[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I like Warren- I think she’s incredibly smart and capable.  Her proposals reflect the ideas she has supported for years.  She is who she is, and I respect that.

However, someone this smart should be reading the tea leaves better.  For example, I feel like pushing for universal health care right now is lose-lose- the votes aren't there, and the prospect of losing their private insurance will scare a high percentage of voters.  The public option would be a more realistic goal that could serve as a stepping stone to universal health care.

And sure she has plans to pay for everything NOW, but what about down the road?  How will forgiving everyone’s student debt further drive college costs up?

[b]I want her to answer some of these questions.  If she’s the nominee, I’ll vote for her. But I’m not the type of voter that needs convincing.[/b][/quote]
I say without joking that she probably has a plan for long term effects. She’s crafted these plans with input from experts in the relevant fields.[/quote]

DP. Has she shared them?  And what’s her plan for getting republican votes?

The problem with some of these liberal candidates is they’re from liberal states where they’ve never had to make compromises to get elected. But they’re not running for MA, VT, CA anymore.  Well I guess in the primary they sort of are, but to think all of these swing midwestern states are going to buy in in the general election is a stretch.[/quote]
Check out her issues page. I’m not reading all of them - they’re long, detailed and available on a variety of subjects and I don’t know which one is the most important issue to you.

I mean it’s funny - people excoriate her for having been a Republicans and excoriate her for being too pure of a liberal. She’s thoughtful and connects with people, she’s intelligent and educated, and she seems like she’ll fire up the Democrats. She’s not some shrieking freak liberal who’s promising the moon.[/quote]

I agree. It’s sad to see people get distracted by red herrings.

Or perhaps they just have a bias against women...

Huh. So being concerned about losing your current health plan is a “red herring”?  You folks need to check yourself. So clueless and out of touch, and that’s why you’ll lose again. Suckers!  :lol: [/quote]

Health insurance is not health care.  It’s a business to take health care dollars away from actual health care.[/quote]
