Hillary Clinton lauds Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) as a progressive champion in a Time magazine tribute written amidst calls from the left that Clinton should use the freshman senator as a model in her presidential bid.
Praising Warrens unflagging determination to level the playing field for hardworking American families and her goal of helping others Share in the American Dream, Clinton compared the senator to the liberal lion, former Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-Mass).
It was always going to take a special kind of leader to pick up Ted Kennedys mantle as senior Senator from Massachusettschampion of working families and scourge of special interests, Clinton wrote in Warrens entry for Times 100 Most Influential People.
Elizabeth Warren never lets us forget that the work of taming Wall Streets irresponsible risk taking and reforming our financial system is far from finished.
Clinton also may have made the veiled message to the criticism shes received from the Warren wing of the party that is calling for a more progressive challenge to Clinton in the primary.
She never hesitates to hold powerful peoples feet to the fire: bankers, lobbyists, senior government officials and, yes, even presidential aspirants.
During her presidential rollout in Iowa, Clinton has already teased a number of policy platforms that progressives have praised. Shes called for the Supreme Court to rule in favor of a national right to gay marriage, criticized the discrepancy in CEO and worker pay, and floated the idea of a constitutional amendment for campaign finance reform.
Yes when they hired Hillary as Sec of State, it was a case of the old saying “keep your friends close and your enemies closer”
That was before Liz found the horse head in her bed.
