The Trailer: Elizabeth Warren has a theory on how to win, and lots of plans (pow-wow chow barf)
WaPo ^ | David Weigel

Michelle Gack, 65, sat in the front row of Elizabeth Warren’s Saturday night town hall, wearing a shirt she’d just ordered from the campaign. “Warren’s got a plan for that,” it read. After the senator’s past few TV interviews, Gack was sold; she told the senator’s campaign that she would knock on 10,000 doors ahead of the caucuses in Nevada, the third state to vote in the 2020 primaries.

“She really does have a plan for everything, and she’s outlined how to pay for all of it,” Gack said. “The rest of them talk about big ideas, but I haven’t heard specifics, and I haven’t heard the price tags. When she talks about taxing 75,000 families who have $50 million or more, how can you rebut that?”

In the past week, as former vice president Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) settled in as the Democratic primary’s highest-polling candidates, Warren dominated three forums designed for informed voters — a Monday night CNN special, a Wednesday afternoon conference for women of color, and a Saturday forum on wages and workers organized by the Service Employees International Union.

...

In Paradise, where about 500 voters came to see Warren, the candidate pitched her wealth tax (1 percent on wealth over $50 million, 2 percent on wealth over $100 million) by comparing it to the property tax that many middle-class voters already paid. Asked about homelessness, she touted a plan for more government-funded affordable housing by asking the crowd to look around their communities: “If you can afford to buy a McMansion, you’ve got plenty of supply, because that's where the money is for developers. If you can’t afford that, you’re looking at a deteriorating stock.”

Warren dominated a "Wednesday afternoon conference for women of color"?

What color would that be, in the case of Warren...red or ecru?

BTW, if, like Warren says, it is good business to forgive student debt, why not forgive all mortgage debt or auto debt?

Just what we need. A woman whose position and notoriety came from lying about her heritage. Why don’t we just go to a pet store in DC and get a MaCaw for the Oval Office. Would be more colorful, and make more sense when talking than any of the current Democrats running.

“Warren’s got a plan for that,” Yup, that is true, and it is the same plan for everything — increased taxes.

it’s a caucus, which is a small scale riot. all you have to do to win is out-riot the other rioters.

Warren has a plan for you: a plan to confiscate your guns, a plan to make your savings disappear, a plan to “forgive” one trillion $s in student loans, as if the students took them out accidentally, and a plan to bankrupt OUR country for now and forever. Boy, gotta get me more of that!

Reminds me of the 2004 John Kerry campaign. For every issue, he responded: "I have a plan for that." He never revealed any details, but he always had a plan for that.
