Liberal icon Elizabeth Warren has emerged as the scourge of the Trump administration, grilling the presidents 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. Its 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 doesnt 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 Trumps 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 its unlikely either Polito or Weld would run.

...Liberal icon Elizabeth Warren...
A Fringe lunatic liberal among the many who can’t come to terms of why and how they lost the House, Senate, the Presidency, and 1,000+ state and local offices.
They need to be ground into the mud they are creating and wallowing in
Pocahontas is running in 2020?
If Curt Shilling runs against her in 2018, she’s toast.
If Curt Schilling would turn the squaw into burnt toast, Tom Brady would grind her into breadcrumbs.
There’s a victory rally tomorrow in Boston for the Patriots. When the inevitable question comes about what Tom Brady is going to do next season, he should answer, “I’m thinking of retiring and running for senator.”
That would ruffle a few feathers (pun intended).
Elizabeth Warren Eyes White House Run
Because there are still a few things in America that Barack Obama and other insane democrats haven’t managed to totally destroy.
Ah! The idiot Fake injun squaw. -— after obama and HilLIARy too. The DNC commits suicide.
TWO THINGS THAT ARE CONSTANT...THE 10 COMMANDMENTS AND OUR U.S. CONSTITUTION. Elizabeth Warren is one of the reasons Donald Trump is POTUS.
If the GOPe were smart (something I haven’t seen much evidence of in a long, long time) they would secretly fund a strong dem candidate to kill off Fauxcohontas politically.
Geoff Diehl is a good man, and what Mass desperately needs. Sorry Curt
Every Senator is a national politician now and none of them (or very few of them) represent their state. The 17th amendment was a very bad idea. If not then, then certainly now with the digital revolution. At this point the state doesn’t really have a representative and as such the separation of branches is really not in full force. There are two bodies of congress who represent “The people” and this is being so badly manipulated that you may as well get rid of the Senate all together.
Sorry to inform you, but it will be Kamala Harris. She has all the bona fides of Obama, PLUS she’s a woman and was actually the elected AG of California. I sure hope California secedes before she can be foisted on us via the ignorant Leftist voters (legal, illegal and dead).
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAASSSSSSSE let her run!!!!!!
“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.”
You nailed it. She’s a combination of a nitwit and a Patty Murray type ideologue. She’s a millionaire academic who lies routinely and sees herself as better than everyone. If she weren’t a leftist, she would have been fully revealed and dismissed long ago.
It's up to the 'pubs to choose a candidate who gets it, about that streak of independence in most MA voters.
It isn't just the dems. Both political parties have moved along candidates whom they can control.
Occasionally, an exception does overcome that, Joni Ernst and that HOR Hawaiian HOR rep come to mind. Could it be that we might do well by wanting female candidates with a military background? Just letting my thoughts ramble here...
More than her electability, the senate race will illustrate how much warren actually believes in the integrity of elections. My guess: zero.
Scott Brown has moved from Massachusetts to New Hampshire.
Curt Shilling should have run when Scott Brown did, Shilling was well known and liked then, compared to the unknown Scott Brown.
But now I believe Shilling has picked up too many negatives since then in his business dealings.
The Republicans should cross both Brown and Shilling off their list.
IMHO- To give you an idea of how left wing our state is, Michelle Obama could run and win for senator, without even campaigning here. -Tom
“Liberal icon Elizabeth Warren”
“Liberal Icon”? Why stop there? Just go ahead & name her “Saint Elizabeth”! There is already a place named and reserved for her in Washington, DC.
“Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital is the District’s public psychiatric facility...”
choked to death while gasping for air -- their lives ended by those who are sworn to protect them. ... see "How not to get your A$$ beaten by a cop", by Chris Rock.
Peaceful, unarmed protesters have been beaten. ....most of them were Trump supporters, though, and they were beaten by rioters.
Journalists have been jailed. And, in some cities, white vigilantes with weapons freely walk the streets. .... This is the kicker. Show me one. Just one, and I'll gladly remain quiet. Name one jailed journalist. Show me a video of one real, honest-to-goodness White Power vigilante, that wasn't a leftist agitator posing and trying to cause trouble.
Just one.
Arguably, Our Current President is doing *exactly* what he should be doing.
In contrast to the past yokel.
