Look at Mr. Fancy Pants here who grew up with something to use for all four bases! Must have been nice to grow up spoiled...

This is the correct take. 

A rich guy buying cheap foreign crap rather than American made clothing, yet at the same time decrying international trade. What a hero.

Gore and Kerry were both un-charismatic policy wonks, and called so throughout their respective losing campaigns. Meanwhile left-field candidates like Clinton and Obama shot in and won elections due in no small part to charisma. It’s not an illegitimate concern.

You’re not an intelligent person and nobody values anything you have to say.

So they purposely hand picked a group of female misogynists (because who else would vote for Trump?) and allowed them to say misogynist and sexist things in an effort to make Warren look unelectable.

Read their Wikipedia bios. John Forbes Kerry WAS a child of the elite.

Perhaps “uppity” is a better word for Elizabeth?

If she can go from where she was a year ago to winning the Democratic primary she’s electable. 

Michigan elected an all-female, democratic ticket in 2018. A democratic woman flipped a Michigan Congressional seat that had been a safe Republican district for decades. 2020 is a very different ball game from 2016: I don’t think being a woman is as big of a liability as you think.

Personally, I think her “wonkishness” is one of her best qualities. It’s al well and good to have ideas, but you’re going to need someone with political skills to make them a reality.

The title of this piece implies that Warren’s the one with the problem.

Elizabeth Warren is from a working class background. She did what most concertivative types say to be and pulled herself up by her bootstraps. I’m not really sure she why she considered bad with working class whites. She seems to be able to discuss her economic plan with them at least.

I am currently living with my hyper-conservative parents. It has been an eye opening experience as I now need to suffer through Fox news on the daily (rot in hell, Tucker Carlson.) Certain patterns have become evident to me in the few weeks I’ve watched. Fox news ignores the things that really scare them. They can…

The two “moments” you’ve just raised there don’t have anything to do with charisma or eliteness, so er... ? Is it just that you didn’t like that she did that? Fine, neither did most of us, but we’ve moved on and the issue seems to have rightly died. Even orange asshole has acknowledged that.

Totally agree. Reminds me of the idea that people would vote for Bush the Lesser because they “could have a beer with him” - I don’t want a president I’m comfortable having a beer with.  I want a president so intelligent, with such a grasp of the issues, that I’m terrified I’ll say something stupid in their presence…

“I like what she had to say, but I still think she’s—sorry—a bitch,” said a 56-year-old Trump supporter.

Obama’s first campaign was considered legendary, brilliant, by just about everybody in politics, and instead of it being any kind of new standard the Old White Male Brigade is naturally trying to pretend it was a freak occurrence, like a double rainbow, because if they don’t they’ll actually have to put work and…

Love your screen name!  But about Gore, who else do you feel should’ve been the nominee?  He won the popular vote and would’ve won Florida if not for that awful butterfly ballot in Palm Beach (and if the Supreme Court had allowed all votes to be recounted.)

I wish we would shut the fuck up about white working class voters. They’re a lost cause and hell bent on voting against their own self-interest. We’ve had two Democratic Presidents when two consecutive terms without them, yet we’re obsessed with courting those five living Reagan Democrats. Those people will never vote…

You know who else wasn’t ‘electable’ according to the media?
