(45,319 posts)He was preferable to Hillary in spite of some very unsavory campaign moments around LGBT issues. By far. Because she's pretty shitty in that regard, she has good press but it is wafer thin in actual weight.
I am not characterizing Warren, I am stating the facts of her political history.
What is a characterization is to call her a 'housewife' during her Republican years, up until the mid 90's when she made millions of dollars in various professional works during that time.
She should be able to very easily address these things. She could use her past as part of a great narrative of progress as a person and citizen away from bad policy and inequality and toward a Democratic future. It could be gold. It writes itself.
Being defensive about actual facts is not a winning tactic.
