TRUMKA Wants Elizabeth Warren to Be President: "In short," he wrote, "it don't get no better."

48. Of course she's pro-military. That's not the surprise.

Thing is, when you tell people Warren is as well--strongly, in fact, that all her brothers served and one was in combat in Vietnam, that she is VERY wired into Pentagon and Veteran's issues, they look at you like you have two heads and call you the L word.

I know, I have had it happen to me.

See, she's got to be anti-war and pro-weed...just... ya know, because!

The image and the idea of the person is more important than the reality...the same thing happened to Obama in 2008 or thereabouts; people just didn't check his record, they "assumed" he was more liberal than he was, and were angry when they realized he wasn't going to do something like pass the duchy at the SOTU, or make broad, sweeping, way-to-the-left changes by decree (as if he could do that anyway). Some have never gotten over being "duped" by their own enthusiasm for an image over an individual's stated record, history, and utterances.
