Warren? Come on. She is a TEXTBOOK example of someone who was a real person who arguably had morals who sold her soul to the party for a fancy title. Obama should have made her head of the CFPB since that was her pet project and career specialty. But no, everything "worked out better" for the machine if she just became an unremarkable senator.

dont look at soundbites, look at legislation proposed. that's how Senators actually do their work

Except for the part where they often propose legislation they know won't pass and then don't propose it later when it will pass.

Sometimes they miscalculate. Mitch McConnell once had to filibuster his own bill because he didn't mean for it to pass.
