In reply to the discussion: Horsey: President Sanders? Bernie would have beaten Trump [View all]HopeAgain
(4,407 posts)I'm thinking Warren can please the establishment left without coming across as an entitled establishment elite like Hillary, and will not come across like a throw-back socialist like Bernie.
Even better, she can deal with the new reality of rough and tumble politics. The only great thing I have heard on the left since the Election was when Warren said "President-elect Trump promised to rebuild our economy for working people, and I offer to put aside our differences and work with him on that task." THAT's what Americans, as a whole, want to hear.
Neither Bernie or Hillary were the right candidates, and the fact we now have the most unfit President-Elect in history stands as proof.
If we are to move on, we do need to recreate the entire image of the Democratic Party. Like it or not, Hillary came across to many Americans on both sides of the political spectrum as the Candidate for the Party of the Elite rather than the Party of the People.
