'Women win': Warren takes on gender in final stretch before Iowa caucuses
NBC "News" ^ | January 28, 2020 | By Ali Vitali, Deepa Shivaram and Molly Roecker

DES MOINES, Iowa - Gender has loomed over the presidential candidacy of Sen. Elizabeth Warren from the beginning. It's in her comedic retelling of moments when she's been told to "smile more," called "angry" by a 2020 opponent and faced questions from voters who wonder whether she can beat President Donald Trump.

At times, she's dealt with it all by tilting toward feminism, giving speeches focused on women throughout history who have effected change in government from the outside in. At other moments, she's glossed over questions that have long plagued women in politics.

Now, less than a week before the Iowa caucuses — and amid an unsteady standing in the polls — she's leaning in to the discussion.

"I just want to be clear: Women win!" she declared Sunday night to cheers in Cedar Rapids.

No one had asked about gender directly — at least not yet. Warren explained that she was speaking directly to a question that's otherwise "hidden."

"People ask in different ways," Warren said when asked by NBC News about her new closing pitch Sunday night. "They ask about it. I'm glad to talk about it right up front."

And the new riffs directly take on the electability argument, presenting her gender as an asset against Trump.

Well; maybe they don’t ALWAYS win; but at least they’ve got a leg up.

We are on to your little games with nothing else for you to do. You will be defeated and you know it.

Senator Lieawatha, it’s what you have between your Ears that counts, not what you have or don’t have between your Legs.

Shall I assume Lieawatha was a big Sarah Palin Fan too?

I ask again, what is the explanation for males who vote for Hillary or Warren when each has hostile and biased attitudes toward males?

Is it to impress Dem women? (After the rally if it’s late maybe we could go back to my place.)

Is it other issues overshadow that one (as “It’s virtuous to hate Trump and they hate Trump.”?

Those shrill harridans, and unforgiving schoolmarms, should never receive a male vote.

She hopes as Vice President if something rapidly takes out President Michelle Obama that she will rule for 3 years of one term and run again herself for re-election.

President William Henry Harrison died of pneumonia after serving only 32 days in office 1841. V.P. Warren wonders if history will repeat itself.

Now back to reality.

Stop trying to prove you would be just as good a president as a man. You wouldn’t. There are fundamental differences between men/women. Recognize it. And yes, there are exceptions. You’re not one of them.

Part Delaware and part Cherokee—all we know for sure about her is that she is a pathological liar—the original ad is below—she is a stunningly good liar:

They could find out Warren’s a man and they’d still vote for her er, him.
