It’s Not Because She’s a Woman

In early October, Elizabeth Warren hit her stride. Her stock in the Democratic primary had been climbing steadily since midsummer, and as Joe Biden continued to lag, the Massachusetts senator became the first presidential hopeful to overtake him as front-runner in the RealClearPolitics polling average.
She’s been in free fall ever since.
Warren now sits at just 14.8 percent in the RCP average, in third place behind Bernie Sanders, with about half the support Biden has. The former vice president has lost a step or two (or several) since his time as Obama’s right-hand man, but it’s looking less and less likely that Warren will be the Democrat to supplant

It's not because she's a woman. It's because of her annoying flapping arms and the same annoying black get up with a different color cover she wears everywhere she goes. It's mainly that she's an annoying lying marxist, though.

She's a very grating parody of herself.

#1, how come no one ever criticizes what male candidates wear? Unfortunately, when we comment on Warren's attire, we support the position that it's because she is a woman. She has found a "uniform" that is comfortable and looks nice. I'm okay with that. But I'm not okay with her communist platform.

"23 percent of women said they preferred Biden, while 16 percent favored Warren"
This means that Warren can't sell sexism charges to other women, who should be her most sympathetic audience for this issue. That probably means she is being perceived as a whiner and yet again as a liar.
Warren is being caught in the trap that ALL the dem candidates face. They have to go Left to win their primary but extreme Leftism will lose them the general election. Sure, after the primaries they will pivot and moderate their speech and the propaganda media will help them cover up their Leftism. However, all their Leftism is being captured by Trump's people and you KNOW it is going to show up in some campaign ads. Medicare for All is NOT winning in the dem primary. It will be a YUGE boat anchor in the general election. Warren tied it around her own neck and that had nothing to do with sexism. It was an effort to cut Sanders out of the race (You don't need him, I support Medicare for all too.) and poor judgment on Warren's part.
Plus, Bloomberg's entry into the race complicates things for Warren. If Biden collapses, his support would have had to flow to the others, probably Sanders and Warren breathing life into their campaigns. But with Bloomberg in the race, it is more likely to transfer to him. After a few primaries, there is going to be some serious consolidation. Warren probably won't make the cut.

If Democrats want to argue that Democratic Party voters are racist (Kamala Harris) and sexist, why would I try to convince them they are wrong? The Democratic Party has ALWAYS been the home to the most racist and sexist people in the U.S..

I beg to differ, #3 and I’m a woman. Many of us criticized the way 0bama always ran around in his shirt sleeves in an effort to look like the “common man” while Trump always wears a suit. Appearance equals impression.
Liz always wearing the same outfit, with messy hair, no makeup and no accessories makes her look like she thinks that she doesn’t need to make any effort at all. In this day of 24/7 news and everyone having a video camera on their phone, it’s not a good idea to look like a slob. And it makes me wonder about her personal hygiene. Just ask Illary. She had the same look. Imagine a president Warren attending a state dinner in the WH or at a dinner at Buckingham Palace. Do we really want that representing us, especially after 8 years of Mooch?
And then there are her insane policies. And the fact that she’s just as unlikable as Illary

On the topic of clothing choices, if a male candidate wore black pants, a black top , and jackets in Crayola 64-box colors, they'd get noticed and commented on. The male candidates all wear traditional business suits, and business casual when called for. Image matters, and Liz's "comfortable uniform" is, at best, an odd choice. My comfortable uniform is sweatpants and a solid t-shirt. Were I a candidate, I would not wear that out on the trail.

Warren’s policies are condescending and socialist. It should be obvious by now that America does not want nationalized health care. But no matter. She is willing to shove it down our throats anyway, throwing in free health care for illegals as a bonus. She has no rational explanation for how she would pay for it other than vague threats to cut our defense. Liberals are suggesting we should support this because she is female. What could be more ‘misogynistic’ than that?

We will fun out of freedom long before we run out of candidates we are not allowed to reject because they represent some form of atonement for the sins of the past. Couldn't object to Obama's spread the wealth, you have made enough, you didn't build that socialism because he had some African ancestry. Can't object to Cherokee Liz while she calls for the theft of more wealth than all that the 1% possess because she's a woman. We still have two flavors of openly gay, real native American, Hawaiian, transgenders, Muslim, and given the damage Obama did it might only take another two terms to seal the deal.

Full disclosure, I'm of XX chromosomes. So, I am, from a SJW standpoint, able to comment upon the Warren person.
I, for one, do not want to listen to the whining, lecturing, lying voice of someone else's grandma telling me what to do for the next four years. Frankly, I'm somewhat convinced that's why the Hillary person failed, too. Democrat XX persons are the best example of the "wives" described in the book of Proverbs that make their husbands (and children) want to hid in the corner of a roof, or sound like the irritating noise of water dripping incessantly. XX Warren is not a calming, encouraging voice--she's a nagging, complaining old lady.
Nope, I don't want to listen to her for any years (nor Hillary), and I'm not afraid to admit that some of the reasons stem from the fact that she's XX.
MAGA!!! KAG!!! Trump 2020!!!

Liz is not appealing in any way shape or form. The reason she has become a front runner is because she works hard. That much I give her. However, she will not be the nominee.

Agree with several comments. As the old saying goes, " you can tell about a person by their shoes". While we can't see her footwear, what she wears above her feet and how she carries herself speak loud negative volumes.
However, in the case of Melania, her wonderful stature as a woman is clearly seen in her stilettos.

We gave 0bummer a lot of flack for his mom jeans. And, didn't he wear a tan suit to some event/occasion that called for a dark suit.

Lizzie Warren took an axe. Gave her candidacy forty whacks. When she look to see what she'd done gave her candidacy forty one.

I wish I cared enough about Warren to enter a discussion about her candidacy. She may be a good lawyer, or whatever is her claim to fame. What I fail to see is any reason anyone in America would want/need a female president of ANY stripe.

Lizzy gained popularity with the Gimmedats by using her ridiculous, unreachable promises to buy that popularity but right around October she began to admit that she would be robbing not only the hated wealthy but the average middle-class worker and some of those foggy-brained people began to see that the math did not work. She could not possibly deliver what she promised without creating an unsustainable national debt crisis, which we are already uncomfortably close to.
She also will not survive that fake Native American claim and bossy school teacher image and the hundreds of lies about her life. If she could accomplish a remake of her life from about age twelve she might be a viable candidate.

I'm a woman. Would I care if a strong Conservative woman were to run and win the nomination?!? If a woman candidate would stand there as an equal WITHOUT demanding that everyone credit her for being a woman (one of those lefty idiocies) then... what's left to say? Behave like an equal, don't blab about it.
Maybe I have a different assessment because I have been blessed to have strong, intelligent women in my life.
Anyway, I dubbed Warren "The Whirligig" variously with "Whirling Dervish", and forever, that's what she is, and, a liar.

Warren's shtick was that she was "Native American"..... until her DNA test blew it out of the water.
Now she's just another old, unpleasant Leftist who made her money based on a lie.
