Campaign Action
Today’s stupidest idea:
Did McConnell Put Warren Right Where He Wants Her?
Senate GOP boss elevates left‘s hero, maybe because she‘s not strongest 2020 Democratic option
Elizabeth Warren has made zero indication that she’s interested in running for president. Quite the opposite, in fact.
And is this anything like Barack Obama manipulating Donald Trump into running for president by mocking him publicly, because maybe he wasn’t the strongest 2016 Republican option?
So let’s stop pretending that this is some grander strategy beyond “shutting that bitch up,” or like Republican asshole Lindsey Graham said, “The bottom line is, [shutting her up] was long overdue with her.” Republican senators hate her. She is a thorn on their side. The fact that she is a woman makes them even angrier. Remember: Sens. Tom Udall, Jeff Merkeley, and Bernie Sanders all read the same letter from Coretta Scott King on the floor of the Senate, and how many of those guys were silenced? Zero. The answer is zero.
They simply hate Warren. It’s that simple.
