Hillary is a favorite of these wealthy power brokers, I met her at one of those 'fundraisers' only for the very, very wealthy. They PUSH their candidates.
Elizabeth Warren is not their kind of candidate, in fact they fear Democrats like Warren. And they have the money and the motives to start smear campaigns against anyone who threatens their comfortable world.
The good news is that more and more people have found out how these things work, and more and more people are refusing to go along with it.
THAT is why we see the push back of anyone who thinks we should have a choice, that money should not be a part of our electoral system, who has the NERVE to say "I cannot support this candidate you chose for me because .... ' 'HATER' they are called, intimidation tactics are deployed against them.
Very wealthy people are generally not very patient people. When they spend money they want results. And those who are not buying what they are selling, tend to get them very upset. They are USED to getting what they want.
You need not worry about supporting Warren, she is not on the list of candidates those in power would ever allow to run for the WH without her reputation and life as she knew it, being destroyed. I have a feeling she knows this.
