She is inspirational. Her style is completely different from President Obama of course. But she has a similar call to action and tremendous charisma of her own and she brought tears to my eyes.

is if she's tough enough to stand toe to toe with His Assholiness, Donald Trump. The man has absolutely no morals, no hesitation whatsoever to viciously lie and attack without mercy, and no sense of decency to reign him in whatsoever. He's brutal, and I really don't know if she can handle it. Our eventual candidate cannot buckle under the far-right's pressure, and Trump's in particular. I hope to have that trepidation assuaged in the next few months by her actions. She's a good hearted woman, and women are Trump's favorite to eviscerate verbally.

She will eviscerate him while simultaneously evoking a more down to earth America

More worried about the frantic flood of dark money that will come from panicked greedy 0.1%.

That's my worry. Can she withstand a full-frontal attack by the most horrible being on the planet? Trump and the GOP will stop at nothing to win. They are pure evil. I worry about that for whoever winds up being our democratic candidate, but Warren seems more susceptible than the other two top-tier candidates. Is she tough enough? Hillary was tough enough, and look what they did to her.

She hasn't really been tested face to face with anyone, even in the debates. And if you think 'Pocohontas' was the toughest thing they could possibly throw at her........well, that's being overly optimistic in my opinion. Soon we'll be up against the GOP, the meanest, nastiest, most dishonest and criminal organization on the planet. And no, I haven't seen her rattled, but she hasn't been tested at all! Sorry, I'm going to have to wait and see. I've changed to 'undecided' because it doesn't look like Kamala Harris is gaining any traction. In fact, she's losing traction, but she is a tough woman, and I need to see that from Warren before I toss my hat - and money - her way. Of course I'll support her to the nth degree should she become our eventual candidate. Trump has to go.

I just wish that Hillary had unleashed Senator Warren on Trump a lot more.

I have no concerns about her toughness. She won't attack fellow democrats, but with Trump, I totally expect that she will take off the gloves.
