Trump insiders see reasons to worry about Warren
The Hill ^ | Sep 25 2019 | Jonathan Easley

Posted on 09/26/2019 1:43:16 PM PDT by rintintin

President Trump’s allies see reasons to worry about the rise of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), who is gaining steadily in Democratic primary polls and attracting huge crowds of supporters to her campaign rallies. The Hill interviewed more than a half-dozen current or former advisers to Trump, and about half viewed Warren as the most formidable nominee in a head-to-head match-up against Trump, while the other half described former Vice President Joe Biden as the tougher general election foe.

To many Trump World insiders, Warren increasingly looks like the candidate with the best shot at winning the nomination. The two most recent surveys of Iowa and New Hampshire show Warren edging Biden, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) fading into the pack. The Trump allies who view Warren as the strongest general election Democrat described her as a “movement” candidate with crossover appeal between the left and the center. They said Warren’s message fits the moment and view her potential candidacy as a wild card, believing that Trump would fare better in a rematch against an establishment candidate, such as Biden.

Disagree. They have a few candidates that don’t seem absolutely crazy like Tim Ryan. He would be a much better candidate. I don’t think he has much of a chance though so breath easy. Warren...no idea...she should lose, her ideas are completely immoral. I hope that’s not where the country is.

Big money donors don’t like her. Biden is toast and Bernie’s nuts. Hillary can’t get in if it’s about corruption, so that leaves Moochele and Oprah.

When they meet, Trump will play Warren like a cathouse piano and turn her into a ranting shrieking mess within seconds.

Wait...she already is.

Lol, of all the clever nicknames, Fauxchahontas, etc., I recently saw the one that should stick: Psychogewea. If Trump uses that one, she’s done.

Trump is going to basically torture her with Fake Indian imagery in his speeches, ads and tweets throughout the campaign. Gonna be brutal.

“Trump insiders see reasons to worry about Warren”

yeah, i don’t believe that for a second, if anything about it is true, its simply a false flag operation

here’s why.

Jo has been rapidly sinking in the RCP poll average and warren has ascended to number two:

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2020/president/us/2020_democratic_presidential_nomination-6730.html

The poll also shows that Bernie is rapidly becoming irrelevant and the rest of the pack are nothing more than also-rans at this point.

It’s been obvious that this fabricated Ukrainian nonsense was gonna nuke Joe since he and Hunter are at the center of
the whole thing (heck there’s even a video of Joe bragging about getting the chief Ukrainian prosecutor fired has a quid pro quo for receiving a billion dollar U.S. loan), so the only question is whether it was meant to take out Jo, whether taking him out was acceptable collateral damage, or whether the Dems were too stupid to realize that was gonna happen.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXA—dj2-CY (in the unlikely even you haven’t seen Jo bragging)

I’ve also been wondering why the Trump campaign wanted Jo gone as well, given that a week ago Brad Parscale released to the internet an ad consisting of Jo gaffes:

https://twitter.com/parscale/status/1173969845299363841)

The only thing i can figure out is that the Trump campaign WANTS to run against Warren because Jo is too brain-addled to coherently articulate the lunatic leftist positions, and therefore the only way they have to attack Jo is to point out that he’s too brain-addled to articulate anything, which is pretty thin campaign gruel.

OTOH, attacking Warren is easy because all you really have to do is attack her on her clearly articulated insane positions and there are YUGE numbers of those insane positions (and tons of captured video of her articulating those insane positions). Not to mention, Warren is a shrill and extremely unlikable person, a lot like Hillary, but possible even worse if that’s even possible.

Also, Warren is complete anathema to Wall Street and the rest of mega business, whereas they would probably figure Jo would continue the do-nothing polices of the Obama administration towards Wall Street and the rest of the latter-day robber barons.

And there’s also no way that Warren’s insane policies will appeal to whatever is left of the sane part of the Democrat voter base, whereas Jo could probably come across as your harmless old uncle.

And finally, Jo has tremendous support in the black community that still strongly associates Jo with the Obama administration, while it’s highly doubtful such strong loyalty automatically transfers over to Warren ....

Warren would be much, much easier to beat than Biden.

Agreed. Nobody outside of the east coast can stand that screeching noise except for IL, WA, OR and CA.
