Elizabeth Warren

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) doesn't seem all that ready for Hillary.
...Warren seems to have adopted a set talking point for questions about the contrast between her and Clinton. Recently, Warren has responded to this idea by attempting to take the focus off her and Clinton and noting she wants all politicians to advocate aggressively to address income inequality and problems in the financial industry. This strategy shows Warren isn't currently interested in launching direct attacks on Clinton. However, as of now, she's clearly not giving Clinton a ringing endorsement either.
In an interview on "Morning Joe" Wednesday Warren was pressed for her thoughts on the idea Clinton hasn't focused on advocating for the middle class against major financial interests. Warren said people "need to see" what Clinton plans to do. She also stressed she's not just pushing Clinton on issues like regulating banks and decreasing interest rates on student loans and wants "everybody" in politics to take up these causes.
"She hasn't declared yet, she hasn't laid out what she's going to run on and I think that's what we need to see," Warren said of Clinton, adding, "But I want to be clear, I think this is what everybody should be talking about. Democrat or Republican."
When asked if she would urge Clinton to distance herself from Wall Street and champion Warren's pet cause to lessen the student loan burden, Warren replied, "You bet." However, she quickly returned to stressing this is something she is pushing everyone in politics to focus on and not just Clinton.
"I'm going to push everybody," Warren said. "Do I not look like Im gonna push?"...

(2,845 posts)You don't want to support Hillary Liz? Say it. Just freaking say it. I liked them both! But sick of Warren's word games on candidacy and opinions of Hillary. Used to read Warren posts non stop. Over it. Now supporting Hillary wholeheartedly. Deal with President Clinton Senator Warren.

(2,845 posts)Strange support thats not real support from Ms Warren ugh I dont care for these non definitive answers. And if she is not running and does not support those that are running.... I can't respect it. I can't stand how she is hemming and hawing. It doesn't match up to her strong economic message. I want her to be strong in her endorsement or non endorsement of SOS Clinton... be strong or say no comment. I won't read many posts involving her for some time.
