Widely reported headline: “Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she will take ‘hard look’ at presidential run” - Sept. 29th
CNN 2020 Democrats’ ranking: "There's a new No 1 among 2020 Democrats." Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kamala Harris rank first and second - Sept. 18th
Who does President Trump think will be his 2020 opponent? Axios reported on Wednesday that Trump ‘“talks the most”’ about facing Sen. Elizabeth Warren and “’seems to think she’s going to be the nominee.’"
In ancient pre-Trump political times, December 2014 to be exact, I penned a piece on a conservative site entitled Clinton/Warren 2016. It was prompted by Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s growing stature in the Democratic Party as a fighter “‘for the people.’” I opined that Warren’s increasing influence and grassroots popularity with her then-“fresh faced” and “rising star” credentials propelled her — as a yet-undeclared presidential candidate — to push lackluster and presumed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton further to the left. Warren’s leftward momentum was good news for the GOP’s 2016 chances of winning the White House.
Moreover, in 2014 the prospects of a Clinton/Warren “‘all chick tick’” signifying “‘girl-power’” prompted my opening question, ‘”Should Republicans laugh, fear, or dismiss?’”
Ultimately, Sen. Warren declined to seek the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination. Now, four years after my piece, Warren has achieved iconic status as a liberal ideologue and heroine to the Democratic Party’s left wing that now dominates the party and is widely considered its “mainstream.”
That helps explain why CNN has Warren at the top of the ever-expanding list of Democratic 2020 wannabees with, as noted above, California Sen. Kamala Harris in second place.
Meanwhile, Harris leads the pack at the most popular political betting site and because there is constant buzz about her favorable 2020 prospects, I am prompted to again discuss the potential for a Democratic “all chick tick.”
But, unlike in 2014 when Hillary Clinton was clearly number one, 2020 could portend a vicious fight between Harris and Warren who, at this juncture are equally likely to win the nomination.
By every new and traditional political metric, both women appear to be actively seeking the 2020 nomination. It is also safe to assume that the Democratic ticket will include at least one woman and I will argue possibly two, depending on the size and strength of a “pink wave” in the midterm elections.
Therefore, if record numbers of Democratic women win seats in the Senate, House, and Governors’ mansions, it would greatly increase the chances of a Warren/Harris or Harris/Warren 2020 ticket. (And don’t count out Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Kristin Gillibrand (D-NY) because early polls and rankings are notoriously wrong.)
Close to four years after C-SPAN’s Washington Journal displayed and read aloud from my Clinton/Warren 2014 piece, (almost as quaint political entertainment) the prospects of an all-female ticket do not appear to be the least bit radical or unlikely. Honestly, even referring to a 2020 female ticket as an “all chick tick” as I did in 2014 sounds dated!
Republicans cannot downplay the long-term policy impact of how women are on an accelerated path to dominating and controlling all aspects of the Democrat Party. The progress is astounding even compared to 2016 when Hillary Clinton won women by a margin of 52 to 41 percent over Donald Trump. Conversely, Trump won white women by a 57 to 37 percent margin.
Won’t happen. Neither would play 2nd fiddle to the other. too much dirt on both to be viable candidates, except to suck up oxygen and resources from RAT donors, so hope they try.
Kamelallah Harris is a soulless demon.
Laugh
Trump will chew those “Women” and spit them out
Real women are not liars, frauds, racists like those two beyotches
Bring it. As we seeing in the reaction to the Kavanugh smear job, GOP and Independent women are not nearly as brain dead politically bigoted as the Feminist mafia in the DNC are,
Heaven help us!
They will be loud, in your face and anti-male.
I am neither more nor less likely to vote for a woman than for a man, all other things being equal. I would happily have voted for Governor Palin over either Mitt Romney or John MacCain, and I’m a big fan of both Golda Meir and Margaret Thatcher. However, I would have trouble finding a less qualified pair than Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Sen. Kamala Harris. I haven’t heard a proposal that absurd since Obama/Biden. Thank God they would be running against President Trump!
> Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she will take ‘hard look’ at presidential run <
I’m confused. Did she mean President of the United States or President of the Cherokee Nation?
And tax cheat.
[[Should GOP Laugh, Fear or Dismiss?]]
““Sen. Elizabeth Warren says she will take ‘hard look’ at presidential run”
Bahahahahahaha..........Bahahahahahahaha..........Snort..........Bahahahahahahahaha
Hey, picking a female VP candidate worked well for Mondale.
Should this be attempted, RAT primaries could be quite entertaining.
None of the above
“Won’t happen. Neither would play 2nd fiddle to the other. too much dirt on both to be viable candidates, except to suck up oxygen and resources from RAT donors, so hope they try.”
They might if they realize they have ZERO chance of defeating Trump.
The Rat “leaders” will likely know that for sure 30 days from now.
The #MeToo Ticket would have every leftist woman vote, perhaps 3/4 of their gelded men, and they’d bully the fence sitters, but the “Independents” will run from that.
I fear that I might laugh so hard that I will dismiss my lunch.
Donald Trump debating Elizabeth Warren! We better make sure the popcorn crop is plentiful in 2020.
The Indian makes Dr. Fraud look mentally stable.
It will be Warren and Sherrod Brown. Gotta have all the boxes checked.
After Kavanaugh?
Everybody everywhere is going to rethink putting women in any kind of position of responsibility. I have a daughter, she’s the one who brought this up.
All of this talk is pointless. Michelle Obama is going to be the Democrat presidential nominee in 2020. You heard it here first.
