Caroline Kennedy Says She Will Back Hillary Clinton, Warren camp says NY Post article... [View all] wyldwolf Aug 2014 OP

The Klein article is silent on Caroline Kennedy's preference. n/t Laelth Aug 2014 #1

Warren says the story is completely made up. That should be the end of it. n/t pnwmom Aug 2014 #2

That can't be the end! We want her to run even though see said she won't! She used the wrong word! snooper2 Aug 2014 #4

I will not vote for Hillary whether Elizabeth Warren runs or not. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #21

Okay, I'll bite - what makes Elizabeth Warren more qualified than Hillary Clinton? George II Aug 2014 #23

I hope you're not holding your breath ... NanceGreggs Aug 2014 #51

Nah...it basically was a rhetorical question since there really is no answer. George II Aug 2014 #57

Actually, I'm having trouble writing an answer short enough to fit on DU. Taking a little JDPriestly Aug 2014 #89

In other words wyldwolf Aug 2014 #91

Have you read Elizabeth Warren's book. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #93

Quote the relevant parts wyldwolf Aug 2014 #95

Elizabeth Warren is not a socialist. Read her book. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #96

In other words you really can't answer those questions wyldwolf Aug 2014 #98

You should read the book. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #99

How many words did you just write? wyldwolf Aug 2014 #100

Why is Hillary qualified, because I dont' think Hillary is qualified. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #103

and then you divert from the question again and write another anti-clinton diatribe wyldwolf Aug 2014 #104

You need to read Elizabeth Warren's book. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #106

back to that again? wyldwolf Aug 2014 #107

What qualifications do you want president to have. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #109

I want you to stop diverting and tell me what Warren's are. wyldwolf Aug 2014 #110

Rather a one-sided conversation. I have written three posts answering your question. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #111

you've written three long diatribes about Clinton, then some touchy feely fanboy Warren stuff wyldwolf Aug 2014 #112

Define "qualifications," please. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #113

What relevant things did Barack Obama do before becoming president? JDPriestly Aug 2014 #115

You're STILL avoiding the question! LOL! And now you're dragging Obama into it. wyldwolf Aug 2014 #116

What did Obama or Clinton or Hillary or George W. Bush do legislatively before JDPriestly Aug 2014 #120

This is not about Reagan or Obama wyldwolf Aug 2014 #123

You've replied to the wrong person. NanceGreggs Aug 2014 #122

Here is why I think Elizabeth Warren would have broad appeal. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #128

You are obviously a very devoted Warren advocate ... NanceGreggs Aug 2014 #132

See my post #89. I give some of my reasons. JDPriestly Aug 2014 #90

She certainly knows the main point of the story is false BainsBane Aug 2014 #16

I think she can safely speak for Elizabeth Warren. Laelth Aug 2014 #41

Elizabeth Warren knows that it was fabricated, and she told her press secretary. pnwmom Aug 2014 #17

I think Ms. Rose can safely speak for Elizabeth Warren. Laelth Aug 2014 #42

She must know then that Warren didn't go up there to sail in their boat pnwmom Aug 2014 #48

But Elizabeth Warren is not silent on the NY Post's article. MineralMan Aug 2014 #3

I have no reason to doubt her Press Secretary, Ms. Rose. Laelth Aug 2014 #6

She knows because her boss, Warren, told her it was completely made up. pnwmom Aug 2014 #18

Maybe because her boss, Elizabeth Warren, told her so? nt msanthrope Aug 2014 #26

LOL Bill Clinton has been known to say that DC is a fact-free zone. DURHAM D Aug 2014 #30

Yet you don't believe Warren? BainsBane Aug 2014 #45

I believe her press secretary, Ms. Rose. Laelth Aug 2014 #47
