The GOP effort to crush Elizabeth Warren ahead of 2020 has begun

[KingOrfeo]

Republicans look to make Warren's Senate re-election so nasty she'll be scared off a run for the White House

In anticipation of Warren’s new book “This Fight Is Our Fight: The Battle to Save America’s Middle Class,” the conservative group America Rising PAC is planning on targeting the senator with opposition research, public records requests, and rapid-response attacks, according to a report by Politico.

“We view [her] book launch as the soft launch of her presidential campaign,” America Rising executive director Colin Reed explained to Politico. “We’ll do the same to her as we did with Hillary Clinton in 2014.”

Reed’s vow to make Warren’s life difficult appears to be based, at least in part, to a particular revelation in her new book. At one point in the book she writes that, when she asked her husband Bruce Mann about running for president in 2016, he responded that “a race like this one looks pretty terrible. The Senate thing was bad enough, and running for president would be worse—a lot worse.”

Leave it to the democrats to try to find someone just as out of touch as Hillary and just possibly a bigger liar to hang their hat on.....

She is at least as in touch as Sanders, who is so in touch with reality it should call a cop on him, and disregarding the silly Indian-heritage thing as we all should, I've never heard of her being caught in a lie. She has a good PolitiFact scorecard, at any rate, nothing worse than "Half True."

You need professional help, King.

You need professional help, King.

That would be you, if, as is apparent and as is usual, you can't handle or accept the facts of record.

 

[KingOrfeo]

That would be Warren. Please do not post again until you have typed 100 times without once using the C&P function: "Not everyone to the left of the Clintons is a Communist, and anyone who thinks that is an idiot."

Well, she's certainly telegenic.

Why Elizabeth Warren didn't run for president

If Sen. Warren didn't have the strength/courage/stamina to run in 2016 at age 67, where does she find the strength/courage/stamina to run in 2020 at age 71?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren didn’t run for president last year because she says her husband warned her that it would be a more grueling bid than her 2012 Senate campaign, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The Massachusetts Democrat wrote about this in her new book that will be released next week, the report said.

Warren, 67, said her husband told her, “a race like this one looks pretty terrible. The Senate thing was bad enough, and running for president would be worse—a lot worse.”

They might as well be communist.....

If you're not an elite the real world effects are no different.

What is the real difference between the Democrat Party and CPUSA? I will post whenever and how often I damn well please. The fact you cannot see the stark totalitarianism of the Democrat Party and Communist sympathizers like Sanders and Warren isn't my problem.

The guy thinks being told what to do, and then having 70+% of it taken from you at the end of the day = freedom.

Seriously.

 

[KingOrfeo]

From a 74-year-old opponent who has not aged nearly as well as she.

 

[KingOrfeo]

What is the real difference between the Democrat Party and CPUSA?

What is the similarity? The Democratic Party in its present form is not even social-democratic or progressive, let alone revolutionary Marxist. One difference is that Wall Street and big biz probably do not own the CPUSA. Another is that nothing in the Democratic platform calls for nationalization/socialization of all important means of production, and, in fact, the Dems too often let cultural/social issues overshadow economic issues entirely.

Now, if the Justice Democrats and their allies take over the party, it will then be social-democratic/progressive. But still not Communist or even democratic socialist. Those are all very different things and the differences are important -- should be important even to you -- but you're always looking at the left end of the spectrum through the wrong end of a telescope, you can't make out any important details.

 

[VaticanAssassin]

Well who should the Democrats run against Trump in 2020? Hmmm?

Joe Manchin .... Booker.... Who knows. It's early. But in general they should probably stay away from liars and socialist.

And Warren is neither. (Neither is Sanders, really, he calls himself a socialist but in his policies he's a social democrat/progressive -- meaning, something well to the right of socialist and well to the left of liberal -- and, again, the differences are important.)

 

[phrodeau]

The way Trump is doing, Punxsutawney Phil could beat him in 2020.

 

[OldJourno]

Well, she's certainly telegenic.

Chelsea Clinton looks like a perch.

 

[BotanyBoy]

Yea, they are democratic socialist......aka democratic communist.

Those are all very different things

Not really....at the end of the day it's the government controlling everything you do and fucking you for everything you got.

and the differences are important

Not to the 99%..........

Elizabeth Warren’s female staffers made 71% of male staffers’ salaries in 2016

The gender pay gap in Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D., Mass.) office is nearly 10 percent wider than the national average, meaning women in the Massachusetts Democrat's office will have to wait longer than most women across the country to recognize Equal Pay Day.

Equal Pay Day, created two decades ago by the National Committee on Pay Equity, is scheduled by using the Census Bureau annual unadjusted gender pay gap to determine how far into the next year women would have to work to match annual earnings of men. Last year's figures, showing that women earned 79.6 percent of what men earned, put Equal Pay Day on Tuesday April 4, more than three months into the calendar year.

However, women working for Warren were paid just 71 cents for every dollar paid to men during the 2016 fiscal year, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

New poll shows Elizabeth Warren’s future may be in jeopardy

When evaluating a candidate’s chances of winning re-election, measuring their approval ratings is usually a good starting point.

Elizabeth Warren (D-Massachusetts) is one of the most politicized and prominent figures for Democrats, particularly because of how outspoken she is against President Trump.

In a new Morning Consult poll released Tuesday, Warren’s approval ratings have steadily declined over the past year, whereas Republican Gov. Charlie Baker’s approvals have him ranked as one of the nation’s most popular governors.

Between January and March of 2017, nearly 2,500 eligible voters participated in an online poll discussing the candidates up for re-election in Massachusetts in 2018.

The poll showed that Gov. Baker had a 75 percent approval rating for his performance, compared to a 17 percent disapproval rating.

Baker’s high approvals could foretell a political shift in the blue state of Massachusetts given that Warren’s numbers have steadily dropped.

If Baker ran anywhere but Massachusetts you would call him a socialist.

- Pro-choice
- Advocates for alternative incarceration and treatment for non-violent offenders.
- Supports public schools (although did try and help the Charter school movement which failed on the last ballot)
- Supports renewable energy and reducing carbon
- Believes in science
- Supports open meeting law: make legislative debate public
- Wants to teach English to immigrants
- Supports raise both minimum wage & Earned Income Tax Credit.

And the chances of Warren losing in MA are slim and none.
