Elizabeth Warren argues that Bernie is defining what it means to be a Democrat

[andym]

And that Hillary and Bernie generally agree on the principles, but only differ on how far to go. According to Warren Bernie and Hillary's answers deeply differ from those of Republicans

OK. What impact do you think that Bernie Sanders has had on the Democratic Party?

EW: Oh, he's put forward the arguments about what it means to be a Democrat.
I mean, just watch what the Democratic debates have been about and how they have drawn the contrast with the Republicans. So what have the Democrats debated?

"Should the minimum wage be $12 an hour or $15 an hour?" But all Democrats are saying that we need to raise the minimum wage and we need to make it a living wage.

"Should we have free college or debt-free college?" But all Democrats are saying we need to reduce the cost of education for our young people.

"What's the best way to rein in the excesses of Wall Street? Is it dealing with the non-bank financial institutions or breaking up the big banks?" But all Democrats agree we need better control over Wall Street.

These are the kinds of debates we have had because we've had two candidates in there fighting hard, and it has truly shown the gulf with the other side.

1. Sanders/Warren 2016!

2. Sorry, Elizabeth, but the debates, and the words, and the past actions of the candidates

show a vast gulf between Bernie and Hillary.

But, yeah, Bernie has defined what is means to be a "Democrat". Hillary is more GOP.

Even a spoonful of sugar from Warren won't make me swallow any Hillary medicine down.

5. I'm with you, smile.

10. Hillary wants to use right wing donors

to buy her way into the White House and we are suppose to hold our noses and vote for her?
This is why many Democrats that dislike Hillary ...ok can't stand Hillary Clinton,will vote for Trump and the prospect of a Trump White House is scary as hell.This is why we need Bernie Sanders as our Democratic nomiminee to stop this maniac because Hillary can't and she will lose if she is the nominee

3. That title is a total mischaracterization of what she said.

[still_one]

7. Of course it is. With the bias and hate against Hillary motivating some here to distort and

misrepresent anything, in the view that it elevates their candidate.

However, people are wising up to the bull, as evidenced by this absurd thread:

11. No it's not.

Title of OP: Elizabeth Warren argues that Bernie is defining what it means to be a Democrat

First thing Warren says: "Oh, he's put forward the arguments about what it means to be a Democrat."

[Sparkly]

13. It is.

I agree with you.

[tk2kewl]

4. the difference is clear:

Are we liberals or neoliberals

[Ed Suspicious]

9. This. And I am saddened that Warren is failing to speak truth to the

Democratic party power.

6. When Hillary Clinton says

she's going to bring Bill out of retirement and put him in charge of trade because he has "an idea a minute", I don't think the discussion has gone where Elizabeth Warren says it has gone.

[FlatBaroque]

8. The very thought of Bill Clinton having

" an idea a minute" about how to enrich and gratify himself is gut wrenching.

[Sparkly]

12. Exactly.
