1. We'll see who she endorses. n/t

[sabrina 1]

2. It's inconceivable considering what has happened since the

rescinding of that protection by Clinton and Gramm et al, that ANYONE could even hesitate about this let alone oppose it.

[daleanime]

11. +1

[SusanCalvin]

16. Exactly. nt

[TheProgressive]

3. I can't imagine any *real* Democrat not wanting to re-establish Glass-Steagall.....

[OnlyBernieBurnsBush]

4. Any comments from the Clintonistas?

Why do they back the candidate of the TPP and disastrous financial deregulation?

[antigop]

8. because they will benefit from the TPP and/or financial deregulation? nt

[HooptieWagon]

17. Or...

benefit from <promoting> TPP and financial deregulation on social media, forums, blogs, etc.

[erronis]

5. And it would be nice to have a clear response rather than a mouthing from an advisor.

Come on, Hillary - please start putting some meat into your positions.

7. Hillary Is Without Question Not On Our Side

She's quickly resembling a cartoon character villain.

[ismnotwasm]

18. Yawn.

She's on my side.

[billhicks76]

19. Yawn

She's not on mine or anyone who cares about civil rights, human rights, inequality, poverty or telling the truth.

[MisterP]

6. eh, they'll just say anyone for it is a GOP plant trying to destroy the party from within yada yada

or, given FDR's patrician inattention to race, a "brocialist"

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

12. Pretty mind-blowing.

[Renew Deal]

9. If Warren wants to prove she has some power, she should get Glass-Steagall passed now

instead of just talking about it for 2 years.

[artislife]

10. From the article

....he reinstatement of Glass-Steagall has become something liberal -- and some conservative -- leaders have championed since its repeal and the market crash of 2008.



Of course it reaches people from both sides of the aisle..people from both sides of the aisle have suffered greatly because of it. To want to re-instate this is to be on the side of America.

13. Hillary's not going to bite the hand that feeds her

Team Clinton will just continue to pretend it's much ado about nothing.

[jalan48]

14. I thought maybe Hillary would say she's waiting to see what Pelosi does.

[Sienna86]

15. Happy to see it. Will contact my senators.

Glad to see that Senator Warren is fighting for us.
