(62,325 posts)What matters is how the light changes their views on some pretty important issues.
Warren represents the people on major issues, such as the corruption on Wall St, the unprecedented power they have over this country's government and is not shy about speaking her mind AND doing something about it. Same thing on other major issues, such as the attacks on SS eg.
Hillary otoh, still supports Corporate America, is supported BY them, and doesn't appear to see how much damage they have done to this country.
So a better way to criticize those who once were Republicans, is not to determine WHEN they changed parties, but WHY and how their views reflect that change today.
Until this country fixes the problem of corruption on Wall St, nothing else can be accomplished. The power they have, over Congress, the WH, the Media, our electoral system, the SC, makes it nearly impossible to get any representation for the people.
Warren passes that test. Hillary not so much.
