Sen. Warren, in Worcester, comes out swinging against GOP

[TexasTowelie]

WORCESTER - U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., was in fighting form Thursday as she met with Massachusetts newspaper reporters and editors at the Telegram & Gazette.

The progressive champion sounded many of the populist themes that have won her an enthusiastic following on the liberal-left of the Democratic Party, leading some to regard her as a possible standard-bearer against Republican President Donald Trump in 2020.

"I want to be the America that believes in the future," Ms. Warren said. "But that's not where the Republicans want to go. Every one of their proposals is about helping people who've already made it, and making everyone else pay for it."

Ms. Warren was here for a roundtable with journalists from Massachusetts' mid-size "gateway" cities such as Springfield, Fall River and Worcester. She later took center stage at a town hall-style meeting at the Worcester Public Library that drew hundreds of supporters.

1. That's my home town!

Worcester MA. I miss Massachusetts and the northeast in general. The south is full of knuckle draggers and high school drop outs.

2. I try to post the news from around the country.

I'm glad to hit your home town. A belated welcome to DU!

3. I'm sitting in Wohstah right now.

It's a balmy 29 degrees and all is reasonably well.

4. Thanks Texas Towelie for keeping us up on MA info!

I don't come on here often, but it is much appreciated!

I am proud of our state - it is one of the bluest states in the nation and often one of the most over looked.

5. You're welcome.

I hope that it helps being able to look at the state folder to get an idea of what is happening in your neck of the woods. I'm hoping that I capture about 25%-30% of the major news stories in each state as I cycle around the country.

6. Well, you know we hate him here - at least most of us!

I will try to check in to the MA board more often. Lots of interesting things going on in this state and some good future candidates!
