Elizabeth Warren Is Waiting To See Just How Progressive Hillary Clinton Is
2/24/2015
Liberal hero Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Tuesday that she's waiting to see how progressive a Hillary Clinton presidential campaign would be.
Asked by the Rev. Al Sharpton on MSNBC's "Politics Nation" whether Clinton would be a "progressive warrior," Warren didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement.
"You know, I think that's what we gotta see," Warren said. "I want to hear what she wants to run on and what she says she wants to do. That's what campaigns are supposed to be about."
Warren's comments follow her private meeting with Clinton in December, when Clinton asked Warren for policy recommendations, The New York Times reported....

Well, this is one of the few times I disagree with Elizabeth, because we all know now that people can talk & run as progressives during campaigns while actually being Third Way Centrist corporate tools.
But at least she didn't endorse HRC just yet. And I hope down the road, Elizabeth doesn't say, "Oh look, Hillary actually IS progressive, look at all she's said that sounds so progressive..."
Time will tell!

OP
That's part of the problem. Progressive policies do well in elections that Dems lose.

HRC should just declare as a moderate republican and open up the democratic field IMHO

Hillary could win the Republican nomination, tho it might be a close race between her and Jebbie.

I like both of these "terrific" women but this back and forth is hurting our chances in 2016
