    Warren's case for growing social welfare is very storytelling-focused: "Your neighbor who has a home health aid who comes by, and is able to stay in her home – that’s Medicaid. Your friend whose child has issues with mental illness – that’s Medicaid."

        First mention of Trump, 42 minutes into event: A woman who came to Iowa as a refugee asks how Warren would reverse Trump's resettlement/asylum policies.

        Narrative theory isn't wrong, but it's already one level of abstraction past the core truth about human beings, which is that narratives are -- necessarily -- how we order our own minds. We have no better option, and that's true no matter how educated or rational we are....

        Not just that but the qualities of character of teachers. And America needs a good lesson or two, probably more...

        Yes! My reply sounded flip but I totally agree! Especially now, a woman who wants to see everyone succeed (the essence of teaching) and has worked for that result before would be great for the country.

        Same works for climate science education -- your neighbor's farm drying up, crops dying is much more relatable than polar bears.

        Well, the bears were the canary. "Canary dies suddenly, that's gas. (no action) The miner standing next to you becomes faint and lethargic, falling to his knees, that's gas. (still no action)"

        It doesn’t get mentioned often enough that she has the same ability as Obama did to tell us our own story and make us see that government is one of the places we go to care for each other.
