Many Democrats Love Elizabeth Warren. They Also Worry About Her.
NY Times ^ | 8/15/19 | Jonathan Martin

**SNIP**

These Democrats worry that her uncompromising liberalism would alienate moderates in battleground states who are otherwise willing to oppose the president. Many fear Ms. Warren’s past claims of Native American ancestry would allow Mr. Trump to drown out her policy message with his attacks and slurs against her. They cite her professorial style and Harvard background to argue that she might struggle to connect with voters from more modest circumstances than hers, even though she grew up in a financially strained home in Oklahoma.

And there are Democrats who, chastened by Hillary Clinton’s defeat in 2016, believe that a woman cannot win in 2020.

**SNIP**

Having been told by advisers to generally avoid engaging on the issue, Ms. Warren struggled in the interview to articulate an answer about whether she would respond to Mr. Trump head-on when he uses his frequent slur for her, “Pocahontas,” or pivot to a more policy-centered rebuttal.

“My job is not to be drawn off into that,” she said.

And she had little to say about why, after pledging to a Native American group last year that she would always highlight their issues when her heritage is raised, she has quietly backed away from the commitment by typically remaining silent when Mr. Trump makes his attacks.

I hope this fraud is at the TOP of the ticket along with Beto Bozo, or maybe Buttplug.

Trump should Tweet: “You in um heap big trouble, squaw!” Since he is getting attacked, anyway, why not go all out? :)

Democrats will have something to worry about when Trump really starts talking about her “family heritage”.

In other words she is an arrogant, snobbish, elitist bitch

I can see why a liberal might support Hillary or Bernie. But Warren is equal parts phony and dull. For the life of me, I can’t see why anyone would support her.

As politically used and understood, the word liberalism was never so innocent, and was scary, but, most democrats tolerated what it meant and didn’t mind voting for the self-describes ‘liberals’.

However, that word has been co-opted by the socialists and communists, and now, everybody should be running away from what it stands for now. Pocahontas might be a liberal, but more like a socialist/communist type that hides behind that ‘formerly innocent’ sounding word.

It’s scary how the ‘new democrats’ have been able to turn a formerly ‘not so harmful’ political party, into something as scary as what people have to endure in Venezuela and Cuba and N. Korea and China. Most people who have accepted the current form of liberalism, are the ignorant and unthinking types; easily fooled and dumb or uncaring or not up-to-date on the issues and politics.

his attacks and slurs against her.


I know this is the NYT, but how is making fun of her self-serving and phony claim to be of Indian descent a “slur”?

If she's so educated and professorial, why can't she use that ten pound brain to figure out how to talk to us rubes in a way that we'll understand? Maybe all these smarty smarts out there aren't all that smart and they just want to play act the part.

I've never met a farmer or tradesman or homemaker or any other person of "modest circumstances" that is turned off by an educated person who treats then with common decency and respect.

Folks...forget it!!! Stop talking about the field of Democrat 2020 POTUS, Candidates. They are losing it on both ends with each passing day. The Iowa State Fair Iowa Democrat Caucus activity was a bust for Democrats as the overwhelming majority of Iowans attending the Fair were bored to death by these Democrat Incompetents...all 24 of them.

Shucks...the fair is now finishing its last day...but...you have heard very little since last weekend of any interesting “going on” for the Dem candidates at the fair. Ya can’t even come up with the recent results of the “Corn Kernel POTUS Poll”...Why? Because POTUS, Trump was the “top corn kernel vote getter”..period.

A “Hail Mary Pass” will come forward as soon the the DNC realizes that not one of their present group of POTUS wannabees has a chance in beating POTUS Trump. Out will come Oprah, Michelle & Hillary...but their efforts will lead them nowhere..period!!! The American voters want Trump as evidenced by his massive 20,000 supporter rally in Manchester, New Hampshire. Folks this POTUS gig is done & over for the current Democrat Party.

The Democrats have more important things to handle...like the pouring of middle Class voters leaving California, New York, New Jersey, etc., for Texas, Florida, Nevada & Arizona, etc.!!! Dems screwed themselves!!!

I am really shocked that her opponents haven’t gone after her at all. They have Biden, Bernie and Harris. Princess Elizabeth has this weird hands off thing. I would think that warren voting for Reagan would be screamed from the mountain top since liberals hate him so much. Why the easy route for warren????? I don’t get it.
