Elizabeth Warren Could Never Escape The Baggage Of Being A ‘Female Candidate’
Huffington Post ^ | March 5, 2020 | Amanda Terkel

Posted on 03/05/2020 10:22:30 AM PST by C19fan

Elizabeth Warren wasn’t trying to be the first female president.

She wanted to be president. She wanted to cut banks down to size and relieve student debt. Root out the corrupt influence of money in politics and go after monopolies.

Warren didn’t focus on how she’d be breaking a glass ceiling. She didn’t shy away from her gender, but when she talked about feminism, it was most often centered on female organizers and the movements they’ve led throughout history.

But Warren couldn’t just run for president. At every step of the campaign, she was reminded that people still saw her as a female candidate, with all the baggage that comes with that designation ― questions about her toughness, likability and relatability.

She was like Hillary. The more people heard her the less they liked her AND nobody likes being nagged by their mother in law.

Her only strength was being a woman with all the glass ceiling bs to talk about. How many here would elect Candace Owen’s?
(Somehow she wont be a woman according to the left)

Warren is a LIAR AND A PRETENDER. To the native people there is nothing worse.

To honorable people who value their heritage, there should be nothing worse.

(from the article) :"At every step of the campaign, she was reminded that people still saw her as a female candidate, with all the baggage
that comes with that designation ― questions about her toughness, likability and relatability."

Warren had milked the minority status for decades.
All the flapping of angry arms and she couldn't fly.
Truth has a way to eventually come and bite you in the a$$.
Add feminism to her "entitlement", but the false Native American ancestry became too much to swallow by the electorate.
Her antics, her idealistic 'free for all' healthcare and college, and her plan to tax the rich into oblivion exceeded the national gross productive income.
Lizzie, come back when you can simply understand math; better yet, stay in Massachusetts with your theories .
There's a reason the locals call it :"Taxachusettes", and relocate to New Hampshire.

Other female dems must not hear how grating her wobbly voice is?
Or, they all sound like that?

Her outfit choices were the same day after day. She must have a closet full of black slacks and colored jackets. Her policy choices were what sunk the SS Warren not that she was a woman. The author is so full of it.

At every turn she was shrewish, scolding, and unlikable. And a liar on top of all that.

But of course people didn’t vote for her because they’re sexist neanderthals.

In a free and fair election there is no woman who can be elected.

Women won’t trust them.

And that's all from you clymers on the left, Amanda. Whenever we on the right talk solely of merit and ignore race, gender and whatever else you guys keep track of, you scream that we're racists and misogynists who only want to old white men to succeed. Like Biden and Sanders. Oops, they're your candidates left standing. Look in the mirror. That's where the problem lies.

Does that mean she never got over herself?

At some point Liberals will want us to vote for the candidate with one brown eye and one blue eye... like that’s gonna be a qualifier.

Utter nonsense. People could not get over her being a fake Indian.

She’s a liar and a very bad one at that. That is her baggage! The same goes for Joe Biden bc he has a serious case of CRS and is not smart enough to overcome it.

This had nothing to do with her gender. I have never heard or read anyone saying no for her gender. No is for her lies and socialist agenda.

Bull$h!t. Lizzy warden was not fit for the presidency. Stop trying to fulfill your fantasy of a woman president. The day will come. One day, a woman will be found who doesn’t think that she should act the way she thinks men act (like angry, shrill, mean bastards), and she will be suitable for the job.
