“Nevertheless, she persisted.” A reference to ELIZABETH WARREN. When she tried to read into the record a 30-year-old letter from CORETTA SCOTT KING, Senate Majority Leader Mitch “Turtle” McConnell objected. Warren persisted. Turtle said, “She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.” And then he ordered Warren to be removed from the chamber.
Far and away my first choice for 2020 will be Elizabeth Warren. I had hoped she would run for 2016 and was so disappointed that she didn’t. As an actual Democrat, I believe she would have won the primary and the general if she had.
I have (and have actually read) both of her last two books. She is enormously intelligent, more than all others put together, is fiercely loyal to working people, cannot be bought by corporate money, has stood up to the banks and Wall $treet elitists more aggressively than anyone else ever has (calling for prison sentences for those who profited by collapsing the markets in 2008 and specifically the top officers at Wells Fargo) and knows the minutiae and most arcane technical details of the financial sector better than anyone (taught financial law at Harvard). She has the most specific policy proposals (2% wealth tax, universal childcare and supports AOC’s return to the 70% top marginal rate and Green New Deal).
Warren can articulate a message and stick with it. In my 48 years as a registered voter (never failing to vote), I have never been more energized by a candidate (or potential candidate).
One of the most important things, to me, is that she is admired by both Bernie and Hillary wings of the party and is the one person that could unify the current rift in the Democratic Party.
And who is Trump most threatened by? Have you ever seen Trump tweet an attack against Joe Biden? Kamala Harris? Bernie Sanders (who I supported in the 2016 primary)? No! He feels most threatened by Elizabeth Warren.
