Elizabeth Warren is canceling ad buys

Your comment about dropping out and endorsing the Klobucharge seems spot on.

I'm in the Buttigieg camp, but I could get on board with K.

Same. And if the Dems prevail in November, Warren definitely belongs in the administration in some form or another, IMO.

Yes. She could add some firepower to a cabinet department. I'm not in her fan club, but I reserve disdain for far more appalling characters, Like T.

I can’t think of a cabinet position where she wouldn’t scare me. Honestly, I can’t imagine her not abusing any executive power she were to wield.

You may disagree with the means of regulating the banking/lending industry, but there definitely needed to be (and needs to be) oversight.

Me neither. She has a very activist view of government.

I think it’s worse than that, she has an activist view of the executive, and goes out of her way to isolate executive power from democratic oversight in virtually every plan she’s devised.

She doesn’t trust representative democracy, she thinks what people need is a wise master, a role she thinks herself well suited for.

She is poison, a cancer even, to democracy.

In many ways Trump is more self-aware than Warren.

Trump will try all sorts of extra-constitutional acts, like punishing Amazon via the postal service because he doesn’t like his coverage in WaPo. But he surely realizes he’s just using power to screw an enemy. He’ll even tweet about how good it feels.

Warren will arbitrarily (in response to a question at a rally) add Apple to a list of companies she wants to destroy, and think she’s fighting the good fight. She has an evangelists zeal.

For what it’s worth I’m ok with her in the senate.

It’s more the institutional structures. I’m ok with consumer financial protection in concept. Even municipal financial protection.
