Of course, she was.

Don't think it takes much to assess Elizabeth Warren is a lot closer to Bernie Sanders' positions than Hillary. Hillary is the one in the media fighting allegations of being "Republican Lite".

Hillary served as president of the Wellesley Young Republicans Jarqui Dec 2015 #83
So? EW voted for Reagan when she was an ADULT. Like, finished with college and everything. bravenak Dec 2015 #84
Prove that please with links Jarqui Dec 2015 #85
She said she was a Republican. bravenak Dec 2015 #86
In other words, your allegation that Warren voted for Reagan is made up conjecture Jarqui Dec 2015 #87

fyi I think Hillary is shown beside Gerald Ford (on her left) in this 1968 picture Jarqui Dec 2015 #118
Hillary was a Democrat by 1968. And it's "Democratic events," not "Democrat events." SunSeeker Dec 2015 #121
Hillary did not vote for Goldwater. She was too young to vote in 1964. SunSeeker Dec 2015 #20

Sanders cannot register as a Democrat because there is no such thing in Vermont. merrily Dec 2015 #38
But he could identify as a Democrat like all the other VT Democrats do hack89 Dec 2015 #41
Oh, but he did. merrily Dec 2015 #42
No he most certainly did not dsc Dec 2015 #45

His is doing it now dsc Dec 2015 #49
So why is there an "I" next to his name if he has been a Dem forever? nt hack89 Dec 2015 #48
Poster, please. Spare me the silly games. I never said "forever." To the contrary, merrily Dec 2015 #51
But you agree that he could have run in VT as Dem if he wanted to? hack89 Dec 2015 #52
LOL! Vermont Democratic Party nominated him more than once while he ran as an Indie. merrily Dec 2015 #55
"Sanders cannot register as a Democrat because there is no such thing in Vermont." hack89 Dec 2015 #56
Hah? Your question makes no sense. Beyond that, if you have a point, do try to make it. merrily Dec 2015 #58
When did he do that? George II Dec 2015 #131
Please don't be disingenuous. Beacool Dec 2015 #96
Right backatch, beacool. Nothing about stating Vermont law accurately, as I did, is disingenuous. merrily Dec 2015 #98
That may be so, but for years he refused to be considered a Democrat. Beacool Dec 2015 #99

I didn't know that. Bernie should just ask Elizabeth to be his VP candidate now. Zorra Dec 2015 #70
No. She should stay in the Senate where she can continue her work. jeff47 Dec 2015 #74
