It wasn’t 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 Warren’s campaign. “I thought she had a good chance,” Zikmund-Fisher says. “I gave to her, honestly, with the thought that she’s [going to] be the nominee, and let’s get her campaign off the ground right now.”
Zikmund-Fisher was one of nearly half a million women who contributed to Warren’s campaign with the hopes that she would become the Democratic Party’s nominee and the first female President. Now that she’s 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 Warren’s losses in all 15 primary contests, including a third-place finish in her home state. “That’s just not good enough for the country. It’s 2020, and it’s not good enough.”

Great, Liz. It’s ready for prime time. Pass it along to Judge Jeanine for her dialog.
I’m reminded of what a friend of hers told me: “The public persona is the private persona. There is no other person.”

Very good, my friend, very good...
Warren is a liar first off, she has other problems but starting out with a lie is a sin to begin with...
She can blame who ever she wants, but she should look in the mirror and tell herself she is a liar and a phony...once she overcomes that, then MAYBE she might be accepted back into the human race...
...and your point of ‘entitlement’ nails it on the head, that is what is wrong with America today, everyone ‘thinks’ they are entitled because of this, that or the other when they are not anyone important...
There is ONLY ONE PERSON who is IMPORTANT and that is GOD!!!
Be even remotely appealing to the electorate?
