In more than a dozen interviews with self-described independents and Democrats at Warren events over the weekend, the issue of 'electability' emerged as a common theme.

You're reporting on a dozen interviews? Really?

Ask about the national electability of any female candidate. It’s a sad statement Trump can bring his brand of philandering and bullshit but women face a much higher bar.

Let's be very careful not to let the opposition dictate who we choose to represent our party. just because we're afraid of the mud that will inevitably be thrown her way doesn't diminish her as a candidate as long as we rally behind her.

I don’t want to send him back to New York I want to send him to jail

People, people, people. Let the woman get her feet under her. Let her get her message out. There will be plenty of time for the GOP to start their sh*t, and you all can pile on then. For now, just let the woman speak. And, I dunno, maybe listen to what she has to say?

Dear Elizibeth, My love for you has grown. So have the weeds in my garden.

I no longer think a woman can win the Presidency without ditching the Electoral College. By all means keep trying tho!

Not just cultural appropriation, but cultural appropriation for personal gain...... Yep, that kinda turns off voters.

Electability is just another word for misogyny left to lose.

Stick to the issues NPR!

I am so sick of misogyny in this country!!

You cannot be 'married' to any sort of progressive campaign. Winning comes from representing and bringing to the party those who see the failures of the current president. We MUST be the party of all America.

Remember when Democrats had some guy follow Bob Dole around dressed as a cigarette? Republicans should have someone follow Fauxcahontas around wearing a feather in a headband. This woman is a criminal and belongs in prison.

Dems love discounting progressive candidates based on perceived “electability”. Republicans dgaf about that and that’s why they project strength

If trump got elected, anyone can

And that is not The Indian imposter!

See my writing/suggestions above. When Warren appeared years ago on the political scene as a political consumer advocate, like many I cheered her, appreciatively. She recently has become too hortatory, “bossy”-sounding for American men—AND “regular” women. Change style, Elizabeth

On paper, Warren sounds great. But her shrill, hectoring tone makes her ineffective and unpersuasive. Harris and Klobuchar have very similar policy positions and articulate them without yelling at you.

That Sambo figurine in her kitchen would vote for her!

The media bosses have done their job well

I have yet to see a serious show or article about any politician’s policies (especially, if they’re women and Democrats), unless it’s repeating a lie or total mischaracterization by Republicans. Do your jobs and stop being a gossip column. This is why I stopped being a member.

People loves senator Warren, smart strong capable woman

People are so dumb

Note to Editor: This motherfucker was determined electable by voters. Remove 'electability' from the discourse. It is a non-operative statement.

After the first Latino US President, there will never be another non-Latino President. Especially if the electoral college is eliminated.

You guys can’t help but parrot GOP talking points abt “electability” & ignore the substance of her policies. She’ll have no issues getting elected, unless you spend the next two years bringing Republicans on your shows to attack her while letting Trump get away with everything.

Electibility is how Trump got elected. So, no. Don’t go this route. Democrats have to run on issues. Plus, we want a smart candidate. Look what the Republican Party got!

Cover for “No like lady, make me feel weird”

What the hell is with this narrative? She strikes me as a no nonsense fighter for her priorities. Someone who knows what she believes. She’s the most presidential person in the field that I can see.

A racist, misogynist who filed six bankruptcies, had three wives, numerous mistresses and bragged about assaulting a married woman to a friend on a bus got elected with the help of a foreign adversary. FUCKING ANYONE DRAWING A BREATH IS OBVIOUSLY ELECTABLE. Now do policy MF'ers!

Funniest thing I've read today.

..I like her.. but yeah.. l agree. mebbe Vice ..but l don 't see her as Pres.

Electability isn’t a real thing. Please don’t push that narrative this early. Obama wasn’t “electable” yet became the most electable president.

In first Iowa campaign trip, Gillibrand talks up rural roots, confronts questions of electabilityProspective Democratic voters quizzed the New York senator on her role in Sen. Al Franken's resignation and her ability to best Trump in 2020. janestreet Be very afraid. Trump isn't just a Republican. He comes in many forms. Gillbrand worked with a Hannity operative (perhaps indirectly) to get rid of Franken.

But, I haven't seen a single Democrat candidate yet that I think could stand up against him. He absolutely wiped the floor with the best of the best candidates the Republicans had to offer in 2016. I am so hoping Trump will be impeached or resign this year.
