93. Have you read Elizabeth Warren's book.

She has quite an astounding record.

Hillary Clinton does not even TALK a good game.

Hillary was in charge of the State Department during the negtiations for the Keystone Pipeline and the beginning of the negotiations of the TPP. If she is relying on those policies as proof that she can act and not just talk, I'll take my chances on someone who at least says the right things. Actually, Elizabeth Warren has taken the initiative and acted on issues, especially economic issues, in ways that are more impressive than the things Hillary has done.

If we don't deal with the issue of income disparity and providing opportunities to the poor and middle class Americans, we will fail as a country.

Elizabeth Warren's life has destined her to deal with our economic issues. Hillary's has destined her to cozy up to the rich and famous.

Which one do we need? Elizabeth Warren. Elizabeth Warren is very real. Read her book. Check it out.

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
