"Professor Warren"

Elizabeth Warren ran against then Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts and kicked his ass into the gutter where he belonged.

During that race, Brown was enough of an idiot to consistently refer to her as "Professor Warren." I guess he thought that people in Mass. would sneer at a woman who was educated, brilliant, and who "didn't know her place." Big mistake. He's now history.

However, this happened in Mass. Would it work countrywide? If she were to win the nomination and Trump started attacking her as "Professor Warren," with all the implications that Brown thought went with it, would it work countrywide? I don't know. But I don't have much confidence in the average intelligence of American voters.

Right now, I'm still undecided. But I'm leaning heavily toward this wonderful, brilliant woman as our nominee.

1. I think she'd kick his ass. I think that's true for at least a half dozen candidates.

Trump fatigue will only get stronger. And if we go into a recession, it'll be a landslide.

Would be great karma for Trump to be bookended by a brilliant African-American President and a brilliant female President.

here on earth one it would just be a reminder of how stupid he is.

the base might like it, and i agree, it is hard to go wrong counting on the murikan people to be stupid.
but i think anything related to smart only makes him looks worse.

She is completely opposite of tRump and all those people who say she ‘cant Beat him” are listening to Faux News.

She can beat him and I beginning to believe she WILL.

11. Scott Brown originated the Pochantos slur as well. It ended up ruining his nice guy image.
Sat Aug 24, 2019, 05:43 PM

He was very,very popular (considered a nice guy, even called Senator McDreamy) until both the "Professor" and "Pocohantas" shaming
became tiresome, ugly. petty...and resoundingly backfired. He simply had nothing else in his arsenal to combat Warren's wisdom, cheerful resolve, and impeccable reputation of fighting for the working/middle class. Brown ended up looking like a clueless nitwit.
So will Trump. Name calling and labeling does not work on Elizabeth Warren. In fact it's the most self destructive act any opponent against her can pull

12. Trump and the Russian crime syndicate will attack our candidates relentlessly.

There is no "safe" candidate. The criminals succeeded in painting squeaky clean, sensible shoe wearing Hillary Clinton as a some kind of evil genius cyber-criminal guilty of crimes against humanity. President Obama, in their representation, is a foreign-born stealth Muslim who destroyed the USA. His wife was portrayed as some kind of slut because... bare arms... while Melania, who actually posed for soft-porn photos, is portrayed as a paragon of virtue.

There is no reasoning with foolish people.

Her childhood and adolescence was very much like the childhoods of hundreds of thousands of midwestern woman and utterly unlike the spoiled, wealthy privileged childhood of no. 45.
