Buce Discusses Elizabeth Warren
I have to support a fellow Rutgers-Newark alum. But I doubt my endorsement would be so eloquent as Buce’s discussion of her.
Relevant and even prescient commentary on news, politics and the economy.
A terrific person, candidate.
Ken, Psychologically I think having a few politicians like Warren would be good for the American people. But, I am sure that there are at least a few current politicians that started off Warren-like and ended up disappearing into DC and it’s games. I question that one junior person in DC can have an impact and, just supposing they do, I question that they will remain if they start trying to disrupt the DC culture.
Few Freshmen have Warren’s pre-existing national profile. The most recent equivalent would probably be Al Franken, interestingly enough a Harvard Man and considering his lack of seniority quite the effective Senator so far. And not showing much sign of disappearing into DC games.
Plus if you can navigate academic politics at Harvard you probably have most of the tactical skills needed to navigate the Senate cloakrooms. So I am thinking you would do fine on both the policy and poitical maneuvering fronts.

Maybe a bully puppet is worth while if the media grants coverage, and statements do resonate even for tea party in MA. Brown has needed the mantle of ‘independence’ from to maintain popularity.
Elizabeth Warren for president — you heard it here first!
Does that mean that so too was my more level headed reply deleted?
Probably
