Though he may well be right about the general public receives her rhetoric, those are conversations to be hand discretely, not in the press.

now. And could get a key role in her cabinet.

To my knowledge Warren has never said: "Soak the Rich!" and for Howard to suggest that is either Warren OR Sander's view makes him sound like he got advice from Rahm Emmanuel on how to Trash the Left/Progressive Wing of the Dem Party. Not Cool!
