Politifact - Warrens slam on Amy was of course not true.

Politifact examines the claim and while it played well on tv, it was far from the truth.

“Amy, I looked online at your (health care) plan. It’s two paragraphs." — Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.

This is highly misleading.

Warren’s campaign told PolitiFact that she was referring specifically to Klobuchar’s plan for "universal health care." It pointed to the two paragraphs at the end of this Klobuchar campaign web page, which come under the heading "Propose legislation to get us to universal health care."

But that ignores most of Klobuchar’s health care plan, which she outlines in quite a bit of detail on four different web pages — a main health care policy page, a more detailed sub-page, a sub-page on prescription drugs and a sub-page on mental health. Klobuchar supports building on the Affordable Care Act and adding a public option that expands Medicare and Medicaid.

1. I'd hardly consider calling 4 web pages '2 pages' ... highly misleading ...

When someone says it's '2 pages' the point is it's small/not fleshed out.

And 4 web pages meets that criteria.

"Not Entirely Incorrect" I'd accept as valid.

"Highly Misleading" ... it's really not.

4. She didn't say 2 pages she said 2 paragraphs, dismissively.

Some difference there.

5. Exactly this. nt

7. It's still not all that serious of a plan, lets be real ...

2 paragraphs, 2 pages, 4 web pages ... it's not 'highly misleading' to call it any of these terms.

The point is there's very little 'to it'.

9. If it's more than two paragraphs, then calling it two paragraphs is in fact misleading.

This isn't complicated. It's either true or it's not, and it sounds like it's clearly not.

That makes it either misleading or a lie, depending on how much benefit of the doubt one extends to Warren.

8. Exactly

2. Yeah, that was the one thing that didn't make me happy... well, two. I'm sure Buttigieg...

... has more to say in his plan also.

3. Have you been to her website? It is true

A few days ago I went to her website and I told my wife almost exactly the same as what Warren said. The lack of details is astonishing for someone who is running for president.

Not sure if she has changed that in the last week, but Warren is correct, Amy's descriptions of each point on her agenda look like they were written by a sixth grader, they are vague and short.

The number of choices on her website is so limited, it was very discouraging to go there, I browsed and came to the same conclusion as Warren, so I closed it.

If you look at Warren's and Sanders' websites you find details. Warren's is the best of all, she has a very clear plan, so does Sanders but hers is full of detail, it is a master piece, you leave her website with very few questions.

"Warren’s campaign told PolitiFact that she was referring specifically to Klobuchar’s plan for "universal health care.""
Nope, the entire website is pitiful. As I said, it looks like a sixth grader put it together.
