5. Elizabeth Warren left the GOP in the mid 90's, was GOP when Reagan was in office

Running his Reaganomics and trickle down. Since you stated she can speak the language in both the GOP and DNC since she was in both parties, Hillary was raised in a conservative GOP family also but changed over many years ago. In Hillary's time as Senator she not only spoke the language but reached across the aisle to work with GOP Congressional members. Hillary has fought for civil rights and against violence against women, for equal pay for women and for raising the minimum wage. I am not trying to knock Elizabeth Warren off but they are on equal footing in some areas.
