Elizabeth Warren: Our Populist Agenda - in Her Own Words

18. I think that with the economy improving, people might be lulled into thinking

That half measures and tepid social liberalism are all that we need. Some Democrats only care about social issues and don't think economics are that important, so EW doesn't appeal to them. But it's obvious that the political strategists have figured that out and can now run campaigns with good graphics and liberal slogans which have nothing to do with the actual philosophy of governance.

We do need a plan. We need a vision. The best presidents have always been very forthright in sharing their vision, sometimes calling it The New Deal, The Fair Deal, The Great Society. That really helps to bring focus and move a huge country like the US forward.

I believe that EW is hammering out her message. She is focusing on economics because she is expert and she can not be pushed around in that arena. I can't believe a person who is fighting for the rights of everyone would be crap on social issues. The big question is how does she take on the MIC? Though I saw she was talking about reducing the size of the military. So she is feeling her way, gaining confidence, learning the ins and outs. It's fascinating to watch. At the very least, maybe she will take over for Reid in 2016 though I am not sure she wants to be in charge of procedure as that takes its own kind of wonkiness.

But she is not now, currently, running!
