President Donald Trump’s pollster on Thursday put in writing his prediction that Sen. Elizabeth Warren would soon lead the Democratic primary field, estimating that her rise, coinciding with former Vice President Joe Biden's fall, would be cemented by October.
GOP strategist Ward Baker on Thursday commented on a video of Biden refusing to apologize for comments touting his past ability to work with segregationist senators to get things done in the chamber. "By October he will be #3 in polls," he tweeted. "Just give it time."
"Agreed," Trump pollster Tony Fabrizio responded, tagging Warren in the tweet, "and @ewarren will be leading." The former vice president has led in nearly every primary poll since jumping into the race this spring. But Biden’s support may be facing its first real test, as his opponents have seized on a number of stumbles by the former veep after the segregationist comments and his recent reversal on public funding for abortion. That’s mixed news for Fabrizio and Trump — internal polling conducted by Trump’s campaign several months ago found Biden leading the president in head-to-head match-ups in several key states, and public polls in critical states have signaled danger for the president as well. While the campaign let several pollsters go after the internal numbers leaked, Fabrizio was not included in the purge.
But the campaign has recently begun to focus its efforts on Warren as well, conceding that there’s much about the Massachusetts senator that could cut into Trump’s populist message, and that her discipline as a candidate could be a major boon to her chances. Others in Trumpworld have argued that the campaign should hold off on attacking Warren just yet, maintaining that her liberal policies would make her an easier target in the general election.
Warren has mounted a quiet and steady rise in the polls throughout the spring, crisscrossing the country and touting her massive trove of policy proposals as a counter to Trump.
In two recent polls in the early voting states of Nevada and California, Warren leapfrogged Sanders for second place behind Biden. And the Democratic establishment has also begun to signal a level of comfort with Warren as the potential nominee.
It won't hurt that Warren will likely be able to escape the fray of the party's first primary debates, as she is the only frontrunner who will appear on stage when debates kick off next week, while Biden, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Kamala Harris and South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg will battle it out on the second night of debates.
Trump would certainly want it to be Pocahantas... she gets the nod, Trump may very well get a 1972 to 1984 EC victory.
The crazy aunt in the attic. I think she flails her arms more that that Irish Hispanic guy from Texas.
Warren is like Hillary, but without the warmth.
It might be possible for her to win the Oklahoma Democrat primary, but rest assured, she will never carry Oklahoma in a general election against Trump.
Let’s just say that real Native Americans are not easily impressed by opportunists or poseurs...
She might be the front runner in the polls but she doesn’t have enough minority blood to get the nomination.
Have you guys heard this woman speak?
I just can’t wait until it gets down and dirty with these people and they will eventually have to start insulting each other.
So much fun!!
She is one angry nutty woman. How can she appeal to anyone outside of the man hating feminists? Her attempt at being Ms Joe Beer was an absolute flop. She is as unlikable as Shillary maybe even moreso!
Her screech approaches that of Hillary, except Warren is more animated.
Bwaahhhh hah hah hah, I really do hope Gray Beaver is the nominee!!
She’s even more ridiculous, clueless and unlikable than Kankles!!!
Don’t kid yourselves. Plugs will ultimately get a pass on everything because he has a D beside his name.
So? Trump won the California, Illinois, New York and Massachusetts primaries in 2016 and never had a chance of taking any of them.
“The crazy aunt in the attic.”
To me, she comes across as every cliche evil mother-in-law in bad movies.
Flush twice. Not all of them went down.
Old, white, shrill, angry female
A surefire hit
Don’t confuse anger with energy
There is nothing hopeful or inspiring about Lizzie
The press has decided to nuke Biden. Warren May be their solution. Only problem is if Hillary decides to jump in. She’s got an itch just like Roy Moore
The beauty of the situation is that no one in the demonrat klown kar has any charisma nor any MO. The only person in that party that has any MO is not yet eligible to run.
That’s why I’m staying with my prediction of Crooked H.
Our side has the best meme’s, that’s for sure.
We have the best guy on Twitter too.
