Elizabeth Warren on The Rachel Maddow Show: Anyone watching?

103. Not super impressed so far

lot's of quasi-socialist sounding blather about how the billionaire class has "rigged" economy.

But I will withhold judgment until I dig into her substantive policy proposals.

The real question is does she really and truly have an approach that comes to grips with the real dynamics of the 21st century economy which is being shaped more and more by automation, globalization in an increasingly interconnected world and which is about to be completely upended by the political economy of dealing with climate change.

Tonight she sounded like a Bernie Sanders clone, and Bernie is somebody who is stuck in the mid 20th century. He's been giving the same diagnosis of both our politics and our economy since back when he was the socialist mayor of Burlington.

I hope that Warren has a more complex and nuanced understanding of the massive trends of the 21st Century than Bernie the outdated, broken socialist record. But what she had to say on Rachel's show was not exactly encouraging.
