America Punished Elizabeth Warren for Her Competence

In November 2019, as the Democratic presidential candidates prepared for the primaries that had been taking place unofficially for more than a year and that would begin in earnest in February, FiveThirtyEight’s Clare Malone profiled Pete Buttigieg. In the process, Malone spoke with two women at a Buttigieg event in New Hampshire. One liked Joe Biden, but felt he was a bit too old for the presidency. The other liked Buttigieg, without qualification: “I feel he’s well positioned,” she explained. “The country is ready for a more gentle approach.”

What krap!

[StAntKnee]

Even more basic an issue. It wasn’t America at large. It was a huge swath of DEMOCRATS whom she did not impress enough.

Several family friends have revealed themselves as Fuaxchantas worshipers this week. Plan in place to divest them from the inner circle are already in place. Not salvageable. BTW they are all women.

Well-to her credit, she was almost OK, until she opened her mouth

[econjack]

This complaint tends to take on not the substance of Warren’s stated positions, but instead the style with which she delivers them.

Wrong! She wouldn't know a good economic policy if it announced it was coming before it bit her in the a$$. She has no clue how an economic system should work...unless she wanted to follow Venezuela.

Being honest and competent has not got me as far as this incompetent lying sack of buffalo dung.

[Trumpnado2016]

Of course they blame America and not Democrat Primary voters.

[mad_as_he$$]

“Her real problem is that she’s not very attractive and really bossy.”

In many circles that is felt to be thoughtful and assertive.

Fauxcohantas and the Spin

[Sacajaweau]

Please....she dressed like a bag woman and spoke like she was running for student council and knows little to nothing about anything.

[commish]

She lost because she is a shrill, mean, condescending poor campaigner. She comes across as that mean bossy chrochety English teacher we all had an 7th grade.

[Leep]

You would have to be incompetent to believe that.
Say no more.

[Mr. K]

LOL, yes.

She was just so.... Competent.

[Mr. K]

Not “America”, the Democrats.

Half of America had nothing to do with it.

[Lurkinanloomin]

America did not reward her lying.

[RubinBoomer]

Competence? Have you ever watched one of her campaign events? They start with one of her handlers coming out and talking to the attendees. The first thing out of the handler's mouth is some crap about what pronoun to use. As if there is any question?

It's either he or she. It goes along with the sex you were born. The Injun is so f'ing stupid, that she doesn't know this basic biological fact. That's not competence.

[Pilated]

Baloney! She is a unlikable, smug and off-putting human. As a bona-fide DNA female I would NEVER vote for her, even as a dog catcher.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I feel for you as a bonafide DNA female.
I’m afraid Hillary and Fauxahontas have done enormous damage to the cause of women who want to be POTUS.

[bkopto]

She was punished for wearing the same getup everywhere - the tight black shirt/slacks combo and an oversized, hanging sweater.

She’s the Rick Santorum of the Rats.

[SkyDancer]

She hasn’t the competence to feed her cat.
