Elizabeth Warren to launch exploratory committee, a major step in a possible 2020 run
- Thread starter zzz
- Start date
DOA. Probably the worst candidate of the lot which public knows about. The DNA test is just an example.
Once the kinds of Beto, Harris, Biden enter the ring it's over

Agreed, this is who you pick if you want Trump to breeze through reelection.
I doubt she's going to resonate with the public at large but, as a boring white guy who hates banks, god do I love me some Warren.
I think she'll do better than people here seem to think... if she can manage to make inroads with the Rust Belt. I think she's a little too "academic" compared to Sanders and Biden even if her rhetoric should do well there.

I feel like it is good that she is in the primary, as she will help drag it to the left more. However, I also think we will be absolutely screwed if she gets the nomination.
I don't especially like her brand of charisma, so I am biased against her in that regard. Something about her grates on me although I fully believe she has our best interests at heart. Her policies are typically great, too. But, man, I don't know. I don't like her. Haha.
I would vote for her in the GE without question, though.

I don't even dislike her but the way she got played by Trump is a MASSIVE red flag.
Totally agree with that, too. How the hell do you get got like that. How is there no one around her who thought about what that might look like? Needed more dissenting opinions in her closest orbit.
I don't understand, why does that one mistake she made with the DNA test completely make her unviable or DOA?
Almost every other candidate has made a major mistake in the past, probably except Beto but I would have to research. Why does this one thing sink Warren but everyone else's mistakes are glossed over?

It's one mistake dealing directly with Trump. The guy is an idiot, it looks very bad.
I like her but can't help but agree with the dim projections. They're gonna try to revive the "nevertheless she persisted" stuff I guess
One mistake does kill you in elections. See Howard Dean Scream or Dukakis Tank helmet.
I didn't see any other potential candidate make a mistake like that against Trump. Honestly, all the other potentials have handled Trump really well so far, imo. I could be forgetting one somewhere, though.
Well it's not so much taking him on that was the worst mistake, though yeah it's stupid to do it because it's like Trump's whole shtick and hes good at insults so you don't let him bait you. But, it's another thing to lose to him so badly especially considering we all KNOW he's a moron.
She got played by Trump. How do you expect her to fare against a GOP politician that's actually competant?
That's the main reason I'm not excited about her anymore, especially when there are so many other options available.
She shouldn't have entertained that "Pocahantas" shit at all. Trump is going to say FAR worse if she actually wins the nomination, and I don't see her handling it well.
I'm caucusing for Kamala as it stands right now. So don't try to paint the word misogynist over it. I also caucused and absolutely loved Hillary in 2016.
Shrug. She can throw her bid in if she wants. I like her plenty. But, I don't think she'll win, she's not a strong candidate verse Trump, she's already shown this.
She'd get eaten alive by Trump and galvanize his base. I say it all the time here but no one believes me, she is remarkably unpopular in Massachusetts considering how easily she won re-election. Many liberals are meh and Massachusetts republicans can't stand her.
We're gonna have at least 6 solid candidates going into the primaries so I think we can expect at least 75% of people in any given topic to dislike whichever politician is the subject of the thread.
On the bright side we only have a year and a half left of primary season!

She's probably not going this to win it, or at least I hope not. Get a cabinet position, compete with Bernie's voting bloc to get him to quit earlier in the primaries. She's too damaged by scandals, like the DNA test, to succeed.
