Upon simply viewing the provided videos of Ms. Elizabeth Warrens response to questions placed as traps. This was very evident that she {Warren} is and will be a very dangerious apponent to any who has any idea of apposing her upon the stage of politics. For she certainly has a good aim for shooting from the hip.

Pieter and Karl,
ELizabeth sounds authentic and she is in a good shape, maybe finally we will have a woman president in the US. We have already a woman prime-minister in Germany, we also had several in Poland and other countries, including Pakistan and India

Jaga, I wonder if Elizabeth Warren is not to liberal and progressive for the mainstream American who is conservative in my opinion. Wether they are Democratic, Republican or Independent most Americans are conservative people. I don't use this term 'conservative' in a negative sense, because you have excellent conservative Americans, Canadians, Poles, Germans, Austrians, Dutch people, Danes, Italians, Australians, British people, and New Zealanders in the world. In general it is a fact that most Americans are more conservative, more traditional and more Christian than Europeans. Despite secularisation in the USA, the USA is still more christian than continental Europe. You have to take that into account. Having said this and examined the American voting pattern in the past, shows a habbit for voting for moderate, centrist candidates or conservative candidates (Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush and the present president Donald Trump). Elizabeth Ann Warren (née Herring; born June 22, 1949) is a progressive who has focused her attention on consumer protection, economic opportunity, and the social safety net while in the Senate. But she hasn't been always that way. However friends and colleagues of Warren's from her high school days to the early part of her academic career in the 1980s have characterized her as a "die-hard conservative" with a belief in laissez-faire economics and "surprisingly anti-consumer views". Warren was registered as a Republican from 1991 to 1996. She voted Republican for many years. "I was a Republican because I thought that those were the people who best supported markets", she has said. But she has also said that in the six presidential elections before 1996 she voted for the Republican nominee only once, in 1976, for Gerald Ford. Warren has said that she began to vote Democratic in 1995 because she no longer believed that the Republicans were the party who best supported markets, but she has said she has voted for both parties because she believed that neither should dominate. According to Warren, she left the Republican Party because it is no longer "principled in its conservative approach to economics and to markets" and is instead tilting the playing field in favor of large financial institutions and against middle-class American families. During the 2014 election cycle, Warren was a top Democratic fundraiser. After the election, Warren was appointed to become the first-ever Strategic Adviser of the Democratic Policy and Communications Committee, a position created for her. The appointment added to speculation that Warren would run for president in 2016. Warren called Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, dishonest, uncaring, and "a loser". Warren testified before congressional committees about financial matters affecting Americans, a topic that she wrote about in a number of books, including The Fragile Middle Class: Americans in Debt (2000) and The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke (2003). It was as the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the body authorized under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act to rescue foundering American financial institutions in 2008, that Warren became a national figure. She then championed the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which was established under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. During the time of Barack Obama's presidency (2009–17) Warren had become a populist bellwether and a liberal icon, celebrated by talk-show hosts Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, on whose programs she appeared. Warren captured some three-fifths of the vote in the November 2018 polling to win reelection to the Senate over Republican state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who had been a cochair of Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign in Massachusetts, and independent Shiva Ayyadurai. Warren then became the first major figure to enter the field for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020 when she announced her candidacy at the end of December 2018.
