US Congressman Says Bankers Should Find Way to 'Neuter' Sen. Elizabeth Warren

3. Oh, and the Third Way quite agrees with them - enough to write about it in an opinion piece

in the WSJ. Funny how the Third Way and the GOP have the same goals, innit?

In a strongly worded column in the Wall Street Journal this week, two members of the think tank Third Way attacked Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), arguing that her muscular, bank-busting style of liberalism will alienate moderate voters from the Democratic Party in future elections. In 2008, Democrats won with "a vision of pragmatic progressive government, not fantasy-based blue-state populism," Third Way's Jon Cowan and Jim Kessler wrote, warning Democratic policymakers not to follow Warren "over the populist cliff."

Just read it. You can see that the Third Way is sharpening their knives to use against Social Security and Medicaid and Medicare.
The Third Way proudly advises the New Democrat Coalition, and Hillary is their standard bearer.
I can't vote for that.

The Wall Street Journal’s pathetic attack on Elizabeth Warren
A new Op-Ed from the WSJ tries -- and fails -- to take down the Senate's liberal icon

In a new Op-Ed for the Wall Street Journal, Jon Cowan and Jim Kessler of the Third Way think tank warn that Democrats will only win if they ignore the recent success of Mayor Bill de Blasio and Sen. Elizabeth Warren and reject “economic populism.” Their argument is not convincing but, surprising no one, establishment centrists like Mike Allen of Politico and Ron Fournier of National Journal loved the piece. Allen even went so far as to categorize it as a game changer (which evidently sent a thrill up the leg of whoever runs Third Way’s Twitter account). But for those of us who don’t already wish to see Social Security and Medicare benefits cut, Third Way’s piece was little more than a reminder of the selfishness (and increasing irrelevance) of the economically plutocratic wing of the Democratic Party.

.....

Yes, according the the Third Way - which runs the table with Hillary, Warren has gotten out of hand.
