Kennedy stumps for Warren, even as he targets her ally

[TexasTowelie]

Rep. Joe Kennedy III wants Elizabeth Warren to be president. She’s backing his would-be opponent in the Massachusetts Senate race.

That did little to dissuade Kennedy from crossing state lines Thursday to campaign in New Hampshire for Warren, whom he has known since he was her student at Harvard Law School. Kennedy, the scion of one of America’s most prominent political families, lavished praise on Warren and touted their personal history during stops at her campaign offices.

Hanging over the visit, however, were questions about whether Kennedy will challenge Warren’s fellow Massachusetts senator, Ed Markey, in the state’s Democratic primary. The move could spark an intraparty firestorm in one of the nation’s most reliably Democratic states, with Warren at the center.

Kennedy tamped down the inherent awkwardness of the political triangle between him, Warren and Markey during his campaign stops in New Hampshire.

1. Warren's Republican past is going to be a plus in the GE.

Ala -"she changed her mind, I can too"

3. I agree. She has been a robust liberal, but that she was once a chamber of commerce republican

will resonate in my part of Florida that has lots of that type of republican.

4. Warren's core message is that everyone must play by the rules

The problem with Washington is corruption, the problem with business is fraud and back in the day, a mother on the minimum wage could save her house and family, if she tried hard enough. This will resonate way beyond hard core liberals, IMO.

2. Hasn't he come out and said that he has no interest in challenging Markey.

Why keep bringing this up?
