I think that all of the Purity Left should reflect on the important lesson of the last few days. A few months back, Elizabeth Warren cherry-picked a portion of the bible, Matthew 25:40, as only one of the important reasons she went into politics:
Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Not bad for a rank amateur, but yesterday Hillary Clinton took Warren to school by embracing the entire Bible as the most influential book in her life.
Boom! There it is! Game over!
It's time for the Moonbat Firebaggers to cut the crap, and face the facts: Hillary is everything that Elizabeth Warren wants to be, but can't because Hillary is smarter, tougher, and more virtuous. I mean, if Warren's so great, why don't the big banks pay her $200k a pop for obsequious speeches? One reason, and one reason only: Wall Street only wants the best, and that's Hillary, not some difficult woman from godless Massachusetts.
While Warren only started the Consumer Financial Protection Board, Hillary has started lots and lots of great things that I forget at this moment, but trust me, she has.
While Warren's sponsored misguided legislation to ease the 99%'s pain by bringing back Glass-Steagall and reducing the cost of repaying school loans while raising taxes on the wealthy, Hillary sponsored tons of great legislation that I forget at this moment, but trust me, she has.
While Warren's fighting against the Trans Pacific Partnership which will create millions of great jobs for Americans, Hillary helped author the blessed thing.
While Warren only came from way behind to defeat the most popular politician in Massachusetts by seven points, Hillary has won tons of tough political battles that I forget at this moment, but trust me, she has.
I'll bet if you asked Warren for her greatest regret in life, she'd say that it's being unable to vote for a war that killed hundreds of thousands or millions of people without even reading the 90-page National Intelligence Estimate on whether there were any good reasons to start a war. How freakin' cool is that? Voting for war based purely on her gut feeling. Now that's faith, the kind of faith that Sen. Warren needs more of.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she hopes Hillary Rodham Clinton runs for president in 2016 the latest in a series of declarations of support by the Massachusetts Democrat, who some have speculated could seek the Oval Office herself.
"All all of the women Democratic women I should say of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run, and I hope she does. Hillary is terrific," Warren said during an interview broadcast Sunday on ABC's "This Week," noting that she was one of several senators to sign a letter urging Clinton to run in 2016.
Warren is a favorite among many liberal Democrats, and the release of her new book, "A Fighting Chance," has stoked speculation that she may consider a presidential run in 2016. Warren has repeatedly insisted she will not run for president.
"I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president. I'm not running for president." Warren said in a series of video clips shown prior to the interview.

(89,244 posts)the "purity left" . the fact that they are willing to support her despite her having been a republican into her adult years and most of her life shows they are are willing to to overlook certain things.
also some of the so called Warren supporters are not even Warren supporters as they only seem to bring her up to bash other Democrats.
i'm not seeing on the ground support for her .

Until Warren decked him.

(94,489 posts)...you knew that didn't you? She certainly didn't turn down the check of my wife, the 1%er Wall Street lawyer, or any number of her acquaintances. I remember the cocktail party was attended in a swanky apartment on the UES.
Of course, it's possible that the 1%ers and Wall Street Democrats actually care about progressive policies, whether they're supporting Warren or Clinton. You'd be amazed how many of the same folks I've met at READY FOR HILLARY. Oh, right, that list would include Warren too...
