POLITICO/Morning Consult: Trump+6 against Warren

[henster]

Why did they only poll Warren?

I am already tired of hearing 'Pocahontas' and the Indian crap from the right every time with Warren. The indian stuff is emails all over again a seemingly insignificant issue that will end costing her the election. Her explanation on the whole thing is as unconvincing as Hillary's response to emails.

The only real dirt on Gillibrand is big tobacco lawyer, flip flop on guns.  Warren obviously has her issues and I think Booker has major skeletons in his closet from his Mayorship. I'm inclined to go with the candidate with the least amount of baggage after the Hillary fiasco. It cannot be another lesser of two evils election.

Baggage doesn't matter. What matters is whether people perceive the candidate to be on their side and looking out for their interests. Trump's legion of fiascos didn't touch him while Hillary's nothingburgers destroyed her because he was perceived as supporting the interests of a significant segment of swing voters while Hillary wasn't. That's why I still feel Warren is the best one out of these.

Warren's Indian heritage crap makes it seem like she is a opportunist liar. And that is how she will perceived when she is relentlessly attacked over it.
