The Senior Senator from Massachusetts, she defeated Scott
Brown in a hotly contested race in 2012. Brown claimed she had lied when she
had said that she was of Indian Descent. Apparently, it was the reason she got
her professorship at Harvard. However, attempts to find proof she was of Native
American Descent promptly turned up nothing.
But this time, she is not in the news because of whether or
not her ancestors were members of the Cherokee
and Delaware tribes. She has said constantly she is not running. But the emphases
may be put on the word “is.” Or, in the actual statement, “am.”
The woman is to the left of Hillary Clinton, which is saying
a lot, as everybody knows Some have even suggested that she should run to
solidify the youngest parts of the Democratic Party, where some think Hillary
Clinton is too far towards the center for comfort. (Doesn’t everybody that is
in politics too long seem to drift to the center?)
She is the first woman ever elected to the US Senate from her
state, and so you might say she is already a progressive.
Her first bill would have allowed students to borrow money
from the federal government at the same rate as the banks do, saying that students
should get the same deal. She had run on a platform that included attacks on
Wall Street CEOs, saying they had wrecked the economy.
According to the Washington
Times, she seemed to suggest at one hearing that, due to the rise of
worker’s productivity over the years, the minimum wage should be at least $22
per hour. (By that logic, taken far enough back, it could be over $100, but
Warren is not ready to take it that far.) Enough said on Warren. As one last
note, the media is swooning over her, and the Unltra Liberals would love
nothing more than having her in the White House, and Hillary Clinton, like I
said, has been in politics a long time. These are not predictions, but they are
facts.
