14. Even as a new politician, Warren isn't stupid.

She is doing the right thing: wait and see how the campaign plays out. I'm not a spring chick...and I've been a political junkie since the 60's. We really don't know what a candidate Hillary or a President Hillary would do in every situation.

I'll vote for the Democratic candidate no matter who it is because they will reflect my values better than the Republican no matter who it may be.

When 18 year olds got the vote (a great victory), I voted for Jimmy Carter. I saw him on the campaign trail and he was impressive then and now. I remember (as we were just finishing our retreat from Vietnam) that a lot of my buddies thought that Carter was ex-military and a submariner; so he would be a hawk and expand the cold war. They were so wrong. He did not send any troops into war and negotiated peace at every turn.

A lot of people here jump the gun to assume they know what will happen in the future. As my computer once told me as I pounded on the keyboard, "Patience mortal!"

Elizabeth Warren Is Waiting To See Just How Progressive Hillary Clinton Is [View all] RiverLover Feb 2015 OP

Warren implying that she will go by campaign rhetoric? merrily Feb 2015 #1

Not good. nt RiverLover Feb 2015 #3

And if she doesn't like what she hears? leftofcool Feb 2015 #2

I guess she'd be the one to ask. RiverLover Feb 2015 #5

she's not a progressive she's a democrat Romeo.lima333 Feb 2015 #4

True Gman Feb 2015 #9

That's part of the problem. Progressive policies do well in elections that Dems lose. RiverLover Feb 2015 #12

I take this as a very good sign, the possibility exists for a Warren run. NYC_SKP Feb 2015 #6

I like your sunny outlook NYC_SKP, thanks! RiverLover Feb 2015 #8

Best way to look at it. daleanime Feb 2015 #10

Elizabeth's runnin - Hillary can "bank" on it, along with her Wall Street buddies. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #26

That was my reaction too, NYC_SKP. hedda_foil Feb 2015 #33

Let's hope Hillary listens to her Frosty1 Feb 2015 #7

Well she listened to bush*!! pocoloco Feb 2015 #15

Hillary owes too much to Wall Street to run honestly JDPriestly Feb 2015 #35

That may well be true BUT... Frosty1 Feb 2015 #38

HRC should just declare as a moderate republican and open up the democratic field IMHO on point Feb 2015 #11

Hillary could win the Republican nomination, tho it might be a close race between her and Jebbie. InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #27

I think Warren is just being, correctly, very politically correct. djean111 Feb 2015 #13

I thought it was an answer with perfect pitch. spooky3 Feb 2015 #16

Exactly, which is why progressives should make Hillary WORK for our vote... InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #28

Especially because there is no mushy middle. hedda_foil Feb 2015 #34

Even as a new politician, Warren isn't stupid. Sancho Feb 2015 #14

Rich people hire people to do their bidding. They give to charity JDPriestly Feb 2015 #37

We are all waiting to see if she will run on a progressive platform. beemer27 Feb 2015 #18

Didn't Warren sign a letter encouraging HRC to run and pledging support? ALBliberal Feb 2015 #19

This interview explains the letter & how she studiously avoids endorsing Hillary~ RiverLover Feb 2015 #20

I like both of these "terrific" women but this back and forth is hurting our chances in 2016 ALBliberal Feb 2015 #25

I can this. Hillary is a newcomer with essentially no track record... Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #21

WAITING.....??? ProudProg2u Feb 2015 #22
