm....Whom could it be?...who...who....who..

who...who...who...who...who...who...who...who..............

[restorefreedom]

34. lololol nt

[tomm2thumbs]

35. more lololol nt

[reformist2]

19. Will any pro-Hillary person dare post in this thread???

[SammyWinstonJack]

25. I know I know I...pick me pick me...*raises hand*

[Mbrow]

43. Reminds me of the "little Johnny" jokes

Teacher asks the children what the names of their pets were. She calls on everybody but little Johnny (knowing his reputation ). After all the other kids are done she calls on little Johnny, with dread, Who has had his hand raised the whole time eagerly wanting to tell his pets name, "OK Johnny whats your pets name"? Johnny says we have a dog named piggy. Thinking this is not so bad she asked "why do you call him piggy"? wait for it "Because he fucks pigs"

I'm not going to call on you....

[Divernan]

28. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

[Ferd Berfel]

44. Ummmmmmm, no wait, Don't tell me..........

[amborin]

66. let me guess......she's been tacitly endorsing Bernie for weeks now

[Uncle Joe]

3. Kicked and recommended.

Thanks for the thread, Nanjeanne.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

4. Exactly!

[libdem4life]

5. It was, and needs to be reposted every now and again. She has to walk a fine line.

I'd like for her to endorse Bernie, but I think it's best she do just what she's doing and wait until the Primaries are over. Things/videos like this mean way more than just an endorsement. Whoever does not know they are political bosom buddies probably won't vote, anyway.

[INdemo]

12. I think it depends just how negative Hillary gets/goes

After she loses IA and NH watch out she will bring in reinforcements.

[libdem4life]

13. (shudder) You may be right.

[Divernan]

29. I think you mean WHEN Hillary loses IA and NH

But everyone keep working and campaigning your respective butts off! Can't let your guard down around the Super Grifters for a moment!

[INdemo]

37. isn't that what I posted ?

[Divernan]

46. No. Your original post read: "If Hillary loses IA and NH . . . ."

And I replied it should be "when" she loses. Then you edited your post from "if" to "after".

But we're headed in the same direction.

[Akicita]

38. Any rule against her teaming up with Bernie as VP before the primaries are over?

[libdem4life]

41. None whatsoever, but I don't think it's in her best interest to do that, JMO. She carries a

big punch in a lot of ways and I think it would drag her through ugly political places she doesn't need to go through. I mean they are already referring to Bernie as a Commie, with a faulty (Clinton's first) health care program...on and on.

My preference would be she stay above the dirty mudslinging, give speeches in Congress where she is highly respected, represent her constituents, etc. I read a couple of times her family has asked her not to run...and I can certainly understand that. They get pulled into the mud, too. Look at Jane Sanders...and it's just begun.

I think we'll see more of her...on her timeline, at least I hope so.

[Akicita]

42. Maybe not in her best personal interest but it would be in her

ideological best interest and more important in the country's best interest. I don't think her congressional speeches will be widely disseminated across the country. She needs to be on the campaign trail where she will have a huge impact and could put Bernie over the top.

[libdem4life]

57. I'm not disagreeing with you at all. I just think she needs to balance her own needs and her

family's needs. They Do Not want her to run for national office. The Campaign Trail would slime her, and she's no Hillary...who thrives on it. She is a uniter...not so much a partisan. She and Bernie are political twins, almost.

[jeff47]

58. No, it wouldn't be best there either.

In the Senate, she has a great deal of power. Creating a new leadership position for a new Senator is extremely rare, and demonstrates just how much power she has.

As VP, she'd be more-or-less powerless.

She is best served by staying in the Senate.

[hedda_foil]

64. The only powerless VPs who are those with opposing views nominated to balance the ticket.

The only VP I can recall who filled that bill was LBJ, whom JFK despised.

She would only be powerless as VP if President Sanders wanted her to be powerless. And I don't think there's any chance that he would want to shut her up or keep her away from the biggest national problems. Do you?

I'm not big on taking sitting Senators out of Congress and into the WH or cabinet, but this one.time, I'm all for it. I believe that the partnership of Bernie and Elizabeth in the White House would be in unstoppable.

