January 14, 2017 Senators Warren, Harris, Booker planning their presidential runs By J. Marsolo Senator Elizabeth Warren hopes to be the first 1/32 Native American president. There is no documentary evidence that she is a 1/32 Native American, and shehas not taken a DNA test to confirm. But she is worried that Cory Booker got the jump on her when he started his 2020 campaign by attacking Jeff Sessions. Not to be outdone by Booker, Warren attacked Trump, the 2020 Republican nominee, through her smarmy questioning of Ben Carson, the HUD nominee. The premise of Warren's questioning of Carson is that Trump, and his family, may make money from HUD contracts. This is laughable and ludicrous on its face. Dr. Carson seemed surprised and shocked by this line of questioning. Carson had prepared for the policy issues, but evidently Carson and his team did not realize how low Warren would go. Welcome to the DC Democrat world, Dr. Carson. Warren asked the following "questions": My concern is whether, among the billions of dollars that you will be responsible for handing out, can you just assure us not one dollar will go to the benefit of the president-elect or his family? ...and... The problem is that you can't assure us that HUD money, not of $10 varieties, but of multimillion-dollar varieties, won't end up in the president-elect's pockets. And the reason you can't do that is that the president-elect is hiding his business interests from you, from me and the rest of America. The president-elect knows, and his family knows, what will benefit him, but the American people don't. Warren must believe that Trump wants to make money off HUD just las she used her unsubstantiated claim of Native Americana heritage for political and professional purposes. Warren represented herself as a minority law teacher and Native American law professor while employed at the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) Law School. This designation was then used by Harvard Law School when she taught at Harvard, without her correcting it if she disagreed. Also jumping into the race is California Democratic (what else?) senator Kamala Harris. She questioned CIA nominee Mike Pompeo by asking if he will commit to not discriminating against gay, female, transgender, and Muslim employees of the CIA. Pompeo said yes, and it appeared that he did not want to insult Harris by reminding her that such discrimination is illegal. Harris then asked Pompeo if he would commit to accepting the "weight of scientific evidence" about global warming/climate change. Pompeo tried to explain to Harris that the CIA collects information for the policy makers to use. The CIA does not get involved in policy issues of global warming. We have Booker, Warren, and Harris running for the 2020 Democratic nomination. All three are appealing to the same left-wing base to raise money, and all are using the confirmation hearings to advance their campaigns. Warren and Booker seem vicious and dishonest in the Hillary mold, while Harris seems in the Joe Biden Dim Bulb mode. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog..._booker_planning_their_presidential_runs.html
Warren wants to run for President the next time around. I wonder if Booker could be the VP or if he wants to go for the top spot himself? Warren does not really need to claim to be Native American anymore, she already has 1 or 2 points in her favor on the oppression olympics score card (Female and possibly Gay?). I am not sure about Kamala Harris...I doubt it.
Could be, but as I said in the previous post, the issue Warren has is she will be 71. The dems already tried to put up an old lady and it failed. That hurts Warren. She is a woman but we have already seen that being black supersedes being a female in the democrat party. Being gay, what the hell will that get you in the democrat party? A muslim goes and kills 50 gays and the didnt seem too concerned. The murder's father showed up to Hillary Clinton rallies. The only gays that dems care about are rich gays who donate money. If you are a poor, latino, gay dancing in an Orlando night club and you happen to get murdered by a muslim terrorist, its no big deal, in fact the family of the terrorist will be invited to the next democrat rally. They are tolerant.
You keep bringing up her age, I understand that you feel strongly about it and you are probably right. However, if anyone brings up her age to her then should could claim "glass ceilings" and "but Trump was 70 when he became President you male sexist pig!!!". "How dare you discriminate against me for being a 71 year old woman!". Do you think her own party would stop her when she reaches 71? Maybe Booker really is Obama v3.0 and Warren is yesterday's news? For once I wish a Democrat or some who hates Trump (besides Wildchild) would comment here.
The problem with identity politics is that you have a real issue trying to represent all of these groups with one, or even two people. White males are out for sure. Aged white females are probably done as well. All of these hate filled groups, black thug sympathizers, illegals, gay activists, radical Islamic sympathizers, anti capitalists, are so full of contempt for anyone other than themselves there will be much infighting. They may just eat each other, much to the delight of the right. Right now the ticket leans towards Michelle and someone very much in bed with supporting and advocating illegal immigrants, specifically Mexicans and Middle eastern Muslims.
Well Michele is well liked so that a step in the right direction, but there is no creativity in that choice. Nothing to really spark a lot of free media coverage. Not enough outrageousness! The perfect candidate would be a nominally male, olympic figure skating medalist. That would be a way to slip in a white male without anyone realizing it. Lots of free media coverage and name recognition. The only drawback is they have to be 35 years old and by then hairlines tend to recede. Sequins don't look as good on a balding 35-year-old.
Don't see why one can't be a social liberal and fiscal conservative. This kind of crap of hard lining with the party is why compromise is never achieved and nothing ever gets done.
