Centrist Dems ready strike against Warren wing

http://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/234224-centrist-dems-ready-strike-against-warren-wing

But with the race for the White House set to begin, centrists are moving to seize back the agenda.

The New Democrat Coalition (NDC), a caucus of moderate Democrats in the House, plans to unveil an economic policy platform as soon as this week in an attempt to chart a different course.

Special thanks to kpete.

Buffet: Sen. Warren More Effective If She Was 'Less Angry'
I can certainly understand why someone as rich as you would be angry at HER.

Howard Dean doesn't like Elizabeth Warren's tone
Well, he ought to know -- look at how far populism got HIM.

have the passion that Warren has. If they frame that righteous passion of Warren's as "anger" and wanting to "soak the rich&quot which she's NEVER said), it might make boring "purple place" Hillary seem more 'pragmatic', at least maybe that is their hope.

Good luck with that...

Or, the TPP is about to blow up in the media, and you can bet Liz will be in the news in her fight against it, as it stands now. This might be an attempt to preempt that to both help fast track along and try to make Hill look better. Two birds, one stone.

I just question the timing here.
