Hm, there aren't any really powerful women among Republicans, are there? Elizabeth Dole was an anomaly, for instance.
Warren isn't liked because she's a pathetic liar, not because she's allegedly got a vagina.

I'll leave it at allegedly. I don't need any proof.

Well, there's sandwiches in the kitchen needing made if it's too much of a drag being a woman out in the real world. Otherwise get a helmet and deal with it.

Everyone who runs for president knows they will be bashed mercilessly (except Trump who believes everyone should kiss his backside).

Warren knows what she's getting into. I think she's misjudged her standing with the Dems, but there will be a pack of people running on both sides of the aisle and in the middle--she's one of them. What Warren has going for her is that she truly dislikes the swamp-like atmosphere that Trump has continued to foster. Face it--Trump did nothing to drain the swamp--he added to it. So Warren's dislike of the banks, lobbyists, corporate greed and oligarchs is a good thing for her. It's real and authentic, at least--not just a dog whistle.

Trump is totally and absolutely unlikeable--I cannot think of any people who have said they like him ever in New York, and I know some in Palm Beach who know him--they think he's not very bright. What's to like? Nobody likes the guy--including those republicans pretending that they do in order to avoid mean tweets and having their cellphone numbers published by Trump, the child. I don't think Melania even likes him--but loves his money. The kids act like Stepford people with Stockholm Syndrome--not even sure they actually like him. Maybe Jared likes him--he'd have no job without him.

Democrats are guaranteed to lose if Warren runs against Trump. Hillary 2.0.

A lot of conservatives hate her which will motivate them to vote, tand Trump will tear her apart.

Democrats, don't be stupid.

Why are Democrat women all horror shows of unlikability? Is it anger? Envy? Poor looks? Men hating issues? Men issues? Men don't like them issues? White guilt? Black entitlement? White, Black Men issues? What is it?

I guarantee you she will not be the Dem candidate--she doesn't have the support. Just not popular enough. I'm hoping the Sanders crowd doesn't freak out--but it is not going to be Bernie either. Nobody is going to elect someone who would be 79 when elected. No way he could do two terms. And why would we want an 80 year-old president? Same for Biden. Time for someone new. It will become more clear after debates and primaries. We may not know until 2020 who the candidate will be. Everyone is just too anxious to rush it--doesn't happen that way.
