People who are willing to put their money at risk now think Elizabeth Warren is the favorite to win the Democrats' nomination, according to TMZ, which has cited the data on US-Bookies.com. Biden's polling lead apparently impresses them about as much as it impresses me. As one pundit noted, it's difficult-to-impossible to find voters who are enthusiastic about Biden. Most just settle for him because the rest of the field is so pathetic.
I welcome this news because Warren is a phony who cheated her way into prized Ivy league faculty slots on the basis of affirmative action preferences for "women of color," as the Paleface Pocahontas used to describe herself. Her recent vague "apology" for the unspecified "harm" she did will not suffice with African-American voters.
Here is a truth that our media friends are loath to acknowledge. Black voters hold de facto veto power over a Democrat nominee gaining the presidency. The Democrats' racialism has alienated a sufficient portion of the white voters to make very high black turnout and ultra-high support (90%+) absolutely essential for Democrat presidential victories. A nominee who is incapable of generating that level of enthusiasm not only loses the White House, but dooms the House and Senate candidacies of Democrats in localities where the black vote is the margin of victory.
I don't see an arrogant phony like Warren as able to overcome African-Americans' resentment of her appropriation of racial spoils they regard as their own.
By the way, for very different reasons, Pete Buttigieg hasn't got a chance, either. But his future hopes depend on changing African-American attitudes the way white attitudes have already changed. He has a better prospect on 2028 than Warren has today.

Joe’s showing everyone that he’s shot.
Bernie is yesterday’s communist news.
I thinkem ugly squaw is gonna get gettem the nod and get a blessing from local chief.
From now on she has to greet everyone saying “Howgh”
A Warren-Sanders ticket?????
Can’t these 20 some clowns see they are the pre-show fodder to keep the mob entertained until the chosen contender is herded on to the stage at just the right time for maximum impact?
Need I name the one?
The darling of ALL the fashion magazines, with something for every offended group.
The offended women’s group.
The offended black group.
The offended gay group.
The offended wookie group.
So why hasn’t Harvard sued her for fraudulent means to get into their school? Why hasn’t her degree been revoked?
Ugh!
Doubtful, 2 old whites both from New England.
Anything seems possible now, doesn’t it? My mind was wandering yesterday, and came up with Michelle Obama/Michael Avenatti... Seems as plausible as any other team these days...
Does he bring votes she wasn’t going to get to the table.
If yes, then sure it’s a possibility.
I think this is likely accurate.
She is focused. She has put forth a comprehensive set of proposals which, though we might all detest them, are concrete. Her capitalist-bashing leftism is pretty much where the center of the Democrat Party has moved to. If the banks do something STOOOOOOPID between now and the election she may surge and do very well indeed.
Biggest albatross around her neck is the Fake Indian story. Trump will slice her to bits with that. My sense is that she’s desperately shopping for a tribe willing to give her papers in exchange for a HUGE piece of Federal largesse should she win.
The question is how effective will she be when she inevitably makes her move to the middle, will enough independents, and centrists buy her act?
She just might be more effective there than we think, and that scares me.
Elderly New England twins wouldn’t provide much balance. She would have to pick a younger Black or Hispanic from a swing state to gin up ethnic turnout.
So why hasn’t Harvard sued her for fraudulent means to get into their school? Why hasn’t her degree been revoked?
Not to mention she was a registered Republican before switching parties to further her career.
If she wasn’t running for the Democrat nominee both of those things would have happened.
Disagree, the fake indian thing has pretty much played itself out to the point where it’s now counter-productive to make it an issue.
I know lots of democrats who won’t vote for her...
Yeah, I remember that back in 2008, how Hillary supporters weren't going to vote for Obama, didn't happen. They will fall in line.
I still think PIAPS may try again.
She just might be more effective there than we think, and that scares me.
************************************
Me too. She is getting huge crowds of 12k to 15k already.
Trump can bring up her votes on important issues in the past as an indicator of how she will vote in the future.
Their voting history is harder to explain away and I think that’s why a governor has a better chance.
But there are no governors running.
She could be trouble. We will see what happens.
I’ve already heard some Never Trumper “Republicans” say that they could vote for her.
I didn’t think that was possible a few months ago, and I do think she will be effective in courting the center, she is no dummy.
