In fairness, from what I recall of these stories, all that's been shown is that she listed it on her application.
I don't think it's ever been shown that she got a scholarship for it, nor promotions based on being a minority.
If there's proof of that, then that should be shown.
Vts, it's like I said in the Trump thread.. a boat needs a captain. Nobody is 100% perfect.
Warren's got leadership ability. One can see it in that interview I linked. She didn't look just vice presidential, but *presidential*. She has a "decider" style, in command, and she's resolute.
The reason *I* criticize Warren is because she's hard to figure out some times.. like, is she just a token progressive but doesn't ever have real power.. I think that's the situation, really.
And that ties into another criticism about her that I've heard, that she doesn't actually get anything done in the senate. (which maybe is not her fault though, if establishment D's won't give her power, though I'd still say she needs to buck her party and truly lead)
But regardless of all that, just me personally, I liked that interview on Maddow show. That's just my gut reaction, when she DOES step up to lead.. she's great..
She seems like she really cares about working class and middle class people, so what more can someone ask than that.
