Elizabeth Warren calls Cruz, Walker 'scary,' says Dems blew 2014 elections
The Washington Examiner's Washington Secrets ^ | May 31, 2015 | Paul Bedard

Popular Sen. Elizabeth Warren, still being urged to run for president, is calling Republican White House hopefuls Sen. Ted Cruz and front-runner Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker "scary," two potential presidents that could undo a decade of Democratic policies.

"Just the thought of a possible President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker is scary," she warned in an email to supporters.

"But here's something even scarier: A President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker with a Republican-controlled Senate – confirming extremist judges, repealing health care and financial reform, and rigging the system even further for the rich and the powerful," she added in a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.

Some polls show the Democrats falling short of expectations of taking control of the Senate in 2016, and Warren is one of the party's stars in the chamber.

Her warning focused on the possibility of a GOP president and Congress making major changes after the election, much the way President Obama and congressional Democrats used their control of Washington to push through Obamacare and several stimulus programs.

She also conceded that "2014 was a bad year for Democrats" when they lost control of the Senate. She blamed a lack of fundraising and apparently weak campaigns, noting that successors worked overtime to win.

Her email:

Just the thought of a possible President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker is scary.

But here's something even scarier: A President Ted Cruz or President Scott Walker with a Republican-controlled Senate – confirming extremist judges, repealing health care and financial reform, and rigging the system even further for the rich and the powerful.

That's why I'm committed to working with the DSCC to take back the Senate in 2016.

But this effort will take more than just me. It will take you, too. So please, will you pitch in $3 before the deadline in 9 hours?

There's no way to sugarcoat this: 2014 was a bad year for Democrats. We just couldn't compete with the obscene amounts of money that Karl Rove and the Koch brothers spent to smear our vulnerable Democrats on the airwaves at the last minute.

But despite the final tally, there was some hope, too. Some of our toughest Democratic fighters won their 2014 races, and won them big: Al Franken, Jeff Merkley, and Jeanne Shaheen.

How did they do it? They got out there early and talked about what we believe in. And they had early support from people like you to build the grassroots campaigns they needed to win.

The Republican Super PACs are probably feeling unstoppable right now. They think they've figured it all out and can repeat 2014 all over again. But we know the secret of how to stop them: We do it together.

I know from my own Senate campaign that if we all stand up and fight, we can defeat even the most powerful special interests. Will you pitch in $3 today to join me and help Democrats take back the Senate?

Thank you,

Elizabeth Warren

Lie-a-Watha got her wealth flipping houses and taking advantage of the little guy. For instance, in 1993 Warren purchased a foreclosed home in OklahomaCity for $61,000. She resold the home 18 months later for $95,000. So, when she cries big allegator tears about the nasty capitalist profiting off the little guy, Lie-a-Watha profited off of middle class families’ hardship.

Ask her when and where she signed up for Husseincare.

Scary? We don’t need another little woman with the vapors. Hillary was bad enough when she she felt scared because her debate opponent walked over to her to hand her a piece of paper.

Oh lawdy, where’s the smelling salts. The dear is going to faint again.

They won’t have her. They know she’s a fraud.

Your second sentence is certainly true. Your first sentence...... uh.... Hillary is not exactly the most honest, transparent and trustworthy person on the planet. So, I’m thinking you’re wrong. The Democrat Party will take any lying, deceiving witch they can get if they will keep the Entitlements coming in.
