Very succinctly put by Senator Warren

1. She is right

[immoderate]

2. Imagine Liz running for president, and pulling Paul Ryan as an opponent!

Oh! The Destruction!

8. I don't think that is what we would want ...

as Ryan has, already, been cast as the "very serious, policy wonk"; while Warren's passion will be cast as the "emotional pleadings."

[CTyankee]

9. well, it's hard to make that case for a tenured Harvard Law professor...

She has a distinguished career. I think she can best him in any debate on being serious about policy. She has marshaled the facts...he is the one with the unserious attitude about the 99%.

When she says things like this, she is pointing to a truth that any unemployed person can relate to. If you desperately want and need a job and you can't find one, you'd want to vote for the person who understands you, not someone who would turn you away...

12. It's what I want

Let's see Ryan defend his "serious ideas" against someone smarter than he is and with better ideas.

[immoderate]

13. Bring it on!

Ryan does not get challenged much. Let it run out. My money's on Liz.

17. Are you suggesting then

that progressives should acquiesce to whatever the media narrative is?

Seriously, if you put them in the same room and put that debate on television, the only reason I wouldn't watch it all is that I feel compassion for those ( in this case Ryan) who are being publicly humiliated. Naaaah. I would love to see his ass kicked from here to Halfiax, and she is the person to do it.

Actually, Senator Warren would not publicly humiliate him. She would show his Randian positions for the mean spirited, rotten and vile nonsense that it is. She would humiliate his "ideas." and that is far more lethal.

7. Run Elizabeth! Run!

[sellitman]

18. Ditto!

[treestar]

10. Yes all Republicans do that

Their new talking point is that if there is not job, they will invent one! They claim there is no unemployment that is not voluntary.

[reformist2]

11. Repugs can't have it both ways - we need to call them out on their contradictions more often.

[mountain grammy]

14. Paul Ryan thinks what he's paid to think.

[Brigid]

15. Another K & R for Elizabeth Warren.

[Le Taz Hot]

16. She would kill in a debate.

Nobody is her equal. The woman won a full scholarship as the state's debate co-champion.

[Jake2413]

20. She is great

Such a way to get to the point of it all

[rhett o rick]
