Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has moved to the top tier of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates, based in part on her detailed and highly specific plans for addressing the nation’s pressing policy issues. …
In addition to her plans for a much-elevated use of government as the means for addressing social problems, Warren also promises major disruption in terms of how government operates. She argues that government is currently in the control of the “wealthy and well-connected” and that we must “put economic and political power back in the hands of the people.” …
Warren is best positioned in relationship to public opinion when it comes to her call for disrupting the influences that control government. A substantial body of public opinion research shows that Americans believe most elected officials are corrupt; are under the influence of the rich, big corporations and special interests; and are controlled by partisan and ideological rigidity.
