    She is the candidate I am most interested in.
    She seems to be the one that has the best plan.
    or
    At the very least A PLAN

    Elizabeth Warren compared to Rachel Dolezal in 'The Breakfast Club' interview

    Fast forward to 20:00 if you want to see Chalamagne look her straight in the eyes and call her the original Rachel Dolezal.

    Warren has to handle these questions if she is to be president. This part of the interview is cringe inducing. It is just not credible that a Harward Law professor was so unaware of politics and what Reagan and the Bushes did to hurt the average person. She looks like a VP candidate at best. Her best chance is still as a compromise candidate by the elite to stop Bernie.

    a big Betsy fan gushes over her plan for economic patriotism. Excerpt:

    I have been a fan of Elizabeth Warren for a long time. Her combination of deep knowledge of how American capitalism works, her capacity to narrate the lived experience of American working families and tie it to radical reforms, and her sheer integrity are unsurpassed.

    Her rollout of one brilliant policy proposal after another and her ability to connect those to a political understanding of the American situation has been just stunning. But Warren’s latest plan is in a class by itself, even for Warren. She calls it an Agenda for Economic Patriotism.

    Warren’s proposal does nothing less than turn inside out the globalist assumptions pursued by the past several administrations, Democrat and Republican alike. Where they have pursued more globalization of commerce as an end in itself (and as a profit center for U.S.-based multinational corporations and banks), Warren’s goal is to bring production and good jobs home.

    Even better, she knits it all together with a coherent plan, beginning with a new Department of Economic Development “with the sole responsibility to create and defend quality, sustainable American jobs.”

    The new Department will replace the Commerce Department, subsume other agencies like the Small Business Administration and the Patent and Trademark Office, and include research and development programs, worker training programs, and export and trade authorities like the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative. The new Department will have a single goal: creating and defending good American jobs. ​

    It is refreshing to see someone come out and talk policies and be able to answer questions with specific ideas of how her policies would be implemented, paid for, who would be affected and how.

    Correct. But Hillary had a list of other baggage against her and her positions weren't as consistent as Warren's. Warren's actions help give credence to her positions even more than Hillary who did also have a track record of action.

    Biden leads Warren in Massachusetts in a new Suffolk University poll:

    Former Vice President Joe Biden is leading the 2020 primary field among likely Democratic voters in Massachusetts, a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll has found.

    Biden had 22 percent support in the survey, released on Tuesday, followed by Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren at 10 percent, Mayor Pete Buttigieg of South Bend, Ind., at 8 percent, and Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders at 6 percent. Just over 40 percent of voters said they were still undecided.

    While Warren enjoys a high favorability rating among likely Democratic primary voters (71 percent), her lagging homestate support may reflect the thinking of voters who are looking ahead to the general election, according to Suffolk University Political Research Center director David Paleologos, who oversaw the poll.​

    It's true. The Women's team attracts more fans to games, viewers on TV and are more popular than the trash fire the Men's team has been for over 5 years.

    I say let's do a 7 game series between the men's and women's teams and settle this.

    I have read that the women's team makes a higher % of the generated revenue than the men.

    Ya, I read 13% vs 9%.

    I have to disagree with Warren here. Women are making more money RIGHT NOW because they are in the biggest stage of their respective tournaments. But that biggest stage, the world cup, only happens once every four years.

    The men's team attracts more revenue outside of the world cup season. They attract more ad revenue and ticket sales from frendlies and lower level tournaments and when they do make the World Cup, they generate more ad revenue also.

    Also it's a disservice to the men's team when feminists attack the men's team for not being nearly as successful in their respective competition when the women's national team has the advantage of having fewer developed nations where women can excel in athletics. The Men's national team has to face much more difficult competition from the most random small nations because the mens national teams for respective nations are much more built up and developed.

    There are only a handful of well developed women's national soccer programs across the globe.

    That doesn't incorporate the revenue each team draws when they are in the world cup.

    The men's world cup tournament is a much larger ad revenue generator around the globe.

    Please don't make excuses for the team that lost to Trinidad and Tobago when they needed to win to get to a WC.

    If any team did a disservice to themselves it's the the USMNT.
