Many said the same thing about Trump and look how that turned out...

Based on him, that's one of the qualifications.

She beat a LOOOONG Term Incumbent to win her Congress seat, and she did it without having any money.

Cortez won because her opponent did not campaign and voter turnout was extremely low. She is still one of the dumbest there is.

Certainly can not be any worse than the current..

Nobody said that

Pretty much everyone in the NYC real estate and business community said that. He may have fooled the rest of the country into thinking he was some genius business man with great wealth, but the big real estate companies and families in New York and the banks have always thought of him as a two-bit player.

What they did not realize was that the thing that he used to trick everyone into thinking he was a business titan, (i.e., his superb sales ability), is the same thing that would get him elected.

Have whatever opinions you want of him as a president, but as a deal guy, CEO, business leader, wealth creator, etc., he has always been viewed as a joke by the people who created substantial wealth. His father, on the other hand, is a different story.

I like how she’s already been caught lying about being from the Bronx lol

I thought that was Jennifer Lopez.

Are you always this stupid or just when you troll the internet. Elizabeth Warren claimed she was part Indian. She got a job based off this claim taking another job from a more deserving Native American. Once again, Democrats try to change the meaning of words. They are even so Brazen as to refer to themselves as the Democratic party but there is nothing Democratic about that party anymore. It is no longer the party of JFK.

I don’t understand. How would being part Native American make a person a better candidate for a job?

Please refer to the current " NFL black coaches firings and affirmative action" thread.

Fresh new face of the gerontocracy.

I have never understood why people have such sharp negative opinions on people like Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren. They get treated under a different microscope. You can't like Trump & all of the corruption of his administration or even people like Bernie or Biden and feel so negatively about Warren. She's bright, talks about the plight of the middle class, and has great policy solutions. Other candidates fall short in all of those areas.

Her story is well conveyed in this announcement video. Her message is simple: everyone should have a chance in this country. Between Trump's corruption and Wall Street going along unchecked, the middle class has lost. I can't understand why people will refuse to like her without looking up her story and her ideas. Evaluate all candidates the same way.

Umm, because she’s basically a communist. I didn’t vote for Trump or Clinton, as they were both very flawed and morally compromised, and I think Trump is gradually losing support from the GOP. But, the left has swung too far left in their vehement hatred and disregard for all things “Trump.” Sadly, if they run Warren, they will lose again, partly because a person such as myself will only consider a center left or center right candidate. But I might ink in 1/1024th of Warren’s bubble...

Good news guys. Like 20 other Democrats will form “exploratory committees” in the next 90 days.

So everyone take a chill pill. Warren may not even win the nom. There are other just as progressive Dems out there considering a run (I.e. Sherrod Brown who has already proven to be electable in a red state).

Our long national nightmare of Trump will soon be overshadowed by a long nightmare of the 2020 election.

And who even says he/she will be running against Trump?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez will be the First Woman President in 2024, she is the rising star of the Democratic Party.

Wow.

You said that out loud.

Wow.

Politicians today embody the worst of qualities of humans: divisiveness, corruption, greed and petty squabbling. Their inability to reform healthcare in a meaningful way or even pass a budget shows how useless and divided they are. I don’t think many started this way when they entered politics, but after a term or two the inevitable happens. Can’t we do better than Dems vs Repubs? I feel that a Congress filled with average Americans (not crazies) with common sense could accomplish more than the current group of idiots.

Her claiming to be Indian got her into Harvard, you fkn moran.

For the 50% of the country that actually pays taxes she would be a nightmare. Warren's vision of America is where the upper-middle class pays 40-50% and top earners are taxed crazy amounts (>70%). She would usher in a period of stagflation, just like the 1930's. Small businesses would die and our economy would suffer. No way!

Can we, as a message board, try to do a little better in 2019? There's no place for the r word in any conversation, let alone this one. Just tell me what you don't like about her as a lawmaker. What ideas do you not like? Stop it with the male insecurities and just hating a woman in a position of power. For you & the person saying she is a communist, I think she would liken herself to FDR. She outlines a big flaw in this country: Our economic system is leaving the middle class behind. And she has ideas to fix this problem. She preaches corporate responsibility. She isn't as left leaning as Bernie. Again, I'm not surprised LRC is fixated on the Native American stuff and just hating her for being a woman. She isn't afraid of Trump and has realistic ideas to try to curb unchecked power in the corporate/financial sector.

To the "Urine....." poster- You are the one who doesn't follow the facts. The DNA test proved that there was Native Indian DNA in her sample. It was small, but family legend had it dating to the 1800s. She did not get a job because of it. The places that she applied to confirmed that. I guess you only watch FOX and read the phony websites that are put forth by Right wingers and Russians.

More importantly, establish a platform. So far the only platform the Dems have is "We Hate Trump."

Oh, and make that platform more left-center than far-left, which is where they have drifted.

You must have been under a rock for what, 20-40 years? Dems have had the same platform for decades. Some of their typical talking points:

- Affordable health care for all

- Immigration reform (including path to citizenship for those here illegally)

- Increased gun control

- Likely higher taxes on the rich, tax breaks/zero taxes for the poor

- Increase in renewable energy, decrease in oil/gas

.....etc

None of this has changed lately and won't change with whatever Dem ends up the front runner.