[jeff47]

65. In the Senate, she can propose, pass and block legislation

She can also directly challenge the leadership. She can also make speeches.

As VP, she can make speeches.

[TIME TO PANIC]

7. K & R ! To the MAX!!!

[Doctor_J]

8. let's see...Obama, Clinton, Krugman

Yep

[Gregorian]

9. Very bright thinking behind these ideas. Bravo.

I don't know how likely a Constitutional amendment is.

[Skwmom]

10. I wish she would do more than just give a speech.

Bernie could use some help out there....

[Nanjeanne]

11. It will happen

The mere fact that she hasn't endorsed Hillary Clinton yet tells me all I need to know

If Bernie wins NH & Iowa . . . I think we may see her take a more definitive stand. We certainly know who her policies fit with.

[Skwmom]

14. True leaders don't wait to jump in until it's more convenient to do so. n/t

[Jenny_92808]

49. I think you got it right

"The mere fact that she hasn't endorsed Hillary Clinton yet tells me all I need to know"

I was thinking the same thing.

[joshcryer]

52. If she was serious she would have run.

[Ed Suspicious]

15. 10:15 forward. That's little swipe at Her Inevitableness. No question.

[ViseGrip]

16. Spot on Liz, now can we get your supporters out of the billionaire camp called Hillary for pResident

[reformist2]

17. Does Hillary support full disclosure of who donates to her SuperPACs?

If so, she should request that they make their lists public.

[INdemo]

20. she laughed at that too when asked

[840high]

47. She laughs a lot. Means

she's uncomfortable.

[tomm2thumbs]

18. those who "slither around Washington" - LOVE IT - to the point!!!!

they are snakes... they are poisonous to our country... they need to be removed from the premises

[ViseGrip]

21. thanks Liz! now get your supporters out of the billionaires bed with an endorsement.

[SmittynMo]

22. And the truth shall set you free.

Come on Liz, run for VP. Bernie would love to have ya.

Let's shut down this party now, and get ready for November.

[libodem]

23. Kick

[Eric J in MN]

24. She was referring to members of Congress who oppose campaign finance reform. NT

NT

[tomm2thumbs]

36. your profile picture is too hilarious

too funny

[INdemo]

40. I want to see Hillary in a NASCAR suit with all her corporate sponsors

labels/patches...But would there be room?

[draa]

26. K+R!!!

[saltpoint]

27. Can't imagine who she might have

been referring to.

Am wracking my brain and there's just nobody at all coming to mind...

[uponit7771]

30. *** (except for reparations)

[99th_Monkey]

31. Warren's war on "No We Can't" appears to be mobilizing!! Woot! n/t

[wolfie001]

32. Ha!!!

I bet it's the person who had a chair on Walmart's bored of Dictators. Yes, that's the one!

[shawn703]

33. .

[Stellar]

39. Kick...

the hell out of congress!

[Le Taz Hot]

45. Shills called in her favors,

promised them the moon and every one of the female Democratic Party Senators endorsed her. All except one. The ONLY one with integrity.

[retrowire]

50. good point. nt

[emsimon33]

48. Now let's see if she gets in bed with the billionaire-supported candidate on the Democratic side

[Jenny_92808]

51. Elizabeth Warren, You

are an amazing, courageous leader!

[book_worm]

53. So why isn't she endorsing Bernie?

They are pretty close on issues and with Iowa so close her endorsement might make a difference.

[californiabernin]

54. Sanders/Warren 2016! n/t

[glinda]

55. Do it Elizabeth!

[ViseGrip]

56. Come on Liz! Get your supporters out of those billionaires beds! ENDORSE!!!!!

[farleftlib]

59. IKR? It's coming tho

after watching this, the Sanders endorsement is pretty much in the bag.

[Ivan Kaputski]

60. k and r ...our next VP.

[Orsino]

61. It's not really that simple, but it's an essential point.

We know where the big money is aligning. I hope to vote against it.

[Octafish]

62. Why isn't this in GD?

Thank you for the heads-up, Nanjeanne!

[NorthCarolina]

63. I wonder if she meant to say "Anyone who says INCREMENTAL change is just too hard"

Nah...probably not.
