I think no, for several reasons:
I don’t think they would sabotage Warren because if (when) Biden gets the nod, she will be his running mate. He will most likely serve one term and assuming he doesn’t blow up the world, she’s the first female president.
Look who was elected president.
Also, I think it’s beating a dead horse at this point to babble about Pocahontas. Trump will need some new material. If all you have is one trick, you have no trick.
Well…it looks like Warren may be exaggerating another event in her Life; that she was “shown the door” early in her teaching career when it was found out she was pregnant.
Now…it was the early seventies. And rest assured that plenty of women unceremoniously were fired from jobs for pregnancy (before the laws changed). The problem is that it appears that Warren was not one of them. In fact; it appears that her job was there for her when she decided to come back after taking time off from her pregnancy.
At least she learned from the native American thing to not make statements that can be proven to be false.
Progress?
She can swill beer. She’s just like us! I’m on board.
Trump eats his meat well done. Worst thing about him.
I’m waiting for her to put out a rap video. Cuz, ya know, she raps all the time. Just bipity bopping along rippity rapin away, just like everybody else.
And there is my sticking point. I expected all kinds of stupid. I was looking forward to it.
But this? Nope.
I’ve said it on here before, but my dad had a Trump steak once.
He still bitches about the Walmart esque quality. Dude holds some weird grudges
Yeah…there were a few “WTF’'s”??? from some people who were there at the same time.
If a pregnant woman is going to be forced out, even back then when it was legal, its very believable that it would have been behind closed doors.
If I had made Warren’s statement, my response to the WTF people would be “oh that’s cute. You think everyone talks about this stuff at the water-cooler. I remember my first job”
People who ruin a good cut of steak by turning it into shoe leather should be fired into the sun.
That is essentially how she is responding…the she stands by her statement.
The problem that Warren has is that she also tried to double down on her Native American background. She eventually just had to leave it alone and let it pass.
Probably best to approach this the same way.
A key distinction here is the inability of anyone on the planet being able to refute her statement.
10:1 odds says she won’t. This feels (to me) like she’s trying to scoop up Bernie’s market share of voters. Bernie was big on the discrepancy between maternal leave here and in other developed countries.
Which is bipartisan gold, fwiw. Super easy to paint the picture of a woman wanting 3 months with her new baby, to only take 4 weeks because that’s all she could afford.
Not sure it being sarcastic, well it’s you, so l am sure :7)
She had interview refuting her own story plus as @Mufasa said, there is on internet a copy of offered contract (she turned down) to return to teach. As opposed to being given the boot.
She also playing up father ended up being a janitor. Harder to follow, but seems to be another false populist narrative. Not a huge deal, but part of a pattern. And l won’t respond to what about Trump… because while true in cases, it is a derail here.
Naw…no “What about Trump” from me, @Treco…
Trump is a helluva lot better liar and exaggerator than Warren could ever even dream to be.
Need an icon for belly laugh👍
Do you have a link?
Easiest spin of her life. Also impossible to refute spin.
“Why would I go back to a job that just pressured me out behind closed doors.”
And it’s a super easy narrative. It’s not like it’ll be difficult to find equivalent stories in the histories of voters
I tell you what:
When Trump and the Conservative Machine really decide to unleash on Biden, Warren and perhaps Bernie; we all better be looking for a good Bomb Shelter.
Dude is asking a foreign country to dig up dirt on Biden (presumably, logically, because he’s unable to on his own).
What makes you think they don’t already have the pedal to the floor? Why wouldn’t they? They were already way into gear at this point last election season.
Imo it super interesting to watch the GOP run against people without massive HRC esque baggage. They’ve always been the party of fear based motivation, but that kinda falls apart when you don’t have HRC level dirt to dig up
I know you’ve seen negative campaigning before, @pfury.
This ain’t it.
What is happening so far is just warming up for what is to come.
Trump/Conservative fundraising is 10x higher than that of the DEMS, with the majority of those funds being cash that is untouched.
