Elizabeth Warren 2020 campaign megathread

[Da2017]

She be a great president, but a bad candidate.Her and Cory Booker are, I think the easiest for Trump to beat.

[Da2017]

Does anyone find Warren to be focus group tested? Starting see that criticism on twitter. I don't think that's one of her issues. I think she will come across as a know it all. I have no problem with that myself.

[Da2017]

She's holding a news conference right now, which you can watch here:

Not seeing it. She looked nervous. She comes across as a boring monotone professor. I think she will be seen as the kid who knows all the answers,but you don't want to hang out with at recess. It's unfortunate how presidential races work.

[Da2017]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5UMfHnixzMA&feature=youtu.be&a= Trump has a point.

[Da2017]

If Warren is the nominee I think this will happen: She is a super weak candidate.

No. Trump is also polarizing. Trump and Hillary were both weak candidates. I do think Warren would be one of the weaker candidates. Warren should easily take Minnesota and hold most possibly all the Clinton States and maybe add a Trump State. It take someone like Andrew Cuomo,but that's a stretch. I don't the Dems will be as complacent. 

[Da2017]

Great message. Her delivery is off. Her smiles seem forced.

[Da2017]

Watched part of her town hall. I think she has moved up on my choices. I think she really does care average Joe. I still have concerns about her electability.

[Da2017]

The "Pocahontas" Incident is why Warren would be the worst general election candidate.  It shows Trump can easily bait her and get under her skin.  That isn't something the Dems need going into the general.

This is what keeps her from being in my top 3 choices.

I have to question her political instincts. I would not count on it costing her the nomination or from getting too far. She is already tainted unfortunately for the general election.

[Da2017]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPJlNHeDxrs&t=48s Here is the part where she is asked about her Native American heritage. I'm getting Hillary email vibes. She not off my top 5 but this should give some pause.

[Da2017]

It's more how she handled it. She should of just said Look I made a mistake let's move on. Instead she explained it. This is the mistake Hillary made with the emails. It's obvious she got rattled.

[Da2017]

She making a lot smart moves lately. I still don't think I want to roll the dice with her. She still has not found a way to handle her DNA debacle. I still think it be a mistake to nominate her. She is already tainted like Hillary. I'm worried we are making the same mistake.

[Da2017]

Oh, they won't. The most EW might do is possibly bring up Kamala's tough on crime past as a prosecuter, but that's only if they're the clear front-runners. And if that happens, KH might bring up Elizabeth's DNA, but only when talking about the importance of understanding the nuisances of race identity.

Right now they still need to eviscerate Biden & Bernie (and to a lesser extent, Buttigieg), and that hasn't happened yet (prob not til at least Oct).
They genuinely have a lot of respect for each other. From what I've heard behind the scenes, it's not like they're best friends in the Senate (Harris is much closer to Cortez-Masto, and Warren is close to Tammy Baldwin), but they recognize that each other would make a phenomenal president that they would be happy to serve for in some capacity.

EW was observing Kamala's debate skills even back when she was debating Loretta Sanchez though, tbh, that was also the moment that gave us this:

Warren would be rattled if Biden is any indication. Even charlemagne the god got her off balance.
