Let's play a game about responding to GOP attacks.

Say your favorite candidate gets the Dem nomination.
What is the main branding the GOP will try to use against them and what would be your response if you were working for our nominee ?

I’ll go first using Warren.

GOP - “Elizabeth Warren has proven herself to be a socialist who is willing to bankrupt our country. Her irresponsible proposals and ideas to redistribute America’s wealth are all fantasy land. This is a woman who was willing to make up a fake family heritage to try to advance her career. She would be a disaster for this country on so many levels.”

(So, their attack is to label her the “Socialist Pocahontas”).

Our response - “ During her time as a College Professor and a U.S.Senator, Elizabeth Warren has always been interested in finding answers to our country’s problems. And not only the problems, but the best solutions. As a proponent of Capitalism with the appropriate amount of regulations and safeguards, she has developed well thought out plans and ways to pay for them. She believes in everyone in this country getting a fair and equal chance at being successful. That’s why growing up with her family in Oklahoma she was proud of a very small, but important, amount of Native American blood that she and her four military brothers shared. And, it’s with that same spirit of courage and bravery that our earliest Americans showed that sparks the passion in Elizabeth to make our brightest days ahead of us for all of the American people”.

You don’t have to write as much as I did.
Just say how you think your candidate will be attacked and should respond.

primary today, I would vote for:
