The Honesty of Elizabeth Warren

If someone says Elizabeth Warren, what comes to mind?  For some of you, it will be Pocahontas.  That's Donald Trump's name for Warren.  He gave it to her because years ago she falsely claimed to be part Native American in order to get hired at Harvard Law School.  Some of you will think of Warren as a tireless fighter against big banks and Wall Street.  Of course, for people in that group, you might also want to consider that Warren just endorsed a candidate that has taken more cash from those same big banks and Wall Street than anyone else in history.  It does make one wonder just how serious Warren is in her stated convictions.  A few people will no doubt think of Warren as a potential vice presidential selection by Hillary Clinton.  That would mean that instead of just endorsing the candidate of the big banks and Wall Street, Liz would actually become part of that ticket. 

For me, Warren is a symbol of dishonesty.  She doesn't rise to Clintonian levels; few people could manage that.  Warren, however, is just another Democrat senator who will say whatever she needs to say to satisfy her supporters and who then will do nothing that is not directly in her own self interest.  In many ways, I find it extraordinary that the media and many others are fascinated with Warren.  She barely won her election to the senate.  Once in Washington, she has accomplished essentially nothing.  All she does is talk and talk and talk.  Oh well, I guess that's not too far from the average senator these days.
