Two random thoughts on Elizabeth Warren

[Ohiogal]

Dave Green, the president of the UAW chapter in Lordstown, Ohio, recently said in an interview, "We [unions] just want a seat at the table."

Liz Warren has proposed making this mandatory -- that a worker from the company have a seat on the board of directors. And she proposed it a long time ago. I understand they do this in Germany.

I loved her comment in an interview in Mississippi recently.....

"I am sick and tired of freeloading billionaires. I just want them to pay their fair share."

1. Elizabeth warren is smart

[Kurt V.]

2. I'm hoping she gains some traction

[MoonRiver]

3. I totally agree with her. It's a no-brainer really.

Hope all the other candidates take up this position.

4. Not bad. Not bad...helps another nation has tried it..

Course if there are a dozen directors, predominately wealthy..the union guy might be fighting
an uphill battle..if spending money for the other workers is discussed...

5. Elizabeth Warren and Dave Green are right.

" If you are not at the table, you are on the menu."

I heard this at a Union Meeting.

9. GOOD ONE!

“If you are not at the table, you are on the menu.”

That does boil it right down, doesn’t it!

6. I like her language. It's good class war rhetoric to offset the BS of corporate media.

7. I wonder about the disparity in coverage. Beto's every stop is discusses. . Warren . . .crickets.

8. Exactly... Beto is the hot young. MALE candidate..

and that has it's privileges.

13. She had a cnn town hall meeting last night?

Or was it monday. Anyway, she is getting "some" coverage, just not what beto and biden are getting.

And trump has his russian bot army dominating facebook and twitter.

So it's hard to get any oxygen unless you do something specifically. Beto is barnstorming the country, which gets cameras in his face asking questions we haven't heard him answer before. He doesn't have a day job, and has plenty of money, so it's easy for him to do.

A sitting senator, congress critter, or mayor/gev doesn't have the freedom to do that.

That will give additional opportunities to beto and biden.

Not necessarily because they are white males, but because the media loves an underdog and a perceived horse race.

10. Warren Has the Best Plans for Working Americans

Her expertise and focus on economic issues for Americans deserves more media attention.

11. A strong showing for Elizabeth. Great!

14. I like warren...

For a lot of reasons, but these practical, seemingly simple ideas could actually change the way boards make some decisions.

She rocked with the consumer protection bureau, and that was in her first term.
