Sen. Chuck Schumer came to the defense of Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Sunday, saying critics should not compare her to Tea Party icon Sen. Ted Cruz.

“I think the soul of the Democratic Party is economic issues, and on economic issues, we are united,” Schumer said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “And Elizabeth Warren is constructive. She’s not like Ted Cruz, ‘Shut down the government’ or ‘Don’t fund things if I don’t get my way.’ "

Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, has been criticized in some circles within her own party for leading the charge against a $1.1 trillion spending bill that had the backing of the White House. Warren and other progressives railed against provisions that would undo parts of the Dodd-Frank Act and chip away at campaign finance laws.

“I think comparing the two wings of the parties is like night and day,” the New York Dem said.

An understatement, Chuck. You're all communists!

Is Ted more than 1/32nd Cherokee? LOL

I thought Shuck Choomer was a capo for the Clinton Crime Family.

Now he’s sucking up to FauxCahontas?

Hillary’s prospects really are dimming fast....

I suspect Ted Cruz has considerably more native American blood in his veins than Big Chief Running Joke.

““I think the soul of the Democratic Party is economic issues, and on economic issues, we are united,” Schumer said “

He went on to say “Capitalist pigs must die, at least the ones that don’t donate to democrats”.

This tells us Cruz is peeling off more conservative dems than the RATS can tolerate. I smell fear and desperation.

the soul of the Democratic Party is economic issues

Today's Democratic Party is about welfare socialism, and the Republican party is about job creating capitalism.

Both systems are about economics.

Go figure!

Its what Reagan did and it wasn't just economic issues Reagan sold them on.

““I think the soul of the Democratic Party is economic issues, and on economic issues, we are united,” Schumer said “

The "Soul" of the democrat party pretty apparent...

I think we should start collecting het quotations and writings with sourcing of them. We are going to be hearing a lot from her and it would be good to have this on hand.

I think there are enough patriots in the New media to keep that list for 2016.

FauxCahontas is just tapping into the mindless depths of the Bolshecrat constituency that if someone claims they are against Wall St. and for Main St. they will be proclaimed Emperor, even, if they have not clothes. (kinda of like Obummer) The bottom line is, no matter what the law is, if they think bailing out Wall St. will benefit them, they will do it.

That is true. She has a party that supports her.

[Maelstorm]

You are right. Actually I should’ve said she has party leadership that supports her.
