The absolute hell she could bring down on the GOP! Guaranteed an up or down vote on Garland (or whoever it ends up being) Guaranteed up or down vote on at least two more SCOTUS nominees in the next four years. Those actions alone will benefit the average American more than just about anything else.

Seems to be a bought and paid for corporate propaganda catapulter?

ps - congrats on yur screen name. MST3k is the greatest achievement of humanity since we learned to walk upright.

I'd vote for Hil/Liz for sure. Us men can't fuck it up any more and it's time for women to clean up the mess of Democracy us men have left in our wake.

15. ED RENDELL, A Man Who Sold His Soul Long Ago...
Fri Jun 10, 2016, 01:14 PM
Jun 2016

My, my his stupidity is astounding but something that suits him well. He sold out early on, Barney Frank at least waited a while! I wonder if Barney will make the same mistake. The oh so LIBERAL fighter in Congress who now enjoys the fruits of selling HIS soul too!

THIS Democratic Party decided to fight back by becoming a Party that now mimics Repubs!

TIME is going to catch up with these people and I find it hard right now to think Warren will follow them. I prefer that she fights in the Senate because I DO see a country that's become fed up with the likes of RENDELL & FRANK! Many new people have decided to throw their hat into the ring BECAUSE of Bernie and Warren will be needed to resurrect the Party and help the NEW PROGRESSIVES who have seen a path to winning again. With any luck The NEW Democrats will bring the Party back to it's roots!

Elizabeth Warren seems to be rising up putting herself front and center by doing what she feels necessary at this point in time. I really wonder if Hillary wants her as VP because she could be to Hillary what Cheney was to Bush! Her intelligence and fighting spirit has served Warren so well for so long. A worthy adversary.

He leaves thoughts unfinished, fails to provide examples, makes false starts, and one wonders if he's ever going to get to his point. If he even has one. Interrupts the clip he's playing to state the obvious. At times he's borderline incoherent. And then he just goes into a lame comedy routine mocking Rendell. I'm not sure how anybody could take his political "analysis" seriously, claiming to know all about back channel discussions, etc.

He brought NY banks to Philly and casinos to PA

It's never been the same

As co-chair of the DNC he told Gore to surrender to Bush

What type of leader is that?
