Hillary Clinton vs. Elizabeth Warren Could Be a Dream Match, for Republicans

They have called Senator Elizabeth Warren “an extremely attractive candidate” in the 2016 presidential campaign. They have said that she is the “hottest commodity” in the Democratic Party and that she has demonstrated the “passion and intensity” that Hillary Rodham Clinton lacks.

Those glowing compliments are not from the liberal activists who are trying to persuade Ms. Warren to challenge Mrs. Clinton, who is expected to be the party’s leading contender in 2016. They come from conservatives who are eager to drum up a contentious Democratic primary and who see Ms. Warren, a first-term senator from Massachusetts, as best positioned to weaken, and potentially defeat, Mrs. Clinton.

On cable television and in private strategy sessions, conservatives are steadily stoking the flames of a movement to recruit Ms. Warren, who has said she will not run but whose anti-Wall Street economic message resonates with the liberal base of the Democratic Party.

“Please give us Elizabeth Warren. Please, God, let us have Elizabeth Warren,” said Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas who is considering a presidential bid

1. I asked some time ago about the intentions of the Warren bandwagon.

This is an answer for at least some of them.

2. Seriously? You are saying those of us who prefer a Progressive type of president are

GOP operatives?

3. lol! It sounds as if that may be the case!

I guess the beatings will continue until morale improves as far as the "inevitable" one goes.
Does that mean the if Warren is the nominee, all those demanding undying love and support for the nominee would abandon Warren?

[djean111]

4. This will be anti-Warren meme of the day, methinks, since the tattered old "Warren was a

Republican 20 years ago" thing is not having the desired effect.

[HappyMe]

5. I saw that thread.

How goofy can you get?

I suppose it would ruffle Clintonista feathers that Warren goes after big banks and Wall Street.

[LawDeeDah]

9. That is what the fear is about. Wall street.

Hillary is to be spared any question about her dear friendship with Wall Street. Can you imagine the fun we could have watching a debate between Warren and Clinton on this subject?

That's why people are getting really testy, and even bringing up that stupid Native American thing against Warren. And guess which 'bandwagon' most of That is coming from.

[HappyMe]

10. That Native American stuff is right wing crap.

It's pretty disgusting that it was brought up here at all.

I think Warren would probably spank Clinton pretty hard in a debate.

11. YOU'RE calling something 'stupid?' LOL! LOL!

While I agree it's right wing, I at least know the difference.

Stupid.

6. Nope

7. Republicans are hoping a divisive fight between Clinton and Warren

will leave big chunks of the base unhappy and refusing to vote for either Clinton or Warren. No doubt they have operatives lurking hear watching the fireworks between those two camps. They are certainly aware of the attempt to draft Warren that refuses to listen even to Warren.

They have already made moves to limit their own Clown Car Primary so that the divisiveness will not affect independents and centrists as much as last time.

They would love that kind of dynamic among Democrats.

I think that being Sexists pigs, they also hope to see what was called a "Catfight" back when I was in High School in the 60's.

8. if it's words from republicans, its a trick. They're never honest.

[blkmusclmachine]

15. +1000

Never trust a Republican. Or a politician.

12. It's Mike Huckabee

Of course he said that. He truly thinks his religious form of conservatism is the dominant mindset in America and they're just waiting for someone like him to run for President. Unfortunately for him Warren's positions fall in line with the majority of American people according to the polls. She also would have the demographics on her side (as does Hillary).

[Arkana]

13. Yep, because the Clinton/Obama split fractured the party irreparably, Huck.

Oh, wait...

[Thinkingabout]

16. Not that Mike has any strong running points it isn't going to be an election

Between Mike Huckabee and any DNC candidates.
