Prayer candles. Action figures. Temporary tattoos. Coloring books.
Elizabeth Warren isn't just a progressive icon, she's a merchandising industry unto herself.
The Massachusetts senator and presidential prospect is at the center of a sprawling business built around her appeal to liberals across the country - a reminder of the unabashed devotion she inspires on the left and the footprint she'll cast in the 2020 Democratic primary.
"Elizabeth Warren is an increasingly popular brand that people want to associate with," said Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. "She's the Apple of politics."

Creative merchandise-based branding - like temporary tattoos and pink hats - also offers a way to appeal to potential voters with a softer, tongue-in-cheek touch, Phillips said.
"If some people are turned off to the political process but see something humorous and poignant, it's a way to connect that you don't always get through traditional ads," Phillips said.
At home, Massachusetts Republicans scoff at Warren's merchandising appeal, chalking it up to what they view as a cult of personality surrounding her.

Please, dear God, let it be so.

“Apple of politics”!? I thought she was a kook.

Authentic “squaw poop”. After all, Warren is full of crap so why not capitalize (Oh I can’t use that word about her) on it.
By the ounce, pound, barrel.

Everytime a politician speaks, follow the money.
Not just Warren, but most politicians.
Is it coincidence that email plea for money on a certain issue arrives within seconds of the media making it an issue?
Or was there collusion between the media and the fund raising arm?
