How to Win Like Elizabeth Warren -- A field guide for the Democratic Party
The Nation ^ | November 19, 2014 | Stephanie Taylor

Posted on 11/20/2014 2:31:26 AM PST by Zakeet

From the rubble of the 2014 election, a conversation has started about the future of the Democratic Party. Senator Elizabeth Warren is central to that conversation.

This week, we learned that Warren will be joining the Senate Democratic leadership as strategic policy adviser to the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee. In this role — created specifically for her — she will help craft the party’s policies and priorities as well as serve as a liaison to progressive groups.

While there is some skepticism about the idea of a "liaison" to base Democratic voters, there is largely agreement that it is a good thing for the Democratic Party to follow her political footsteps. After all, she's adored by big swaths of the Democratic electorate and the public at large. On the campaign trail this fall, she was welcomed with open arms in Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan, and other reddish-purple states, drawing overflow crowds cheering on her message of tougher Wall Street regulation and kinder policies for working people.

But what is it that works about her? What is her special sauce? Other Democratic and progressive candidates ask me all the time how they can capture the intangible "it," that Warren magic. Below, I've dissected her tactics and her policies, which are one and the same, to help candidates better understand how to tread her path.

True. The only things most people know about her are that she lied about being part Indian and she is Dem.

I think the left has no political message now and is grasping for anything that might work.

She be unable to restrain her anti-American leftism

She's going to run on "Communism Progressivism is just 21st Century Americanism", and she is going to be the next (and probably last) President of the United States.

Boy if the left that Obama was a Marxist, they are gonna love Liz. At a time when the country is begging the dems to move towards the center, she will drag it leftward.

Warren is 0% Cherokee but I agree with the percentage of moonbat in Mass. She deliberately lied about her heritage to get a position at Harvard and Harvard was quick to claim her as a “diversity hire”.

The Democratic hard Left is different than it used to be. Today, the only candidate who could energize the Democratic base with excitement would be a radical Black pro-Palestinian lesbian environmentalist who believes that the greatest evils on earth are the United States, Israel, and carbon dioxide.

Warren is a fake Cherokee. The Democrats should nominate Sheila Jackson Lee, who is authentically black.

If the Democrats can win Texas and Ohio they are sure to win the election--so guarantee Texas with Sheila Jackson Lee and guarantee Ohio with Dennis Kucinich.

As hard as it is to believe, this bitch is left of both Obolo and Hitlerly.

I hope they do pick her, as it will be George McGovern Part Deaux.

Too far left of Loo Loo Land. Leftism doesn't work directly. You have to pretend your in the middle first and there is too much video of her leftism.

Hillary tried to copy her and the press is infatuated with Hillary, so Elizabeth has to run to the left of her. So she can't win.

This is what the GOP tried to do with Ted Cruz by making him a Deputy Chair at the NRSC.

Except Cruz sticks to his principles, and doesn’t play well with those who don’t.
