    This is someone who is evading the question and does not want to answer. He is not on the side of the American worker, nor is he interested in protecting them. He is on the side of big business and protecting profits at the expense of the American worker. We can all see this, it's not that difficult.
    We are now in an era where the GOP and the Administration have declared war on the working and middle class.

      @@kimmczeal635 Since I wrote this above 3 years ago it can be applied to just about everyone in the Trump Administration. None of them will answer direct questions directly. Just yesterday on Meet the Press someone was asked a question and started talking about something entirely different. When a reporter asks Trump to account for one of his insane actions he usually just tells them, "You are a nasty person". I wish reporters would start telling them, "That was not an acceptable answer, would you like another chance to answer again?" Or simply issue grades - "Sorry Mr. Trump your answer receives an F today." :-)

      As a Law Professor with over 30 years experience specializing in Bankruptcy Law and Commercial Law, and having written several books that are required reading by Law Students everywhere, she apparently knows nothing -- so you say.
      .
      As Senator, Elizabeth Warren was one of the key people responsible for the creation of the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which has a current budget of 533 million dollars. That agency has forced fraudulent banking institutions to give back more than 12 billion dollars to 29 million consumers in refunds and canceled debts.
      .
      Also as Senator, she has questioned bank executives and called them out for their predatory, deceitful, fraudulent, and incompetent actions against the American people and, as they continually fail to answer the questions, she eventually has to give them the answers and shows them what lying pieces of shit they really are.
      .
      Elizabeth Warren has more knowledge in one finger than President Trump and all of his incompetent presidential appointees and advisors have in their entire collective brains.
      .
      The stupid shit-head in this video, Alexander Acosta, did not manage even ONCE to answer one single question asked by Senator Warren -- all of which were designed to elicit simple YES or NO answers. Senator Warren proved, very obviously, that Alexander Acosta is a worthless, spineless, brainless, incompetent fool.
      .
      Senator Elizabeth Warren is no liar. Unfortunately, everyone connected with the Trump administration most definitely are liars.

    I'm a firm Trump supporter. I am glad to see Sen. Warren ask legitimate questions instead of something to do with Russia, Russia, Russia. I will also agree with her on this point, I also do not believe this is the right man for the job. I hate it when Dems won't answer solid questions in congress but I equally hate it when Republicans do the same. I am big enough to support only those appointee's that have the right tools for the job. You cannot agree with all appointee's just because they belong to your political party. This goes for both Dems and Repubs. I believe that political appointee's must be scrutinized for both ability and candor. Ass kissing should never be condoned in either party.
