I know I felt some guilt about Hillary but we gave her a solid chance. Now we choose our next candidate and it has nothing to do with Trump supporters.
Its a mixture of hatred of her spewed by Trump as well, and his non stop racist comments directed towards her seems to energize them.

Great comparison.

Palin - Governor of Alaska for 2 years. Moose shooter. Reality show host.
Warren - Harvard Law professor, U.S. Senator of Massachusetts for 4 years

Well, they are both grandmothers and wear glasses. So maybe you have a point.

I think the point was that both are extremist partisan hacks.

White people making fun of a white woman who pretended to be an Indian in order to get preferential treatment is racism?

I believe it. I expect any candidate we nominate will get insulted by Trump so whatever he says is expected. After four years of his constant childish insults, the country will be so used it it it will be eye-rolling. Just like Trump's 3 a.m. tweets. The country is already sick of them and it's only been three months.

I look forward to Democrats shopping for our next nominee. I hope we take 18 months doing it with lots of news coverage. I hope we have thoughtful debates among the candidates that Trump can call elitist. And Warren is more than welcome to toss her hat in the ring.

Democrats, "So who are we going to pick in order to scream bias? Should we find a gay man so we can scream homophobe? Should we get a woman so we can continue screaming misogyny? Maybe we can find a Muslim so we can scream religious intolerance. It's so tough picking a candidate based on how we can spin intolerance."

This is the part where Trump supporters aren't invited. We get to spend a couple of years choosing a candidate that can be any one we want. While it would be entertaining to choose Mark Cuban just because it would annoy Trump to no end, we will probably choose someone well versed in policy. But it's our choice and Trump supporters have not part in it. Warren may participate, I'm just not convinced she would get the nomination.

One can only hope, that would be an incredibly horrible place to put this country in to have her as one of the main candidates to pick from.

Since I don't support Trump, that must mean I'm invited.

I think y'all should really think outside the box and go with a little person.

They're threatened by her because she poses a major threat. She can actually energize her party unlike Shillary Clinton.
