It wasnt until August 8th, 2019, months into the unofficial start of the Democratic presidential primary, that Naomi Zikmund-Fisher threw her money behind Elizabeth Warren. The 49-year-old social worker from Superior Township, Mich., had supported Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary. But in Warren, she saw something different: a candidate who had translated Sanders progressive talking points into tangible policies, and one who might actually win. She deposited $2,800 the maximum donation an individual can give a candidate during a primary into Warrens campaign. I thought she had a good chance, Zikmund-Fisher says. I gave to her, honestly, with the thought that shes [going to] be the nominee, and lets get her campaign off the ground right now.
Zikmund-Fisher was one of nearly half a million women who contributed to Warrens campaign with the hopes that she would become the Democratic Partys nominee and the first female President. Now that shes out of the race, those donors are frustrated with what the remaining candidates have to offer and have renewed questions about the ceiling for women in presidential politics. I was surprised by how punched in the gut I felt on Tuesday, Zikmund-Fisher says, recounting Warrens losses in all 15 primary contests, including a third-place finish in her home state. Thats just not good enough for the country. Its 2020, and its not good enough.

A fool and her money are soon parted. But see some solace in this, Naomi: you’re only out $2,800; imagine how much more you would be mugged if this loon were elected.
Maybe the rats should run someone that is not a giant nag.
Not be a democrat is a good start.

Sometimes, when I see a picture like that, I wish somebody had a bucket of ice water to throw on them. Wake up, get a grip, deal with it.
How about coming up with some original ideas on how to make the country better rather than just running as a woman and a minority. You might have gained in popularity with that one for a start.
You should have said, “What does a candidate have to do.” And you didn’t. So you can’t be a candidate because in your own words, you choose to be just a woman. Pity doesn’t win elections.

So-called progressive Jews = Soros-style Jews.
Soros, who literally collaborated with actual nazis against his own people.
The problem is the feminists are treating the Presidency like it’s a traditional career path. They think if women get the same resume as men who have the job, they should easily get it.
Of course elected offices, especially the President, is far more complex and there is no career path. So having a resume like Obama’s doesn’t mean you will automatically be president. It’s not about a checklist of qualifications like a job applicant has. But this is how feminists treat it.
They are also going the wrong route. Women keep trying to use the Senate as a stepping stone to the White House. But that’s actually not a good route if you want to be President. Only 3 times in our history was a sitting Senator elected directly to the White House.
If you want a woman President, you need more female VPs and female governors.
It is immoral to let a fool keep his money. ;o)
1) Don’t lie.
2) Don’t be a radical communist dumbass.
“”I was surprised by how punched in the gut I felt on Tuesday,””
Good grief - now we have to put up with women having hysterics because a woman they supported didn’t finish the race? Just proves once more that we don’t need women in politics!!
From a woman!
I’ve been looking for the opportunity to use this from “A Hymn to Him” - My Fair Lady:

Well....be good Presidential material.
clearly, she should just chalk the loss up to Peter Principle inequality.
Gray Beaver got as high as she could go with no ability beyond being a woman

Yes, but this is the gospel preached at universities for a couple decades or more. Women, people-of-color, gays, and other "oppressed" are "entitled" to be raised to their level of incompetence.
Warren came out of academia, the seeding ground for this politically-correct idiocy. So it's only fitting that Warren — the champion of affirmative-action-politics — should died on that phantom hill.
Warren is a defective, first-generation HUMANOID POLITICIAN, a klutzy digital Frankenstein the globalists should have never allowed to escape from the lab.
The author of a splendid Boston Magazine piece [Why is Elizabeth Warren so Hard to Love?] nails it:
She swats and jabs at the air, talking about what we fight for every single day and what defined America was the idea of opportunity.
Im reminded of what a friend of hers told me: The public persona is the private persona. There is no other person.
I never listened to her due to her distracting waving arms and strange body. Maybe next time the DNC could run women who weren't such liars and loony toons.
Nails it.
Democrat primaries ... democrat rules.
Run by democrats - votes counted by democrats... Citizens who rejected Warren, rejected ‘people of color’, and rejected a gay man were democrats...
Democrats chose two old white men... They’ll be looking for a way to blame us...
You’re right that one is like a cheaply sewn doll with a little digital sound module stuck in its chest for 6 phrases 2 tones and 3 angry eye positions and a total of 36 roughly nuanced utterances. Randomly sequenced over the course of a debate answer they create the illusion of governing philosophy.

Really nailed it.
