I totally disagree with this assessment.
I don't think she's lying about the fact she thinks Hillary is terrific. I think she genuinely believes that Hillary is terrific. Elizabeth Warren is an honest person in a great position of influence. That's what makes her such an asset to the Democratic Party.
She has no interest in engaging in attacks against members of her own party. She sees the real enemy and that is the Republican party. Anyone who saw her interviews yesterday will see this. They are trying to block everything she believes in.
Another thing I noticed when I saw her on the Rachel Maddow show was how proud she is of the CFPB. Her brainchild and implemented by President Obama.
There is no civil war within the party, much to the chagrin of some folks.

This nonsense parsing her words is just nonsense. What would these people with too much time on their hands do with Kennedy's speeches? Or Truman's?

I do not believe electing another Corporate Democrat would move us in the right direction.
I believe we need to move in exactly the opposite direction if our country is to survive.
Face it capitalism is dead.

(21,115 posts)Everyone loves her....she is just NOT running for President....she said so herself. She also said Hillary Clinton is terrific and she signed a letter along with other women in politics to encourage Hillary to run...but none of that matters right?

(53,475 posts)... you've got people screaming that "she's not running for President" although she's never ruled out running for President.
You've got people saying she's too inexperienced, that her followers are not "reality-based" and a bunch of other garbage.
I too think Hillary is terrific, in that she was a terrific SOS. I would only vote for her for President in a "lesser of two evils" situation. Far too hawkish, too indebted to Wall Street and WalMart for me.
Then there's this ...

(18,402 posts)That's all that has been claimed, based on her own acknowledgment. It's just a fact, which may be of no significance to you, or may be something to ponder. Your choice, entirely.

When asked "and do you think Hillary would make a good president" she avoided answering and instead stated I think Hillary Clinton is terrific, We've got to stay focused on these issues right now.
