Elizabeth Warren’s Powerful Message Has Created A Movement

[GoLeft TV]

Bernie Sanders is helping to energize an otherwise boring Democratic race for the nomination, but his surge began long before most people even knew who Bernie Sanders was. The real credit for this surge in populism lies with Senator Elizabeth Warren, who has become a political rockstar among progressives. Though Bernie has been talking about these issues for years, Warren’s popularity brought them to the mainstream.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins and author Hal Goodman discuss how all of this happened.

1. Oh please. All due respect to Warren's voice on income issues, she hardly deserves

credit for leading a surge in issues Bernie has championed for decades. Here she actually claims credit for Occupy:

She's a strong supporter (finally, after age 46) to have on the correct side of a populist economic movement, but others deserve more credit.

2. Your Point Of View Is OK, But I DO Feel That WHEN

she actually beat Scott Brown when all odds were against her, THAT was big deal! AND, here at DU and perhaps with millions of Democrats IF she should endorse this place will explode!

So, SHE IS a much sought after endorsement. I'm sitting on the fence with this myself, for specific reasons of my own. AND I'm not one who feels he should pick as a running mate should he be our nominee.

My reasons aren't earth shaking, just my own thing.
