Elizabeth Warren
In reply to the discussion: What Elizabeth Warren Has That Hillary Clinton Needs [View all]RiverLover
(7,830 posts)27. Thanks for all the info.
I wish this is the type of background info we'd see on the evening news. But that will never happen.
Gensler's background as chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission & drafting the Dodd-Frank act is being played up, as intended, in msm as making him a "wall street cop". !ha!
He made certain Frank-Dodd wasn't another Glass-Steagall. And he didn't make partner at Goldman Sachs by age 30 by being a man for regulation of the industry.
We are being played. Its an attempt anyways. She's really trying to win us over...
Hillary Clinton courts liberals in N.H.
Seeks to combat criticism of ties to Wall Street

...The language and ideas are designed to shore up the left-leaning wing of the party that has shown little enthusiasm for her candidacy.
Despite Clintons huge advantages in name recognition, organization, and fund-raising, a crucial challenge for her as she enters the race for the Democratic nomination is convincing liberal activists including Warrens ardent fans that she is prepared to challenge big banks and shares a commitment to closing Americas yawning income gap.
The majority of Americans understand that of course the deck is stacked, said Sanders, the socialist independent who is mulling a challenge of Clinton in the Democratic primary. You have to get beyond rhetoric and generalities.
Sanders wants Clinton to take a clear stand on a set of issues, including building the Keystone XL pipeline; a possible trans-Pacific trade pact; and breaking up some of the largest financial institutions.
Some of us have been talking about these issues for years, he said. The devil will be in the details....

There will be no details because it's just talk, no intention.

Great post. Especially the last part. Too many of our Democratic legislators are still playing

Do you have any idea how she relates to Bill de Blasio's new progressive strategy?

No doubt. Would LOVE BdB to run against Hillary if Elizabeth ultimately decides not to. He would win easily.
