She knows policy, she can connect personally, and she is able to position herself as a “competent outsider”. One big advantage she has is the ability to say Trump was right about some things (like abandoning American workers) but that Trump doesn’t walk the walk on populism.

Was honestly so caught off-guard that I couldn’t do anything but sit there & try not to cry until she was done “coaching” me. With 10 years’ perspective, yeah -- it was sabotage.

She’s from Oklahoma, and went to college in Texas. Simply teaching at Harvard for a few years, and moving to the east coast doesn’t erase that. Calling her an east coast academic is how the right wing attempts to cast her as an outsider to the very places she came from. Let’s not fall into the habit of using their talk…

Wow! Yet another big storm heading to Puerto Rico. Will it ever end? Congress approved 92 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico last year, an all time record of its kind for “anywhere.”

I just attended her townhall in Seattle and I have to say, she had charisma in spades. I really hope she’s our next president.

“I get tired of the ‘she speaks but doesn’t act.’”

“Critics find her...” is code for a rhetorical construct created by those who fear her very strength. Warren doesn’t lack charisma; to the contrary, she’s got it in abundance, and that’s precisely why this canard is repeated constantly - to convince people that they’re not seeing the very qualities they are seeing.

I MEAN CLEARLY SHE’S OFF-PUTTING SHE DOESN’T HAVE A PENIS AND IS SPEAKING IN PUBLIC.

“Have I lost some votes because of my decision to support Justice Kavanaugh? Yes, I have. And I’m sad about that because I explained in great depth my decision-making,” Collins said. But “there still is an appreciation in Maine for someone who looks at the facts of an issue, votes with integrity and independence.”

Why would this necessarily stop at unmarried women? I know there are people out there that believe that mothers should not work outside the home, and I am sure they could invent some religious reason behind it. Hell you could probably keep expanding this. Married women need to get their husbands permission to work.…

Thank you for this article. It brings to mind Sinead O’Connor’s public outcry over what was happening in Ireland and abuse - and now we know deaths- of thousands of newborns and wee children right in front of the so called blind eyes of the government in collusion with the Catholic Church.

No, it’s not that crazy of an idea, but it’s much more straightforward that he simply couldn’t stand the thought of being a convicted child rapist in gen pop for the rest of his life.

I keep reminding myself that he repeatedly fails at getting the nomination when he runs. The longer he keeps on doing his Biden thing, the higher the likelihood that the Obama glow wears off.

Warren’s steady rise in the polls is giving me hope.

Personally, when I decide who I am going to vote for, I shut out everything except Jezebel articles that came out 15 months before the election. So you’re definitely onto something and not at all acting like a caricature of a centrist boomer with a head full of conventional wisdom they’ve never examined.

I’m on the fence about him as well, but there are moments where he does really cut through the bullshit in a way that few politicians can.

In my house growing up, swearing was seen as a healthy way to vent feelings of frustration. Swearing at someone (unless clearly joking) was a no-no. Swearing about the state of things in general was (is) fair game. I can’t think of any more appropriate reason to be swearing right now.

For him the education never took. She knows some actual words, unlike her father. She just puts them together in the most insipid, lifeless way possible.

I’ve said this before, but I’m convinced that Ivanka Trump is a sociopath who tries to fit her personality to suit the situation. She’ll become whomever she feels her audience want her to be. All her communications seem calculated and contrived as if she’s trying to project a certain image. But it all just come across…
