Hillary Clinton praising Elizabeth Warren?

Holy crap!

If anyone wasn't thinking that FDR Democrats were making great progress in taking back our party...well, here we are. "Liberal" ain't a cuss word no more.

Americans are waking from our three-decade slumber.

Pedal to the metal, baby!

1. Now, all we need is a liberal president. Not a president who can repeat what Warren

and Sanders say, in order to get elected. All this fawning is just because Hillary needs Warren and Sanders supporters' votes.

Think: if Hillary's aspiring to be a Liberal, then Liberalism is clearly what America wants.

(As to whether she'd actually be a Liberal... we can each guess for ourselves.)

5. What we need is to elect a president which is going to continue on with her past record.

I am sure it will surprise many the things Hillary is talking about on the campaign trail are some of the things she has already voted on or advocated for in her life except for Citizens United since this is an event where she was not in the Senate and not voting but now we know where she is on this issue.

Elizabeth and Bernie represent a portion of the Party she's a "tad light" on. She'll have Elizabeth near, I believe, if for to watch her alone. Bernie has earned a prominent place, as well. And if she surrounds herself with Real Progressives as advisors, it sends a message.

(Here I go again) And if she picks Julian Castro...setting him up in 8 years and with the Hispanic voting bloc...I think she's good to go.

These moves will tell me (us) which way she is leaning and will govern.

"Liberal ain't a cuss word no more" Right On
