Elizabeth Warren’s desperate gambit may signal the end: A candidate credibility crisis is at hand
The Lowell Sun ^ | 01-16-2020 | Tom Shattuck

Her back is against the wall now. Everything is on the table.

Even if it wasn’t so dire a situation Elizabeth Warren has shown that she is capable of anything in her quest for power.  She has gone from Wall Street watchdog to Bernie Sanders acolyte to AOC enthusiast to gender warrior (“she/hers”) and finally to feminist freedom fighter (“I thought a woman could win [the presidency.] He disagreed.”)

The latest Warren incarnation is especially cynical though, as her clunky slight-of-hand techniques are so thoroughly unconvincing that she must know that most Americans see right through it all.

With that, the national media ran with the gender war narrative in the hopes that voters will now see the Democratic Primary as a referendum on all women, personified by one woman: Elizabeth Warren.

Unfortunately for her, it may turn out to be a referendum on liars.

When in trouble, she just needs to flap her arms about and screech about Donald Trump.

Warren might have gotten away with her lies in the days before video tape. Her rehearsed stories on tape were devastating.

Poor Elizabeth Warren. She’s got a bad case of the Newt syndrome. And once you’ve got it, it’s hard to let it go.

“I’m going to be the nominee.“

This whole Sanders-comment-thing is so obviously bogus it reeks.

It allegedly happened 4 years ago ... if it was so shocking, how come she never said anything before?

The Dem contest has been going on for a year now, why didn’t she speak up in the last few months?

But only now, only when Bernie is suddenly in the lead and Lizzie is fading, does his “shocking” comment get attention from Warren ...

I’m calling a smear-job on this ... Liz has a long history of deliberately lying

The ONLY thing that will signal the end of her (or any) campaign is the state of the campaign bank account.

A massive own goal. Her own fault.

If she’s lying, she’s a liar.

If she’s telling the truth, she’s someone who can’t be trusted to keep a confidential discussion confidential.

My wife said something along those lines: She said Warren either has a closet-full of those sweaters, or has them dry-cleaned every day, or she’s “pretty ripe” on a regular basis.

It seems to be her “uniform,” like the way Ina Garten always wears bespoke tent shirts on Food Network.
I think Lizzie is very much trying to look middle class (at best). Wouldn’t want to appear to be an uppity Indian.

And if Bernie said he didn’t think a woman COULD win, that may have merely been an assessment of the political landscape, which is radically different from saying a woman SHOULDN’T win.

Standards of credibility cannot be applied to DemonRats. A bonafide qualification for them to their base is that they aren’t credible, moral, or ethical. Standards within these qualities only matter to people who are credible, moral and ethical.
