I’d argue that Elizabeth Warren is one of the most accomplished politicians in the 2020 discussion. Her work includes setting up the CPFB- a whole agency dedicated to consumer protection. And she hasn’t even been a politician for that long!
As a Harvard Professor, she’s been writing about income inequality for decades. Arguably it is her work that inspired Occupy Wall Street and similar movements.
She is just awesome.
Running for President is a mix between talent and political skill. Barack Obama has both- the ability to give a riveting speech but also to be an excellent manager and leader.
I think Warren (like Clinton) would certainly make an excellent President. But does she have the campaigning skill to win the office? Certainly she has made some missteps. Sometimes she says things and I am surprised that she says it. She does give a good speech. But the whole Indian thing, it is stupid but obviously the Republicans will make an issue of it.
So I have mixed feelings. She’s the best, but I’m not sure if she’s a winner.
