(5,714 posts)1. She's unelectable. Winning a Senate election in Massachusetts is a far cry from winning the US Presidency.
2. She has yet to give an adequate explanation for why, after voting for Republicans-including DU "favorites" like Reagan and Bush the Elder-for much of her adult life, she "suddenly" had an epiphany about "economic" issues. It was clear as day to most liberals that Reagan and Bush I were ruining the country with their horrific economic and social policies. ...yet Warren is suddenly a "convert" to "economic populism" and now is the "most progressive Democrat we have"?
Not questioning the sincerity of her "conversion", but I do question her past voting record and ideological views that some on DU wish to whitewash.
PS. I will vote for her if she's the Democratic nominee-I won't be a sore loser who will foolishly not vote for the Democratic nominee for President (you might as well vote Republican at that point). I do like her as a US Senator, too.
