Elizabeth Warren is running the year's most substantive campaign — what does that say about everyone else? by mattbai
The way a lot of my colleagues in the media have been talking about her, Elizabeth Warren is running for president in a way that’s different from anyone else who has ever run for president, or at least since the printing press came along.
You think I’m exaggerating? Well, I am, but go do a Google search for “Elizabeth Warren has a plan,” and see how many awestruck articles pop up . Story continuesHell, even John Edwards, running in 2004, published an entire hardback collection of dense essays on eradicating poverty . And believe me, Edwards was nobody’s idea of a once-in-a-generation intellect.
Warren has, in fact, offered some transformational ideas for her hypothetical presidency, like smashing apart tech companies, levying a surtax on the super-wealthy and creating a government-financed network of childcare centers. And implementing even half of Warren’s agenda would almost certainly exacerbate a looming, long-term budget crisis that can’t possibly be fixed by squeezing millionaires alone.
All the dinosaur Democrats I mentioned before — Hart, Clinton, Bradley — reflected on a governing plan for years before a campaign, the same way Warren has. But none of them had the advantage of running against candidates who seemed to think slogans and personalities were all that mattered.
