2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumElizabeth Warren shows weakneses of Hillary Clinton's Wall Street Connection Defense. She also
maintains that many laws against economic crimes already exist, but the Administration
personnel rarely apply them strongly enough to the businesses that break those laws.
Elizabeth also points out clearly that, unlike Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders has not
accepted a single cent from business corporations and private interests. This is not a
direct endorsement of Bernie for the presidency, but it does show clearly whose side
she is on. I don't know why she has not yet openly endorsed Bernie, but I assume
she has her reasons.
This is a highly interesting article covering several important points.

Debbie Schultz, DNC Chair, and all her dirty tricks to prevent Sanders from getting more
public exposure. These dirty tricks are reminiscent of the way the Republicans behave.
Recently Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, DNC Vice-Chair, just quit the DNC to openly
support Bernie Sanders.

(2,145 posts)I don't understand so few responses. Expected a rich discussion of politics and ideas but not so much. Disappointing. Warrens report seems to have been filed away as well. Where did you find it? Warren's website?
BTW, I wrote a letter (finally!) to the Sanders campaign headquarters in Burlington to try and influence (I know, I know!) Bernie's lack of an evolving message. He promises and explains but there's so much more he can be talking about. The main point in my letter was that he should be shedding light on his hold on the Califf appointment by Obama to head FDA because of his ties to big pharma. Why doesn't Bernie say that at every stop? That's activism. Also, that's what he did in Burlington. He replaced government officials with smart, honest people that he knew. Warren is saying that enforcement is the problem. Well, that is Bernie's strength but no one knows about it. That is bad campaigning.
If DU people really want to make differences, they should be out there on popular blogs arguing back - Politico comes to mind which features a great big ad for Hillary on it's front page. So, did Hillary pay for that? Why not Bernie?

I think an author could make an excellent connection showing possible difference in thought direction between Clinton and Warren but this author completely misses the mark. It's as if he decided what he wanted to say and then went for the quotes.
Still the quotes are worth reading and is a reason Warren rocks.
