I want to roll up the last few posts and mail them to TNL 2005.

I don't think "hey the name you called her is mean you meanie" argument to someone who's obviously trolling is very effective.

I'll grant that description of Hillary. Your view on Warren is absolutely different from mine, though. Every interview I've seen her in has her as as sharp, intelligent person who's passionate about what she's trying to do with occasional trips to frustration as the world gets stupider and Trump-ier.

I held the same opinion for the first few years she came into prominence. I even liked some of her ideas, like her plan to make the Postal Service relevant and profitable while at the same time gutting predatory check-cashers.

But something happened during the last election. The calm, collected, rational Warren gave way to a more emotional, shrill Warren. It's clear that Trump gets under her skin on a very personal level, and that's not a good look. I'm not saying she isn't suited for a national campaign, but I am saying that she's not suited for a national campaign against Trump. I know you respect her greatly, but he will eat her lunch.

Gabbard and Duckworth are proven, unflappable, and young. And electable.

She told everyone she was of native heritage very publicly then failed to actually provide any kind of documentation about it when asked by actual natives. She also stubbornly continues to state her family knows the truth.

So everyone in this whole chain of events is a piece of shit, but she handed Trump the ammo.

So by your logic, if she claimed to be black it would be okay for Trump to call her a jigaboo. Got it.
