Same for Hillary. If you look at her record, she didn't introduce many bills. She voted for bills, sometimes on the wrong side.
Elizabeth Warren came up with the idea for the Consumer protection bureau. She is fighting for reduced interest rates on student loans. She is proposing a 21st century Glass-Steagall bill and more regulation for banks.
I don't think Hillary or Barack Obama did that much before running for president.
In fact, Bill Clinton was a governor, but on the national level, he did not have the experience that Elizabeth Warren has in working in Congress with other members of Congress.
Do you have any link to evidence showing that Elizabeth Warren does not work well with others in Congress?
Hillary is the one who has trouble getting along with Republicans. They just hate her.
They don't hate Elizabeth Warren.
Besides, I don't think that it is possible for any member of Congress to get important legislation passed right now. Congress is pretty much at a stalemate when it comes to any innovative legislation. So the question is irrelevant.
Elizabeth Warren has probably met with more foreign leaders at this point in her career than Barack Obama had. Elizabeth Warren's expertise is economics and law -- bankruptcy law. Obama's was foreign policy and law. Bush's? An MBA doesn't make a person much of an expert at anything. Maybe he was an expert on managing a football team. Rah! Rah!
Hillary has met a lot of foreign leaders but I don't trust her at all when it comes to economics. She probably thinks she knows a lot because she talks to a lot of important people about the topic. But she doesn't begin to know what Elizabeth Warren knows.
You can't have everything. I think it is time finally for the United States to have a president who will manage the economy. Foreign policy is not our biggest problem right now even though if you are in D.C. you probably think it is.
