Sen. Elizabeth Warren addressed a sun-drenched throng of about 15,000 people Sunday at the Seattle Center, arguing that it's not enough to dump President Donald Trump next year; America must rid itself of corrupt corporate rule and become an even playing field.
"We're not going to win this thing by saying, 'Not Trump!'" Warren said, in an unmistakable jab at ex-Vice President and fellow presidential candidate Joe Biden.
The country is in "serious trouble" and was before the 45th President took office, Warren argued, speaking of "not what's been broken the last two-and-a-half years but what's been broken for decades."
Voters in the Evergreen State were at last able to witness, question and have selfies taken with a front-rank Democratic presidential candidate, not someone headed for a $1,000 or $2,800 a head fundraiser at a Medina mansion.
"She cared enough to come," was a refrain often heard Sunday afternoon. "I am frustrated (other candidates) come here and ask for money, but don't meet with the public," Bill Sherman, an attorney, said.

(3 posts)Saw the pictures of the venue which is a small sized outside amphitheater. Very familiar with that area, very lovely, I have many great memories there
However, even with standing room only and some overflow allowed that area could hold 5,00 maximum. And that is a generous estimate.
If Senator Warren's campaign wanted to have 15,0000 in attendance they would have to rent out the nearby Seattle Center auditoriums.

(15,370 posts)we "must fix what's been broken for decades," she is absolutely right.
There can be no return merely to pre-Trump status quo.
But we also need good strong Democratic majorities in the House and the Senate as well! AND we need a majority of Democratic Governors and state legislatures.
We need voters to CARE about what is happening at every level.
