The reasons for caution about Ms. Warren’s candidacy extend to her positions on key issues. She strongly favors Medicare for All, but the American people reject a program that abolishes private health insurance by a margin of 56% to 41%. By 62% to 36% they oppose extending health insurance to immigrants who entered the U.S. illegally, another measure in her plan. She has endorsed Julián Castro’s proposal to decriminalize unauthorized border crossings, a move that 66% reject. She favors abolishing the death penalty and the Electoral College, two more proposals strong majorities oppose.
Ms. Warren also has endorsed a national ban on fracking, a stance that plays better in solidly Democratic coastal states than in the interior of the country. It is hard to imagine Texas will shift from red to blue to back a presidential candidate who wants to eliminate drilling for natural gas.
In Pennsylvania, state statistics show the natural-gas industry supports 80,000 jobs, most in areas of the state that have been devastated by the decline of traditional mining and manufacturing. These are the regions that generated a tidal wave of nearly 300,000 new votes for Mr. Trump in 2016, enabling him to overcome the longstanding Democratic edge in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Beyond these specifics, a larger question looms: Are the American people discontented enough with current conditions to embrace a candidate who unabashedly favors expansive and expensive federal programs in every sector of America’s economy and society? Will they believe that a candidate who advocates raising taxes on the wealthy and large corporations by many trillions of dollars over the next decade will leave the middle class untouched?
Ms. Warren is betting that the country is ready for structural change far more radical than anything Barack Obama dared propose.

Warren wants to make government bigger and more powerful? Raise taxes? Take away your freedom? Force you to make certain decisions?
She picked the wrong time to run on that platform. People don't want it.
Of course they are
You don’t get noticed for proposing sensible, or reasonable change.
A Clintonista? Makes sense. Mrs. Clinton will NOT allow a democrat first female president(while she’s alive) that is not her. You can count on any damaging info coming out on Warren or Harris to come from her. Trump team won’t have to do a thing. She would prefer TRUMP again.
I will worry about Warren (or any of the clowns running) if they become the Democrat nominee.
If the general election is between Warren and Trump, would they go so far as to endorse Trump?
Maybe if it comes to that they will find some excuse to say she isn't so scary after all.
Dumber being more apt.
Warren is just running an extortion racket on Wall Street.
If they pay then they get to play.
The socialist nonsense she is advocating is cause for concern, but let’s not forget we have a man who was sent for such a time as this. Trump is a fighter and won’t let her off the hook.
Warren is a radical and a liar and an ugly personality matching Hillary’s - she won’t attract votes in a great Trump economy.
Then she will lie about what she wants to do all the way to November, hoping people will forget, with the help of the media.
If Warren becomes the D’rats’ candidate, so many will immediately move their funds to high % cash, it will rock us terribly.
Time magazine cover a few months back, about lizzy: “I Have a Plan For That!” as the media gears up to get one of the America haters elected.
Thanks to crickets-chirping republicans for pointing this out. DISMANTLE CFPB.
If there is anything to the recent speculation that Hillary is about to announce her candidacy, Elizabeth Warren will be taken out (politically speaking) soon enough. It will be done in a way that will make it difficult to trace back to Hillary.
At the debates, PDJT will get under Lyin’ Lizzie’s skin and turn her into the snarling shrieking reptile that she is.
More radical than Bernie actually.
That is a good point that I hadn't considered. If Trump is reelected, Hillary can continue to play the victim card - "Remember I really won the 2016 election and that should be me."
I think that this idea implies that she won't run again unless she is absolutely sure she can beat Trump because if she loses to him in 2020, the victim card goes away. I might be wrong but I really don't think that she wants to run again. Hillary would run up an unimaginable body count if it would lead to her being anointed President. I just don't think she has the energy or health for another campaign and I think that she knows that Trump will be much harder to beat this time around. Hillary loves the attention and will continue to tease with the idea of running but in the end, she will say no.
With the left,it always progressively gets worse. It is shocking that these rat candidates make Obama and both Clintons “moderate” on the libtard scale. The push is now full on Socialism and a ongoing coup.
