Some how it just seems beneath her. Attack the issues and policies, not the person, no name calling.
I would now like some kabobs. Please assist. Thank you.
She is very bad at this. It just ends up sounding like your grandparents trying to drop sick facebook burns on people.
You might have a point, which is why Warren is not the right choice for VP.
If she attacks from the sidelines, her name-calling is within the norm. If she does that as VP candidate, the press may rake her over the coals.

I disagree. Sheās incredibly effective because she sends Trump into a frothing rage. Sheās not really trying to discuss policyā¦sheās slapping around a thin skinned bully.

I still want Al Franken on the ticket, for reasons of policy, temperament and his comedic skills. He would make Trump a laughingstock effortlessly.

Massachusetts law requires a special election to be held on a Tuesday, no fewer than 145 days, nor more than 160 days from the date of office vacancy, on a date determined by the governor.
Warrenās term is up January 19, 2019, election for new senator will be November 2018. Somewhere between 5 and 6 months after Warren would leave the senate, there would be a special election held. Her replacement could take office early as April or May 2017 and remain until January 2019, and feel free to correct my math if Iām missing something. This concerns me .
Nevertheless the arguments for putting her on the ticket remain compelling,

Yea Iām not really sure how it would or wouldnāt help in a campaign, itās just my personal preference not to name call and, at least by the title of this article, it seems a bit like name calling. I might totally agree with the nameās she using, but I just prefer in my own personally dealings not to name call or even rub peopleās noses in their mistakes. Seem like you can just point out the flaws in someoneās proposals and let others draw their own conclusions about the persons personality flaws.
I believe thatās exactly the plan. What they are doing now, even Hillaryās speech the other day included, is just a warm-up exercise, but effects of a full-body workout depends on it. At this point, itās all about setting it up ā they focus on framing and defining him (unstable, thin-skinned, fraudulent, etc). After that being established, after his nomination being official, get his shady business transactions and personal life out in full displayā¦ people process those facts to fit the frame thus set up, and keep confirming it every time Trump spews garbage in his attempt to defend himselfā¦

I think the tack Warren takes with Trump is actually ideal because his entire public persona is built around the idea of his greatness and that he is a winner. He absolutely cannot be mocked. It just shoots holes in who he is. Other candidates can just shrug off name calling like that because itās just noise. Trump simply canāt. It challenges the basic core of his candidacy, which is that his force of personality and will is going to force compliance with his policies. He has to vanquish and itās not enough that he wins, the other person has to lose. Itās a combative scenario and the other side, in this case Warren, being so unintimidated as to mock himā¦that canāt go without angry response, which highlights his feet of clay. Heās a bully and heās not nearly as amazing as he projects. Just wait til people start going after his financial numbers. Heās going to lose his shit.

His personality is his policy. His claims are based on the fact that his sheer presence and force of will is going to make other countries change policies in ways that are to our advantage and to their detriment. He HAS to be intimidating and by mocking him and showing a complete lack of fear, it shows the fraudulence of his entire premise. If he canāt bully a little old lady like Elizabeth Warren, what hope does he have to strong arm Vlad Putin?

I think there was a phase in this saga where at least a segment of the punditocracy and public learned the wrong lesson. In the beginning, everyone said Trump wouldnāt run, and if he did heād go nowhere because he is, by universal agreement, a clown. Then the SOB runs, whattaya know, and damn if he doesnāt start winning and then damn if he doesnāt keep winning. So suddenly heās Godzilla the unstoppable radioactive monster whoās actually pretty good at this! Except thatās not true either. Heās just Donald, the clown who was lucky enough to connect with his new audience, the GOP base. Heās still a clown. Say and demonstrate that enough and Tokyo will be spared.

And heās a progressive which should help soothe the blow for Sanders supporters, even though he always has been a Clinton supporter. His state is governed by a Democrat, so weāll be very likely to keep the seat. Heās very well liked in the caucus because heās low profile and works like a mule. He isnāt the type that steals other Senatorsā thunder. Heās my longshot candidate.
