Midwestern women aren’t going to like her if propaganda successfully paints her as a liar whose shtick is always trying to position herself as a victim.
Hasn’t happened yet - won’t hang by the neck, waiting (that is, the jailing for sedition - it’s clear the militias will do whatever they are told).
Predictable as rain in Seattle… They’ll do this to everyone who achieves front-runner status.
And a section of the Democrats will be cheering for the candidate being taken out by the Republicans, because it’s not their candidate under attack.
Until it is.

Senate Intel lol…the GOP will busy itself doing the bare minimum to qualify as having done the right thing in the congressional record and then go out of its way to assist in the disinformation propaganda that blunts the impact thereof in terms of public knowledge and understanding of the issues.

I don’t know… this particular attack seems flimsy. And a lot of older women who are probably more inclined to believe this sort of thing remember what it was like in the 70s when you had a job and got pregnant. I don’t think this hurts Warren with anyone who would have conceivably voted for her

But I just went to the link, and the place is blowing up about how she obfuscates Indian heritage, lied about being pregnant, has no chance with “real” Americans, is crazy, is utterly progressive, is crazy, is a woman . . . actually . . . that she just plain is.

They have records showing her resignation and its acceptance “with regret”. What’s “flimsy” about that? That is all the toe-hold needed to convince vast swaths of the country that she’s lying about it, particularly those whose subconscious confirmation bias makes them WANT to believe that.

Different rules for Dems. Regardless, who’s paying attention amidst all the Trumpentropy™ and TrumpChaos™, except for political obsessives?

I doubt this takes hold. Right now the right wing is freaking out about it because Warren is next up after Biden, but this feels like one of those things that doesn’t sway anyone who has not already made up their mind

Whatever helps you sleep at night. The county vote to extend her contract by 2 years suggests differently.

I was hoping to read where the Trump Campaign was involved, but it was blacked out.

Well, you’re a wellspring of optimism. You have to leave space for good things to happen in your life.

That’s funny. I think just about everyone here at TPM already figured out in 2016 that Russia intervened to help Trump.
