REPUBLICANS ONLY: Would you be afraid of a Warren candidacy?

[Suburbia]

I don't know if I should put this here or on the What If forum, but if Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren had run, would you be afraid of her candidacy, or would she be formidable in your sense?

[Stand With Israel. Crush Hamas]

No, because it would take a 2008-like atmosphere for her to win.

[daveosupremo]

A resounding no.

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Nope. She won't win unless the republicans nominate Cruz or someone like him, and even then it'd only be Tilt D.

[King]

Warren would get completely slapped around George McGovern style.

[bobloblaw]

More so than Hildog. She is the real deal and believes in what she says. She also wouldnt destroy the Dem party the way Hillary will.

[Skye]

I wouldn't underestimate her, if that's what you mean.

[RINO Tom]

No...

[CountryClassSF]

I would be afraid that she could demagogue her way into the White House like Obama did  and tone down her rhetoric to try to appear more mainstream, yes.  My opinion is when you have unfettered voting with no ID, elections can be "won" by the craziest of people.

[Mister Mets]

I'd be worried about the possibility that she becomes President. I believe her to be a weak candidate, but a two person race in which both sides are pretty much guaranteed to get 40 percent (and very likely to get at least 45 percent) is impossible to accurately predict.

Are you seriously suggesting that voter fraud is a legitimate problem in non-voter ID states? It isn't. Look up the basic facts before you come off as Kris Kobach 2.0.

[Torie]

No. She should run. She has a distinctive political voice. And my partner Dan is very pro Native American and would vote for her.

We have as many as 39 Pubs on this forum? Who knew? 

[Lincoln Republican]

An emphatic no.

Would that she would be the Dem nominee.

Her extreme leftist agenda would fall flat in 65%-70% if the nation.

[YaBoyNY]

More so than Hildog. She is the real deal and believes in what she says. She also wouldnt destroy the Dem party the way Hillary will.

lol

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I welcome it.

[IceSpear]

Warren would get completely slapped around George McGovern style.

I don't think she'd get McGovern'd, but the turn from media darling to media nemesis would be swift and brutal. It would be John McCain 2.0. Right now she pretty much only gets positive coverage and glowing portraits because they desperately want her to run against Hillary. But if she actually managed to snag the nomination? Watch out. #nativeamericangate would become a national scandal. "Far left", "out of the mainstream", "Democratic Ted Cruz" and more would be frequent descriptions in any piece mentioning her.

[CountryClassSF]

If the Democrats throw Hillary overboard a second time, I don't think they will have a chance to win the general election. The PUMAS will vote Republican.

[Bull Moose Base]

Her extreme leftist agenda would fall flat in 65%-70% if the nation.

Actually, Warren's agenda more or less will probably win the election, just with Hillary running on it.

Also, there's a lot of interest in a thread about someone who has insisted repeatedly she isn't running and approximately zero mentions here of Walker's new immigration stances, Cruz attacking him from the left, Rubio's tax plan and the Wall Street Journal panning it, Walker and Rubio trading shots on foreign policy. For a community of people with an unhealthy obsession with the 2016 election, no one actually seems to be paying any attention to the 2016 election.

All two dozen of them.
