Stung by losses, progressive women aim for a win in Illinois

CHICAGO - Things were gloomy inside Elizabeth Warren’s Illinois campaign headquarters the day after Super Tuesday, where it had become clear the Massachusetts senator’s presidential bid was coming to an end. Staff in Chicago “floated around like ghosts” and tried to figure out what the roughly 40 people showing up for that night’s phone bank should tell voters, organizer Cat Valdez recalled.

Another staffer came up with an idea: They would make calls for Marie Newman, a progressive trying to unseat Chicago-area Rep. Dan Lipinski, a staunch abortion opponent and one of the most conservative Democrats in Congress. By the end of the night the Warren team had made about 4,000 calls, some of them through tears.

Women’s groups have reason to feel deflated. Following several years of historic gains for women — including a record six women running for president — Warren was the last of the major female candidates to quit the race when she dropped out the day after the Chicago phone bank. It’s now a contest between two 70-something white men, former Vice President Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders, and Sanders, the more progressive of the two, has slipped behind.

Last time I cried was at a family funeral. Not a political rally.

You would have to be really hard up to pick up a liberal woman. They seem to be nothing but a problem that a sane man does not need.

this was a long time ago. I picked up a woman at a bar and she was liberal. She never left the next morning. 11 a.m. came and 12 p.m. came and 1 p.m. came and 2 p.m. came.

Panic set in because with New York city’s insane rental laws she could have been there 6 months. Thank God at around 3 p.m. after asking her a thousand times she finally left with an attitude.

I didn’t care that she went away mad. Just that she went away.

I was not one to do that kind of thing really and after that I don’t think I ever did it again

Obviously nothing wrong with a good body, but learned at a young age a nice body doesn’t instantly mean great in bed...

I’m a pretty blunt guy always have been, never judged anyone by their politics, but if you thought you needed to tell me your political affiliations in the first few minutes of meeting me, even if they matched my own, always was a turn off.

Of course back when I was young and single decades ago, far fewer people put so much emphasis on their political affiliation, so it wasn’t something that would typically happen so you knew if it did they were off.

I still bekieve that to this day... yes I know where I stand politically and if you want to talk politics I’ll happily do so, but if you define so much of your identity as a human being on your political beliefs that you feel you need to announce it right out of the gate, you are a person who has their priorities out or whack, and if you place so much importance on your politics that it’s one of the first things you identify yourself as, the. The things that really should matter are being pushed down the stack and you have issues.

And that’s whether your politics are left or right.

Agreed. It’s an insecurity and a scary one. To have your identity defined by your political affiliation

Live in the 3rd District? This St Patty’s Day make sure you get out and vote for Mike Fricilone fighting to prevent a candidate who actually claims to be a Nazi and probably put up by the Dems to embarass the GOP. http://www.mikefricilone.com

“She never left the next morning. 11 a.m. came and 12 p.m. came and 1 p.m. came and 2 p.m. came.”

Bro, you broke one of the cardinal rules...if you plan to hit it and quit it you never EVER let them know where you live. EVER!
If she knows where you live she can make your life Hell if she’s vindictive.
Always go to Her place.
Shes more comfortable at her place so the sex is better there. The added bonus is you can leave while she is sleeping and she doesn’t know until she wakes up.

Another rule is never troll for strange in home waters. You city types should go to the other side of town when trolling. Say you live on the East side. North, south and west are acceptable trolling waters.
Us country types go to the next town. If two towns are of equal distance then alternate.

The Book of BroHood is your friend.
Learn it.
Live it.

Fake news. Not factual. According to the Democratic email I got yesterday, Tulsi Gabbard is still in the race.

This is why Warren and the Warren supporters don’t win. They lie, mostly because they have a blind spot and do not see reality.

Picking up easy lib chicks is not hard; getting past the 3 week fling phase (all raw dog) is, but by then, who cares?
