Financial Reform Is About to Catch a Second Wind And Elizabeth Warren is ready to ride it
I wonder if Republicans and the corporate interests that successfully stopped her heading a CFPB are having any remorse with the influence she has now as a senator and the agenda she is able to drive in that capacity. She seems to only have gained influence and credibility.
She'll do less damage to the country as a junior senator than she would as a feckless 'crat. I mean, look at the differential damage HRC did as a senator and as the secretary of state. It's not like our other option from MA was gonna be some swaggering libertarian, right? -XC
We had a long discussion last night about Elizabeth Warren vs Hillary Clinton. The general consensus was that progressives will not want to make the same mistake twice. Meaning that Warren has a similar resume to Obama prior to coming in to office and progressives will want a candidate with more "backbone". I do hope that Warren and others can continue to shine a light on Wallstreet's desire to roll back Dodd/Frank and essentially recreate the environment that got us in trouble in the first place. That said, anyone know where a fella can go buy some credit default swaps?
