In reply to the discussion: Has Elizabeth Warren changed or has she always been this person? [View all]stuffmatters
(2,574 posts)8. Elizabeth Warren has been breaking down our econoimic problems & solutions since at minimum 2009.
As Chair of TARP Oversight where she was pretty much a lone voice in the wilderness in that Wall Street dominated milieu. That's about when I first remember seeing her on Keith and Maher. Her great skill of explaining complex economics in not just simple but moral language made her an immediate favorite guest on Maher especially.
I recently saw a (utube?) excerpt of Professor Elizabeth Warren delivering expert (and prophetic) testimony against passage of the Bankruptcy Bill in Senate Hearings (2005?) An even earlier case of Warren being Warren despite the thinly veiled condescension/misogyny from the male senators sponsoring passage of that cruel,dreadful bill. Well worth viewing.
If I were to vote in a presidential

OFFS. Impeachment is a PROCESS. It starts with impeachment investigation hearings.

OFFS. Hillary and Warren ARE ADVISING THE SAME THING: formal impeachment investigation hearings.

Seems to be an offshoot of being VERY well versed on the topics being investigated.

That was the one where Biden called her testimony a "mildly demagogic argument," right?

She was drowned out with idiotic "Moral Hazard" tirades.Yet she persisted(!)

I think she's pretty unflappable. Biden, I noticed, got a little flustered in that exchange.

Same person, but I think she's worked hard to improve her perception to be a strong campaigner

As long as I recall being aware of her, she's been well-rounded and fully prepared.
