Is Barack Obama part of Elizabeth Warren’s plan? The former president will not endorse anyone in the primary, but that doesn’t mean Obama will remain studiously non-interventionist either. While Warren tries to score populist points with her class-warfare schtick, Obama has been working the big-ticket donor rolls to ready them for a Warren nomination
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has spent her campaign railing against the donor class, making it known she doesn’t want their help.
She has publicly bashed millionaires, has sworn off high dollar fundraisers and has refused large checks from Democratic bundlers.
But behind the scenes in recent months, former President Obama has gone to bat for Warren (Mass.) when speaking to donors reluctant to support her given her knocks on Wall Street and the wealthy.
And if Warren becomes the nominee, Obama has said they must throw the entirety of their support behind her.
That’s … the weirdest good cop/bad cop routine ever. Obama had a ton of Wall Street support for his first presidential bid, but Warren’s taking a page out of Obama’s re-election campaign playbook this time. Remember Obama’s attacks on Bain Capital and Mitt Romney for “vulture capitalism”? Obama tried to make the fire-breathing class warrior a part of his administration to attack credit lenders, an effort that Republicans derailed with some difficulty. Those big-ticket donors could be forgiven if this looks more like bad cop/really bad cop to them.
Besides, this is a weird play for Obama now, as opposed to October. Two months ago, Warren had enough momentum to perhaps warrant a little path-clearing by the Democratic Party’s eminence grise for Warren. Now, however, Warren’s plunged to third place, far behind Obama’s old partner in the White House (brown line on RCP aggregate chart):
Speaking of old partners, isn’t this a bit of a no-confidence vote by Obama in Joe Biden? Biden has led polling wire to wire; Warren did come closest to pushing him out of the lead for about a hot second, but she’s not even a cold second at the moment. At one point in the last couple of weeks, Warren had come into close proximity of fourth place, but Pete Buttigieg’s brief flirtation with the top tier appears to have begun to wane now, too. This is a race between Biden and Bernie Sanders, which makes one wonder why Obama’s concerned about clearing a path for Warren — and not his old partner.
Seems like he’s homophobic?
Honestly it’s the best they got, and I’m being serious.
It will be like 1996 was for the GOP, though.
By that I mean Warren will run a boring campaign with no energy, and lose eaisly.
I see this as a replay of 1992 with Tulsi, steyer or bloomie playing ross perot
No one who is worth a Damn wants the nomination this cycle... because whoever winds up the nominee is going to get beat, and get beat BADLY.... So it will be a millstone around their neck if they try to run in 2024. YOU LOST AND LOST BAD TO TRUMP!... GET OUT OF HERE...
So anyone in the race this year that has any brain is using it to build brand and donor and infrastructure networking for a 2024 run when the D’s might have a shot.
All Democrats, including their candidates shpould be smart enough to distance themselves from the community organizer president of dirty name. Evidence via the FISA court suggests that our dirty ex president spied on thousands of political. opponents via Rice and Powers fraudulent unmasking of private citizens.
When that SHTF, these candidates, reincarnations of Don Quixote of La Mancha tilting at windmills, want to be as far away from the former president of dirty name as possible.
or 1988 with pochanhontas as mike Dukakis in a tank helmet
This woman is such a vacant mess.
Who would want to throw their money down this rat hole?
I would not continue to exist under a ‘ President Warren’
Barry Hussein is doing a political Michael Corleone on biden, gently inviting him to the Italian restaurant...
If The zone is doing this it is truly a Christmas gift for Republicans.
The One
Im guessing a brokered dims convenation and little mikey Bloomberg coming out on top. demonrats will try and milk that money for all its worth!
Ya gotta love it, a mulatto Muslim phony endorsing a fake Indian lying Socialist phony
EW will be like Hillary: the more voters see her the less they will like her. She is every bit as annoying to listen to as Hillary was, maybe more so.
LOL! Lizzy Warpath from the Tax & Spend Tribe? Good choice, Barry. Put on that headdress and warpaint...flail those fatty arms...and ride alongside on horseback so you can be environmentally friendly next to The Clown Car. Put some coin in the grocery store pony, Barry. Don’t get hurt. Wear a helmet.
No DEM would suffer that kind of loss (111 EVs for Dukasis). Warren would receive at least 175 EVs and, depending on the fraud level (which *will* be unprecedented), over 200 EVs.
Thanks for posting.
Will be sharing.
