As Elizabeth Warren eyes White House run, Her Senate race could pose hurdle

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.

I agree and to all of us, she will be Obama II....which means we'll all be branded as racists for opposing her.

Her spiritual similarity to the witch in Hansel and Gretel isn't going to help, either.

With the exception of their butt-ugly faces and Hillary’s bloated body they could have been twins! They’re both liars.

And, as far as Hillary is concerned, just disappear PLEASE! Your opinion doesn’t matter to ANYONE, but yourself. And, while you’re at it, take all of your old cronies with you. Do America a favor and just leave and take your sister with you.

Pokey Haunt Us.

She is a treat to watch in Senate hearings. Those who voted for this simpleton should be very embarrassed. And then there’s Al Franken.
