Elizabeth Warren’s Image
I am very biased about certain things and this is one of them,
so I did a Google search of “Elizabeth Warren” and looked at the first 2 pages
of all the provided links to find what was most popular. I found that there are
both positive and negative opinions of Elizabeth, her beliefs and positions.
Between my personal knowledge and my searches, I found that Elizabeth is seen
as a democrat, women’s rights activist, bankruptcy and financials expert, middle
class activist, very outspoken but lacking charisma, and a women who has pushed
her way from the bottom, up the success pyramid. One sight even called her the
new “John Edwards,” for her ability to re-shape the policy debates.”
S.W.O.T. Analysis
Like any individual in the political
realm, there are many different strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and
threats affecting their possibly candidacy in the 2016 elections. Some of
Elizabeth’s strengths include her ability to be very outspoken, not afraid to
say what others are too afraid to say, experience of 20 plus years working for
the greater good of society, push for women’s equality, high knowledge of
finances and her countless and continued efforts to help and push the middle
class to success. Warren was also the first female to be elected to the Senate
from Massachusetts and many people would like to see the first female president
as well.
On the other hand, there are weaknesses that may affect Warren’s
candidacy in 2016 as well. There are many people who believe that Warren is too
old wont be able to properly connect with the citizens and that her lack of
charisma will hurt her candidacy. She has also never held or even ran for
office, which could put her facing a large disadvantage. Some even state that
being a federal bureaucrat and a Harvard professor doesn’t qualify you to run
the nation.
First and far most important, Warren should use this time before
elections to make proper use of her opportunities and become more of a
charismatic and relatable individual because I have seen a lot of media and
posts that bag on her for her lack of charisma. She should also continue to
work towards lessening the hold that Wall Street has on our economy and
continue with the advancements of women’s rights and the middle class.
A major threat that Elizabeth is facing is that, Brown has
already raised 10 million dollars for his campaign, while Warren has yet to
begin raising funds for a campaign. Some say that she is not as strong of a
candidate for the democratic party as Obama was which also leaves her out for
much criticism.
“Elizabeth
Warren Asks The Most Obvious Question Ever And Stumps A Bunch Of Bank
Regulators”
Elizabeth is a strong women’s rights
activist, so she is pro-abortion and supports the use to freely use
contraception. She also supports the EDNA act, ObamaCare, same-sex marriage,
gun control, equal pay equal work, harsher rules on credit agencies and better
use of government money. She has recently been very popular in the media
regarding the need to get more control on Wall Street’s power. I think Warren
will continue to highlight the issues relating to women’s rights, controlling
Wall Street and helping the middle class and she should continue highlighting
these in the 2016 campaigns. Warren has based a lot of her image on the
advancements of the middle class, which has been a large part of her popularity
today. She has made an idol of herself to the middle class citizens, for her
efforts of hard work and determination have made her the success she is today.
She also focuses a lot on civil rights and the rights of women. I think Warren
should continue her efforts for these issues but also try to be more involved
in other aspects such as; job creations or other economic growth issues.
