So she sure as shit was to the right of Hillary for many long years. That's a given. So maybe she had a 'road to Damascus' moment, or read a moving account of the life of Eugene Debs, I do not know. Somehow, someway, Warren moved from the Republican right wing to where she is today. Hillary aside, Warren is way more progressive than she was when she was a Supply Sider.

Do you know her narrative? Start with the years of Reagan's inaction about AIDS, end with her pulling everyone else to the left, tie the two together for me. In the middle, explain how she 'earned' her millions. Thanks!

Why people think these two have a conflict? abakan Apr 2015 #35

I see your point, but I think it's because Warren is fighting Wall Street while Hillary has appeared DesertDiamond Apr 2015 #37

That is EXACTLY the reason. Anyone who doesn't see that hasn't been paying attention. whathehell Apr 2015 #80
