Democrat Elizabeth Warren warned Saturday that Republican policies being promoted by its emerging presidential field would create an "American nightmare" that would crush opportunities for students and workers, deepen wage inequality and favor Wall Street banks and huge corporations.
Warren's speech before several thousand party loyalists at a California Democratic convention in Anaheim was greeted with thunderous cheers while scores of delegates waved signs emblazoned with her name.
The Massachusetts senator and favorite of the party's left wing ridiculed the GOP's potential 2016 field, including Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who has proposed a double-digit cut in state aid for higher education.
Warren said Walker's idea of leadership was "cut taxes for billionaires and giant corporations and then say there is no more money for anybody else."
She faulted President Ronald Reagan, a former California governor who lived in Los Angeles, for what she said was a three-decade assault on the middle class.
"They attacked wages. They attacked pensions. They attacked health care. They attacked unions," Warren said. Republican policies "attacked all the pieces that had built Americas great middle class."
"Trickle-down economics was nothing more than political cover for helping the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful," she said.....

This buffoon is an outright socialist, and knows nothing of what she speaks.
“... an outright socialist...”
bttt
Just look at how well the middle class is doing in states run by democrats.
Look at how well the country is doing under smothering, job killing Leftist dictates.
This one really, really needs to be called out for the total flaming idiot she is. The middle class prospered under Reagan like no other period in US history. There is perhaps some argument that the criminally insane and the mentally deranged lost some of the benefits they were entitled to, and perhaps the only good thing about Elizabeth Warren is that she has something resembling an arguing point in pointing this out. But a nation that that is run based upon serving the needs of these /13 of 1% lowest levels of society is not going to prosper.

Democrats – A bunch of rich people convincing poor people to vote for the rich people by telling the poor people that other rich people are the reason they’re poor.
I wish he were still here attacking me.
The continuously attack the past to distract from the present.
Nobody helped the middle class and poor more than Ronald Reagan
Nobody hurt the middle class and poor more than Barack Obama.

Bingo. Well said.
Well yeah, but it was only to get ideas for TOTUS's speechwriters.
She needs to go to the local Cheese Shop and show them her “high cheekbones”.
My dog RIP was smarter than this twerp by a long shot!
Based on a premise that is a flat-out lie, and projecting her own worldview onto her enemies.
Typical “progressive”.
Squaw Speaking Bull is trying to run to the left of Bernie Sanders...popcorn anyone?
That rings hollow in a state where government unions control every aspect of the political process.
I don’t care who it is. If they vote to spend more than we have with no plan to fix that, then they should not be trusted. That includes Warren, of course, and any republican who mouths the right words but casts the wrong votes.
Oh look the fake rich Indian is speaking. Since she’s in California maybe she can do a traditional Indian rain dance we could sure use some precipitation..She hates the rich but is herself filthy rich living in an 8 million dollar house, perhaps she needs to give up some of her wealth
Plus I hear Fauxcahontas poops in the house, so RIP has that over her as well (I assume).
She has the microphone, and media willing to use up barrels of ink and air time to repeat endlessly her message into heads full of mush.
All for the same common goal of disintegrating this once great culture.
