Throw 100 random elected officials or policy wonks in Washington D.C. into a room. Odds are good Warren is the most competent and smartest of the group.
Warren started her academic career as a lecturer at Rutgers School of Law–Newark (1977–78). She moved to the University of Houston Law Center (1978–83), where she became Associate Dean for Academic Affairs in 1980, and obtained tenure in 1981. She taught at the University of Texas School of Law as visiting associate professor in 1981, and returned as a full professor two years later (staying 1983–87). In addition, she was a visiting professor at the University of Michigan (1985) and research associate at the Population Research Center of the University of Texas at Austin (1983–87).[33] Early in her career, Warren became a proponent of on-the-ground research based on studying how people actually respond to laws in the real world. Her work analyzing court records, and interviewing judges, lawyers, and debtors, established her as a rising star in the field of bankruptcy law.[34]
Warren joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School as a full professor in 1987 and obtained an endowed chair in 1990 (becoming William A Schnader Professor of Commercial Law). She taught for a year at Harvard Law School in 1992 as Robert Braucher Visiting Professor of Commercial Law. In 1995, Warren left Penn to become Leo Gottlieb Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.[33] As of 2011, she was the only tenured law professor at Harvard who was trained at an American public university.[34] At Harvard, Warren became one of the most highly cited law professors in the United States. Although she had published in many fields, her expertise was in bankruptcy. In the field of bankruptcy and commercial law, only Douglas Baird of Chicago, Alan Schwartz of Yale, and Bob Scott of Columbia have citation rates comparable to that of Warren.[35] Warren’s scholarship and public advocacy were the impetus behind the establishment of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.[36]
It’s just getting better and better as the day goes on! Thank you Elizabeth Warren!!!
Tell us something we don’t know.
I will continue to give you the benefit of the doubt but you’ve made several comments on these threads that are not adding to the conversation, at least not in a positive or meaningful way.
Are you happy that Sen. Warren will be giving her endorsement? If not, why?
Have the denunciations by the Berniacs started yet on social media?
Boom goes the dynamite.
brooklyndweller, they’ll turn on Bernie himself when he endorses HRC! That “movement” has turned into the monster and now has a life of its own.
Too bad the media will cover them precisely because they’re loud, inflammatory and crazy…
No, but they will. Their hero will all of a sudden turn into a Goldman Sachs funded villain. Just like Obama ( an actual claim by some moron after Obama endorsed Hillary this afternoon.)
This is absolutely no dig on warren at all, she is great, i think she should be the VP nominee without a doubt, but there are an awful lot of very smart wonky people in DC. Warren’s gift is her ability to communicate complex ideas precisely and with passion. That is a skill that not nearly as common as smarts.
It doesn’t hurt that the issues she knows best are also right in the wheelhouse of making the economy work for average citizens.
Crows have lips.
They already threw Warren under the bus when she wouldn’t endorse Bernie earlier in the game.
O I love this so much!!!
Clinton secured enough pledged delegates this week to clinch the Democratic nomination and earned big wins in Tuesday’s primaries in California and New Jersey.
Thank you, Allegra.
I guess that means Elizabeth Warren is now a card-carrying “Tool of the Oligarchs” and “Corrupt D.C. Politician” because she is endorsing the “Great Satan Hillary.”
Take the hint Bernie Bros. It’s over. Your guy lost. Deal with it.
Join the Democratic Party in defeating the greatest threat to American Democracy since the American Nazi Party in the 1930’s, or go back to your Mom’s basement and cry over pictures of Bernie in the dark because we have WORK TO DO to defeat “Trumpism”. The MSM won’t make it easy with the billion$$$ of free airtime they will give “The Trumpster” so we need to GOTV for Hillary. Your views will be heard. They will be included. We need your help to win. BUT.
You need to either be part of the solution and HELP ELECT HILLARY or STFU and get the hell out of our way.
I saw some tweetstorming a few minutes ago. Not an edifying spectacle.
And cue the Bros calling Warren a corporate sell-out whore in 3…2…1…
I’m not one of those who want Hillary to pick Warren as VP. We need our lioness in the Senate and it’s appropriate that she’s in Ted Kennedy’s old seat. But if she were to be the VP, America would have two mommies. 
#DYNAMIC DUO!
…On to victory in November:
This one reminds me of a recent troll who posted pretty much the same crap. Can’t remember the name, but he didn’t even last the day.
