The Many Similarities between Elizabeth Warren and Hillary Clinton
The National Review ^ | June 14, 2019 | Jim Geraghty

I’ll be out next week. Remember that if you’re in the Hilton Head area, you can hear me ramble about the book, answer some questions about politics and the presidential race, and get some free food Monday night. It’s free, just RSVP here.

Making the click-through worthwhile: contemplating whether the attacks Trump used against Hillary Clinton will work against Elizabeth Warren; the Democrats pick their top 20 candidates for the debates, leaving a governor, a former senator, a Congressman and a mayor out in the cold; and Trump proves, once again, that he will never change, no matter the consequence.

Which 2020 Democrat Reminds You the Most of Hillary Clinton?

The Boston Herald declares, “Elizabeth Warren is on the rise — the presidential hopeful’s aggressive policy push is translating into a surge in the polls just in time for the first set of debates.”

Anytime you compare a current candidate to a past presidential candidate, you’re going to get counter-arguments that “Candidate X is different from Candidate Y!” No two candidates are exactly alike. Matthew Continetti asked if Joe Biden would be the next Hillary Clinton; Jonah and David French pointed out the differences, I had wondered about the pair back in April.

But if you’re trying to figure out which Democratic presidential candidate would have the worst shot of beating Trump, one way to look at it is to ask, out of the entire 2020 field, which candidate reminds you of Hillary Clinton the most?

Elizabeth Warren is 69; Hillary Clinton turned 69 right before Election Day 2016. Both lawyers, both served in the Obama administration, both elected to the Senate in a big Northeastern state. Both women were trailblazers in high-powered legal circles; one attended an Ivy league law school, one taught in an Ivy league law school.

Clinton took a lot of grief about implausible claims of being “dead broke” when she left the White House or her Tuzla Dash; Warren gets a lot of grief about her implausible claims of Native American heritage. Hillary Clinton faced accusations that her career’s rapid ascent involved insider deals and dishonesty; Warren faces accusations that her career’s rapid ascent involved dishonesty about minority status and institutions eager to tout that unsupported claim. For women who have risen to the top of national politics, they’ve faced criticism for being tone-deaf about how they’ve handled sensitive issues....

In a Pee-Wee League to Major League way, I suppose.

Okay, Little League to Major League...

Maybe you can put lipstick on a pig and get a prom queen, considering your point. 👍

I’m hoping the American male does not want to be screeched at for 4 years.

Big? Massachusetts is the 44th biggest state in the US.

Together, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island field six US Senators. Twelve if you add Maine, New Hampshire, And Vermont. That’s a lot of clout for a small corner of the country!

She is ahead because of Obama care. My 2 oldest kids had student loans.they were from banks in those days. Competitive. My youngest son has one, now. Now they are all through Obama care .6.8% interest. My son was forced to borrow money. He borrowed 19,000.00 dollars but is expected to pay back $40,000.00. Elizabeth Warren wants to cancel$50,000.00 in student loan debt. That is the whole reason she is climbing in the poles.

Hillary is an evil grifter. Warren is just a dopey no class liar. Hmm those are similarities.

Not a good comparison. There may be a couple of superficial trivial things Clinton and Warren have in common, but Clinton seems more like a slovenly drunk, while Warren shows some energy.
