Would Elizabeth Warren’s Fighting Spirit Be Enough to Beat Hillary?
12/17/14



Elizabeth Warren is outspoken, uncompromising, and strong-willed. Everyone knows that. However, would her brash personality be enough to defeat Hillary Clinton in a presidential showdown? New York Times columnist David Brooks seems to think so.

...Brooks continues to bolster Warren’s theme of fighting and confrontation by noting how the Democratic Party is “growing more combative,” saying the “there’s an underlying and sometimes vituperative sense of frustration toward President Obama, and especially his supposed inability to go to the mat.”

Each year, more and more Democrats become dissatisfied with the ever-increasing amount of power that corporations accrue with each election cycle. In 2001, 51 percent of Democrats were displeased with corporate power. Ten years later, that number grew to 79 percent.

Warren has the aggression, but she also has the intelligence to temper that aggression from becoming petty, white-hot anger. Also, there are more Democrats that are willing to buy into her populist, anti-corporate message. Now, as to whether or not she’d defeat Hillary, Brooks reminds us that history is against Warren because “the establishment wins.” However, Warren has the fire, and appears to have the support.
