(57,936 posts)I thought we needed Kerry in the Senate.
We need Elizabeth Warren in the White House so that she can appoint as Secretary of Treasury, a Fed chair and to the regulatory commissions as well as the Supreme and lower courts people who are on the side of working Americans rather than the 1%.
Hillary is too close to the 1%, Wall Street, hedge funds, the bankers. She will never be free to serve the American people. See my post # 15. She will have a terrible time running because she will have to answer for everything that happened in the past that was wrong whether she was responsible for it or not.
Elizabeth Warren said about campaigning in Kentucky for the Senate seat in 2014, right now candidates are and will increasingly be judged by whether they are on the side of ordinary people or on the side of the 1%ers.
Hillary cannot honestly answer that question to the satisfaction of the American people.
Elizabeth Warren can. She spent much of her career studying bankruptcy issues and discovering why ordinary Americans have fallen so far behind financially. She understands the problem. Everyone else is ignoring it.
Hillary has been on the wrong side of too many economic issues.
The Brat victory over Cantor was yet another indication that populist ideas are becoming more and more popular in the US. Hillary is not believable when she tries to espouse populist ideas. After all, Clinton reappointed Greenspan to head the Fed.
See my post # 15.
Hillary has far too much conservative political baggage. She could, of course, argue that she has found Jesus and repudiates her past sins, but that will take a lot of thunder out of her campaign.
