9. Have you read her book?

She explains why she changed her mind about the Republican viewpoint.

She researched why people, ordinary people, declare bankruptcy. That is why she changed her political affiliation. She does not come out expressly and say that, but it is quite clear from her book that she is a Democrat because of the research she did that puts the lie to Reaganomics.

People can change. She did. Read her book and you will understand.

Of course, not everyone wants to understand. Not everyone wants to learn. Not everyone wants to change.

It is up to the individual to obtain information that can make change possible. If a person wants to condemn Elizabeth Warren based upon the mistakes she made before she educated herself and discovered the truth, but condemning her on that basis betrays an unwillingness in the person doing the condemning to learn and discover the truth.

Hardly a liberal trait. That Elizabeth Warren did the research, that she changed her mind shows what a real liberal she is. Of course, she had to do a lot of reading in order to change her mind.

Her book is an interesting read. She is brilliant. She can learn and has learned. She asks the right questions.

By the way, Hillary was a Goldwater Republican in her youth.
