unixknight Posted January 8, 2019 Report Share Posted January 8, 2019 The most striking thing about Senator Warren to me is that she doesn't seem to realize that very few people are taking her seriously these days. The very fact that she's even publicly talking about running demonstrates this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When dealing with the extreme left or right, your personal behavior doesn't matter. Hence why religious conservatives can idolize a guy like Donald Trump and why leftists can idolize a woman who lied about being native American, flipped houses for a huge profit, got paid 400,000 for 12 hour a week job, etc. Edited January 8, 2019 by MormonGator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is someone putting complete cluelessness on display. "I'm gonna have a beer to show how hip and cool I am. Want one, sweetie?"

Watching her try to appear blue collar and down with the middle class is comical. It's also foolish. The people who are her base don't drink Budweiser with the boys down at the bar. They are drinking Château d'Yquem at the Four Seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is her effort to try to appeal to a wider base, which is funny because it means this caricature is what she thinks of everybody outside Massachusetts.

It kinda reminds me of when Romney pointed to a little necklace a black girl had and asked,"So, is that you're bling?" HuhHH??? To his credit, he kinda figured it out later when he did the "howdy y'all" thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
