She is indirectly pressuring HRC to listen to the base rather than only to big money. EW is not putting herself in the position of being wrong in making a prediction. And if EW is dissatisfied with what transpires, the door is open.

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

Look. People with money do not pay out just to be listened to. JDPriestly Feb 2015 #36

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

.... BlancheSplanchnik Feb 2015 #31

haha, good to hear! InAbLuEsTaTe Feb 2015 #32

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

This is AFTER the meeting w/ Warren, held at HRC's request. Divernan Feb 2015 #23

Fantastic article. RiverLover Feb 2015 #24
