You're really reaching on that one, james. She has zero chance of becoming President. Zero. I assume the other poster related the title of this thread to Trump because it is called Warren's Pres Candidacy. Thus if back in 2015 \ 16 it was called Trump's Pres Candidacy, that would be comical to many since most people (even those that liked Trump), were not predicting he would win. I.e. many felt Trump had zero chance. If I recall correctly you were an exception back then in predicting Trump would win. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

You would think then that he might support someone like Warren, but no. Swithin was right. For him, it was not about policy all along. It's always been about trolling the establishment which is why he thinks Trump is his guy. 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted July 31, 2019 Author Share Posted July 31, 2019 Elizabeth Warren’s Big Night The senator’s plea that voters set aside their fears and back the candidate they believe in helped her stand out on a crowded stage. ".....I remember when people said Barack Obama couldn’t get elected. Shoot, I remember when people said Donald Trump couldn’t get elected. But here’s where we are. I get it. There is a lot at stake, and people are scared. But we can’t choose a candidate we don’t believe in just because we’re too scared to do anything else. And we can’t ask other people to vote for a candidate we don’t believe in. Democrats win when we figure out what is right and we get out there and fight for it. I am not afraid, and for Democrats to win, you can’t be afraid either." The message was clever: She played to voters’ desire to vote for a candidate they believe in, while insinuating that she was that candidate. Since the debate lineups were announced, there had been speculation about how Warren and Sanders, who share a broadly common set of policies (though not the same approach to politics), would interact, and about whether the candidates would attack each other or join forces. ........ https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/07/elizabeth-warren-i-am-not-afraid-democratic-debate/595135/?utm_content=edit-promo&utm_source=twitter&utm_term=2019-07-31T02%3A07%3A17&utm_campaign=the-atlantic&utm_medium=social 1 Link to post Share on other sites

mr6666 Posted August 29, 2019 Author Share Posted August 29, 2019 @NPR · 14h Elizabeth Warren has raked in $25 million (without big-money fundraisers). Her poll numbers have more than doubled since April. And on Sunday, she drew her largest crowd of the campaign yet — 15,000 in Seattle. ===================== ....."She's so good at explaining her ideas in a way that makes sense to the audience," said Karen Finney, a Democratic strategist who worked on the Hillary Clinton presidential campaign and Stacey Abrams' Georgia bid for governor but is not currently affiliated with any presidential campaign. "And she's winning people over; the challenge will be all the money that will be spent to make her ideas sound scary." Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University, said the questions about Warren's electability are something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. "In some ways, it seems like it's a story that is self-perpetuating," Walsh said. "There are a lot of people who say they're enthusiastic about her, but afraid others aren't — and that creates this notion that she or a woman in general won't become electable."..... Part of Warren's challenge — and opportunity — is to convince women that she is electable. Women have been a driving force behind the "resistance" to President Trump, they were the fuel to taking back the House in the 2018 midterm elections, and they make up a strong majority of Democratic voters. In the 2016 primary, for example, women made up 58% of Democratic primary voters and caucusgoers, according to exit polls. It's a similar potential path for President Barack Obama's victory over Clinton in the 2008 primary. Key to his win was convincing African Americans that white voters would back him. After winning the Iowa caucuses, which were more than 90% white, Obama took off with black voters, leading to his crucial victory in South Carolina.... https://www.npr.org/2019/08/28/754856480/warrens-on-the-rise-but-can-she-convince-democrats-she-can-beat-trump?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_term=nprnews&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr 1 Link to post Share on other sites
