LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 From the article: On his television show, Trump sent the losers down in an elevator. Since last June, since he came down that escalator at Trump Tower and announced he was going to run for President, what he has done is closer to throwing an entire political party down an elevator shaft. So this wasn’t just the end of the Cruz campaign in Indiana. It was the end of what people are still calling the Republican establishment, whatever that still means. You know who the real low-energy losers have been in this whole thing? The ones who never saw Trump coming, then looked drunk when they finally tried to stop him. Only Trump himself knows if he really thought he could pull this off. He says he did, that the only thing that surprised him, as he said to me months ago, was “how quickly it happened.” No one will ever know if he could have gotten to where he is without the low blows. But the reason he thinks he can beat Hillary Clinton is because he just put an entire political party out of business. Republican Party. Just put an “i” in the middle. So the initials read this way: R.I.P. ---- Elizabeth Warren reading Trump like a boss Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebe 17,289 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Elizabeth Warren is a truly progressive queen, if Hillary really wants a united party hopefully she will be her VP. The article is a little sensational, but it is hard times for the party and the response will be interesting. Unfortunately Trump might pull the Republican party even further right than they already are... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had doubts that Elizabeth was interested in running for a VP position, especially since she hasn't been so friendly with Hillary but these tweets make me wonder Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Wall Street called her Darth Vader, she wants to fix the "rigged" government and so on - but Warren has a very diplomatic approach and has refused to say who she endorses. Here, even though she clearly aligns more with Bernie, she refuses to endorse either and says that Democratic supporters should switch their vote for whoever wins (Bernie or Hillary). I think she is open about what she believes in and fights for progressive values, in some instances that has seen her disagree with Clinton, but it's not in the context of a tough Primary Battle so she hasn't burned any bridges. She still makes sense as a VP choice imo. Interestingly she would be a great VP choice for Hillary or Sanders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been told she can accomplish far more as a Senator than as a VP. I'd personally love nothing more than a Clinton-Warren tag team though. Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

I think she would make a great VP though, and would eventually love to see her as the president.

brendablethyn 536 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The party began decaying when Bush II and his crazy neo-cons took it over. Trump is the symptom of what has happened. Blaming this all on him is wrong. The party needs to reinvent itself and find an economic strategy that actually works and creates jobs. People are angry because they are working harder and taking less home. The party leaders in Washington seem to think this is some temporary insanity that will pass, but they are insulated with their government salaries and benefits and don't know what's happening in the real world.

brendablethyn 536 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Why would she want to be VP? Look at Joe Biden, as soon as you say one thing out of step with the President it becomes a major story. She would be unable to promote any of her ideas without Hillary's approval. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
