I haven't heard anything more about the Seattle crowd, but I have heard that some are now estimating the Minnesota crowd to be less than half the 12,000 estimate.

Warren is a talented politician, no doubt. She knows how to push buttons, and can tailor her message to almost any audience. But the message she's selling is, at it's core, just so distasteful. Here she explains to an 11-year-old Canadian how terrible, mean and racist the president of the United States is:

She will certainly generate enthusiasm and make a strong run at the Dem nomination. But there's just no way for her to win a general election. It's inconceivable.

She will be the designated loser in 2020.

I couldn't vote for Trump the first time around or Hillary. So I voted for the Libertarian candidate. I won't be surprised if I have to do it again in 2020.

Democrats love lazy overpaid government workers!
Instead of complaining about them, why not join them? Federal government jobs may be unionized. You may get a pension plus a retirement savings account so you can double dip when you retire and triple dip when you start drawing Social Security.

My guess is the Democrat nominee will be Biden with Warren as vice president to get the female vote. Of course, Republicans are anxious to point out that Democrats have run a woman before for vice president and they lost quite decisively.

How are his days numbered? From acting too old and inept?

and she should know corruption

o you would vote for a person who lied about their ethic background, was called incompetent by Senator Dodd of the democrats, and is a self-confessed socialist who is bought and paid for by big corporations

she has been screwing the little guys for decades




she doesn't care about the middleclass or consumer protection..
if she did she would have made sure fannie/Freddie was in the dodd-frank bill

ELIZABETH WARREN SOLD OUT TO BIG INSURANCE AND FOUGHT AGAINST ASBESTOS VICTIMS.....“She’s Supposed To Be A Consumer Advocate?((((Elizabeth Warren denied that she had worked for Traveler’s Insurance, the nation’s largest insurance company, against asbestos victims....... documents, both the legal briefs Warren filed on behalf of Travelers, and Warren’s financial disclosures showing that she received over $212,000 for her work, tell a different story.)))))


Before retiring, then Senator Christopher J. Dodd (D-Conn.), co-author of the Dodd-Frank regulatory reform bill that created the consumer agency, urged Obama to put somebody else in the job—a vote of no confidence , even retired Senator Chriss Dodd thinks she is INCOMPETENT



so you could easily vote for a corporatist , liar, who is incompetent???, bet you voted for hitlery too
