WaPo Reporter on Warren Proposals: ‘Most of This Stuff Won’t Happen’

‘— Someone like Elizabeth Warren who’s promising what she calls big structural change, there’s an appeal for that’

EXCERPT:

SCHERER: "I think it’s exciting right now for a lot of primary voters. And the policy here, what’s interesting about what Warren is doing, is not policy that really has a good chance of passing should she win the presidency. You know, barring a huge wave election that sweeps Democrats into power in both chambers with pretty significant majorities, most of this stuff won’t happen. But what these are, these policies are, are real symbols for the kind of campaign that Warren is running, which is a really ambitious one, it’s about fighting with populist overtones, wealthy interests in this country, and it’s allowed her to communicate her message in a way that other candidates in this very broad field have really struggled to over the last few months."
