WARREN- One Last Story

ELIZABETH WARREN ends call with campaign staff with this story:

One last story. One last story. When I voted yesterday at the elementary school down the street, a mom came up to me. And she said she has two small children, and they have a nightly ritual. After the kids have brushed teeth and read books and gotten that last sip of water and done all the other bedtime routines, they do one last thing before the two little ones go to sleep. Mama leans over them and whispers, “Dream big.” And the children together reply, “Fight hard.”

Our work continues, the fight goes on and big dreams never die.

Warren is a great person. I really think that she should have done a lot better in the Primaries than she did. She was always in my top three. I honestly would have preferred her over Biden. I like Joe, but I am seriously concerned about his age and his mental state.

I am not being ageist. You can be a candidate of advanced years like Biden, Warren, or Bernie. As long as you have the physical stamina and mental acuity to run the campaign and be fit for the office of President. Anyway, I will back Joe if and when he gets the nomination, but I will mourn Warren's loss a bit. What could have been.

Please don't repeat republican talking points. His mental state was first questioned by Tucker Carlson and then amplified by other Faux shows.

Biden has a stuttering problem - which is not a mental acuity issue.

sauce in some posts and articles about matters that supposedly took Warren down- the old Native American story which she apologized for; her seeming inability to confront Trump and how she looks 'thin and frail,' and her early stances and responses on health care in the debates doomed her, etc.

It's disturbing to see this nation lose one of the best candidates we've had in decades. Baffling.
