As Elizabeth Warren eyes White House run, Her Senate race could pose hurdle
Fox News ^ | 02/06/2017 | Fred Lucas

Liberal icon Elizabeth Warren has emerged as the scourge of the Trump administration, grilling the president’s Cabinet nominees at every chance and coming out against Supreme Court pick Neil Gorsuch within minutes of his nomination.

The moves are what one might expect from a presidential aspirant. But Warren, who is placed in the top tier of likely Democratic 2020 candidates in very-early polls, first has to keep her Massachusetts Senate seat. It’s not a sure thing.

According to WBUR poll, just 44 percent of state voters think she deserves re-election, while a plurality – 46 percent – believes she doesn’t deserve a second term. Overall, Warren has a 51 percent favorability rating in the deep blue state.

Republicans are ready to pounce – looking not only to reclaim the seat held, briefly, by GOP Sen. Scott Brown, but potentially sideline a future White House contestant.

“She is absolutely vulnerable. When she should be working for the people of the state, she is spending her time antagonizing the president,” Massachusetts Republican state Rep. Geoff Diehl, who is considering a 2018 Senate run, told Fox News. “She might as well be running for chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee.”

Diehl was co-chairman of President Trump’s Bay State campaign last year and gained statewide notoriety in 2014 leading a successful referendum to halt gas tax hikes.

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a conservative talk radio host, also is considering running – though how serious, or viable, he is remains unclear. A Suffolk University poll last October found Warren leading Schilling by 58-24 percent.

A UMass Amherst poll last September found Warren would be in a statistical dead heat with either Republican Lt. Gov. Karyn Polito or former Republican Gov. Bill Weld – though it’s unlikely either Polito or Weld would run.

She is yet another ghastly Democrat female.

Why is that all Democrat women are homely as a water buffalo and when they speak they make little or no sense whatsoever?

There is not ONE among them that is as outstanding as are the Republican women.

She needs to call herself a “White Hispanic and learn Spanish, or find someone to verify she’s more than a one/one billionth squaw. The Democrats ain’t nominating a white candidate for president in 2020.

Self answering proposition. Warren may not win Mass. How does she expect to win POTUS when the silent majority are all behind Trump and very much agaist HER personally.

Somebody real should just set her ass down and tell her that no shrew of a woman that reminds men of their mothers-in-law OR their bitter ex-wives will EVER BE ELECTED PRESIDENT, period.

Justified or not, like it or not. This is reality. This is her persona and this is what rules her electability over the electoral landscape.

They should use Elizabeth Warren for those commercials about discovering new unused space you never thought you had in your closet. They could film it between her ears. We need a libtard moron like this leading our nation like we need a national epidemic of ebola.

Warren, additionally and like most Democrat women, is borderline insane. Consider these comments Pocahontas made regarding the cesspool known as Black Lives Matter:

“Owning a home won’t stop someone from burning a cross on the front lawn. Admission to a school won’t prevent a beating on the sidewalk outside,” she stated on Sunday at a speech in front of the AFL-CIO.

"We’ve seen sickening videos of unarmed, black Americans cut down by bullets, choked to death while gasping for air -- their lives ended by those who are sworn to protect them. Peaceful, unarmed protesters have been beaten.

Journalists have been jailed. And, in some cities, white vigilantes with weapons freely walk the streets.”

This is but a scintilla of stupid utterances on the part of this seriously mentally challenged imbecile. Watching her posturing and incredibly ignorant cross examining President Trump's choices for his administration is a study in crazy.

I’d like to see a nominee say “Senator, there’s no way you’re going to vote for me no matter how many questions I answer.
All you’re going to do is berate me through all the time you’re allotted. Therefore I will not waste your or my time answering any of your questions. Thank you.”

So I guess the lesson that Liz took from the 2016 election was that if Hillary was just a little more shrill and sanctimonious, she would have won.

Of course, that is the political world of today. Who knows what it will look like in 2020? We're only two weeks into Trump's term. I wouldn't underestimate the opposition.

Personally, I don't think that Warren is one of their stronger candidates for 2020. I'd be surprised if she lost her Senate seat in 2018 but I would be surprised if she emerged as the nominee in 2020.
