It’s next to impossible to argue that Warren’s political standing is better today than it was before she released the video

These writers are fricken morons.... and I am LOVIN IT

The usual nonsense in an article from another anti-Trumper, but there is some good stuff in there:

-—”For the most part, Democrats thinking about the White House are pondering ways to articulate a compelling worldview that doesn’t include responding to every one of Trump’s broadsides. Warren seems to take the opposite view. She has rained down a barrage of personal insults on Trump dating back to 2016, calling him “a loser,” a “selfish little sleazeball,” “a two-bit con man,” a “pathetic cheapskate,” and a “small, insecure money-grubber.” She enjoys replying directly to Trump’s tweets attacking her....

Taking this approach too far presents a dangerous risk for her and other Democrats....Authenticity is the coin of the realm in political campaigns, and the more Warren strays from the economic arguments that brought her to the apex of politics in the first place, the less compelling her argument for the presidency becomes.”——

This IS a problem for Warren. She’s normally as dull as white-bread dishwater, as personally compelling as a sack of wet mice. So when she verbally punches Trump, it sounds ridiculous and fake. Trump can get away with it, because he has a bombastic New Yorker persona, like a George Steinbrenner-type. You EXPECT him to rhetorically fight, and fight hard.

Warren? When she gets mad, she sounds like your irritated grandmother when somebody stepped in and stole her favorite slot-machine at the casino.

Read an article on the downfall of Warren. She made a deal with Hillary and didn’t run against her in 2016. (Her excuse was it would have been a dirty campaign. But the dirt would have been from Hillary. Instead, she made deals for positions inside the new Hillary presidency.) In the meantime, all of her left-most positions have been coopted and far exceeded by her leftist rivals. While she was, at one time, as left as a Senator could go, she is now associated with the Clintonist “middle ground.” The party has gone far lefter than she can believable go. Recently, she said she loved markets. You can’t say that and go further left. Her recent gene test is simply the coup de grâce on her political career.

Looking for the .jpg of a mosquito on Warren’s hand and the text, ...Just like that, Sen Warren’s Native American heritage was taken away.

Boy do they miss the point here. The problem is that their world view holds together about as well as the canvass sails on the Flying Dutchman. A couple of broadsides and it all falls apart. It isn't tactics, getting down in the mud. It is putting themselves in the position that Trump's broadsides, that his mud-wrestling works.

Look at open boarders. There is no way that backing a policy of open admission of caravans of criminals and wage scabs can work. Evah! All it took is for Trump to point out that the Squaw Fauxahauntus has no clothes and that well... Now maybe Jeb! was cool with saying nothing and so the propagandizing shills can get away with dressing her in finery that she isn't wearing, but one clear concise succinct word and the fabric of lies falls apart revealing....

This isn't about personal truths. There is no room for a personal truth to counter the universal truth that the sun rises in the East. And this is where the prog radicals that have taken over the Democratic party are.

slightly upset I touched Him I think, and he reached over and grabbed my ankles and calf, i believe looking for a wire..lol..It must be very hard when all is out to get you, paranoia is warranted unfortunately.. God Bless The Trumps

Didn’t Rubio, Cruz and Jeb all have their fits of trying the same in the primaries against Trump?

Warren wouldn’t have been a strong candidate anyway.

The best would be someone with relative youthful energy who is young enough to have hidden just how leftist they are but still inspiring enough for the their base to know it.

I also think the left is playing with fire by starting to go after liberal women as somehow unwitting racists.

Or a different scientist arguing with a climate-change believer.

“I also think the left is playing with fire by starting to go after liberal women as somehow unwitting racists.”

You see this in radical groups from the French Revolution through to Antifa, Muslims and any of the alphabet victim organizations. Any other radical group isn’t nearly as victimized as “we are.” As the MOST victimized group, we are due the bulk of the spoils taken from the dominant white majority. They are, in other words, eating their own.

The radicals running for Democratic offices have already (pre-election) announced that when they are in power they expect the old, white elite (Pelosi, Schumer, et. al.) to step aside and let them take over. (I suspect that the present elite are doing their best behind the scenes to sabotage the up-and-comers.)

Right. And if college-educated, suburban-type women actually catch on the Dems are cooked. Meanwhile, they are at real risk of losing the ability to rally the minority part of their base to back a white female candidate. Which would also do them in.

Which contributes to their growing desperation to try to import minority leftists and get them voting.

I think when the media refer to “college educated,” they mean college indoctrinated. Because, educated people would not vote leftist. Not unless their education was incredibly narrow.
