Depending on the Republican candidate, NY, OR and WA for starters. I am not sure about some of the others, of course it will be a cold day in Hell before CA goes red again. There are a few of the very small states on that list that could be come toss up with her on the ballot.

Mixed signal? No, it's a clear signal that her policies inspire strong opinions among people who are either (A) In finance, or (B) think finance needs to be regulated.

I might add, what makes you think, just because you like her far left views and don't care about her getting special consideration because she claimed she was an American Indian which turned out to be quite a stretch,
(A) I don't consider her views far-left
(B) I don't know what "Special Consideration" you're talking about

Quote:

if you say so.
im not sure what's she's claimed, but whatever it is, why is it important?

Quote:
what makes you think .... she is that well known and/or would be accepted outside say the New England region?
well for one because she's not from New England, and two, she's well-known. She became well-known for a video on Youtube called "The Coming collapse of the middle class", which was a speech she made in the Summer of 2007, a full year before the credit crisis, and well before the financial crisis had become common knowledge.

Do you have any statistics showing how her appeal?
Do I have statistics showing her how appeal what ?

why is it important? You can't be serious!!! You say her appeal is nationwide, where are you getting this? You may not consider her views far left, that is your opinion, many others would differ with you. For those on the left, perhaps not, for those in the middle and many independents they may find her way too far out for them. Aspiring opinions and strong appeal are not the same thing.

Warren would never be the Democratic nominee. Wall Street and other big money sources would make sure a well funded candidate outlasts and defeats her in a primary race.

i haven't seen you say anything that suggests you're serious, either.

observation. Why, where do you get your view that her appeal isn't nationwide? If you have statistics, I'd be glad to see them. If you don't, then why do you expect me to provide them?

Be that as it may, I can't be bothered with ignorant people who are incapable of explaining her positions on various issues. Some people on the far-right obviously feel threatened by her intellect, so they change the subject away from actual policy.

"Aspiring opinions" is not a phrase that has meaning to me.

You have your opinion, I did ask for examples of her appeal nationwide, you didn't give it. So be it, you do not think she is radical or claiming to be what she isn't is anything to be concerned about, I happen to disagree. What I would never do and I am shocked you reverted to it, is call anyone ignorant. Many of us do disagree on here, that is why city data can be fun and educational, but there is no way to debate when someone starts personally attacking another poster.

differing opinions aren't the issue here; information asymmetry is the issue. i cannot be blamed for pointing out ignorance.

there are people out there who genuinely don't know very much on the topics they choose to talk about, and that is not simply a matter of differing opinions.

She's smart and determined. Show the following two videos to any centrist/independent and see if they at least are not impressed (even if they don't agree with her). She has a huge following on the Left; even if she has no Presidential or VP aspirations, she will be a major force in the DMC for the foreseeable future.

Say what?? Come on Nita, we may disagree on most things, but you are smarter that that.
