On Warren winning

The senator talks more about bringing together Democrats, Republicans and
independents behind her proposals, often leaning on anecdotes about her
conservative brothers to do so. Ms. Warren has the power and conviction
and credibility to make the case — especially given her past as a
Republican — but she needs to draw on practicality and patience as much as
her down-and-dirty critique of the system.

Ms. Warren’s path to the nomination is challenging, but not hard to
envision. The four front-runners are bunched together both in national
polls and surveys in states holding the first votes, so small shifts in
voter sentiment can have an outsize influence this early in the campaign.
There are plenty of progressives who are hungry for major change but may
harbor lingering concerns about a messenger as divisive as Mr. Sanders. At
the same time, some moderate Democratic primary voters see Ms. Warren as
someone who speaks to their concerns about inequality and corruption. Her
earlier leaps in the polls suggest she can attract more of both.

She resonates with voters...and is taken seriously

Senator Warren is a gifted storyteller. She speaks elegantly of how the
economic system is rigged against all but the wealthiest Americans, and of
“our chance to rewrite the rules of power in our country,” as she put it
in a [ [link removed] ]speech last month. In her hands, that story has the passion of a
[ [link removed] ]convert, a longtime Republican from Oklahoma and a middle-class family,
whose work studying economic realities left her increasingly worried about
the future of the country. The word “rigged” feels less bombastic than
rooted in an informed assessment of what the nation needs to do to
reassert its historic ideals like fairness, generosity and equality.

She is also committed to reforming the fundamental structures of
government and the economy — her first [ [link removed] ]commitment is to anti-corruption
legislation, which is not only urgently needed but also has the potential
to find bipartisan support. She speaks [ [link removed] ]fluently about foreign policy,
including how to improve NATO relations, something that will be badly
needed after Mr. Trump leaves office.

Her campaign’s plans, in general, demonstrate a serious approach to
policymaking that some of the other candidates lack. Ms. Warren accurately
[ [link removed] ]describes a lack of housing construction as the primary driver of the
nation’s housing crisis, and she has proposed both increases in government
funding for housing construction, and changes in regulatory policy to
encourage local governments to allow more construction.

Warren goes big and bold

She has plans to sharply increase federal investment in clean energy
research and to wean the American economy from fossil fuels. She has
described how she would reduce the economic and political power of large
corporations and give workers more ability to bargain collectively. And
she has proposed a sweeping expansion of government support for Americans
at every stage of life, from [ [link removed] ]universal child care to [ [link removed] ]free public
college to [ [link removed] ]expanded Social Security.

On using executive power -- a unique strength compared to Bernie and
others

At the same time, a conservative federal judiciary will be almost as
significant a roadblock for progressive change...Carrying out a
progressive agenda through new laws will also be very hard for any
Democratic president. In that light, voters could consider what a
Democratic president might accomplish without new legislation and, in
particular, they could focus on the presidency’s wide-ranging powers to
shape American society through the creation and enforcement of
regulations.

As an adviser to President Barack Obama, Ms. Warren was [ [link removed] ]the person
most responsible for the creation of a new regulatory agency, the Consumer
Financial Protection Bureau. In her interview with the editorial board,
she demonstrated her sophisticated understanding of the different levers
of power in an administration, particularly in the use of regulation in
areas such as trade, [ [link removed] ]antitrust and environmental policy.

When she first arrived in Washington, amid the Great Recession, Senator
Warren distinguished herself as a citizen-politician. She showed an
admirable desire to shake off the entrapments of many Washington interests
in favor of pragmatic problem-solving on behalf of regular people.

Bottom line points...

Elizabeth Warren has emerged as a standard-bearer for the Democratic left.

Ms. Klobuchar and Ms. Warren right now are the Democrats best equipped to
lead that debate. May the best woman win.
