Elizabeth Warren knows how the economy is rigged against most of us and knows how to convey that to the audience.

(202,189 posts)She's always on-message and Stephen Colbert loved having her there. And besides posting Colbert's monologue every night - I figure we can use the humor here - I also post his political guests and this was his big interview of the week!

(202,189 posts)I have a couple of favorites - and I've always been admirer of Senator Warren, and my estimation increased even further when I watched her "persist" when she was shut down by Mitch McConnell!

(202,189 posts)She knows her facts, she can speak on any issue and she's always on message, as I've said. My only reservation about her becoming president is that she's such an important force in the Senate. But I wouldn't be at all surprised if she "persists" all the way to the White House. As for taking on Trump, she'd leave him in the dust before he knew what hit him!

I worry about every one of our candidates vs trump. debating a mud 'rassler with facts is not always a productive endeavor.

(202,189 posts)The moderators should have sent him back to his spot! But if it is Elizabeth Warren, I can't see her putting up with that for one second - now we'll be prepared. But I also can't see Trump actually debating - all he knows how to do is to rant about any ridiculous thought that crosses what passes for his mind - and then wait for the applause.
I can't see a Republican holding Ted Kennedy's seat - but you're right, the Republican governor would appoint a Republican and her term still has 5 years to go - and I also remember Scott Brown...
