By Jason Easley on Tue, Jun 28th, 2016 at 6:33 pm
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) is urging all Democrats to go on the attack against Donald Trump because now is the time to go after the Republican nominee.
During an interview on The View, Sen. Warren (D-MA) said, You know, the way I see it is the Republicans waited way too late to go on the attack after Donald Trump, and they waited until he had basically seized the nomination and then a bunch of them are saying: Oh my God, that man is not ready to be president of the United States. That man is dangerous. That man holds a bunch of views that are really horrible views, but it was too late for the Republicans. Well, my view on that is, Im not waiting. I waded in on Donald Trump. Nows the time to go after him. You bet.
Warren is correct. Democrats have learned from the mistakes of the Republican Party. They arent falling for Trumps tabloid style tactics. They arent kidding themselves that Trump is a fad, or that he will go away. Democrats are taking Donald Trump seriously, which is why they are coming after him early and often.
The worst mistake that Democrats could make would be to be complacent with Trump. Most Republicans thought Trump could never win, and now he is their presidential nominee. Democrats need to hit Trump early and often. Most importantly, they cant let up until the job is done.
Donald Trump isnt a joke. He is the Republican nominee for president. Sen. Warren has it figured out. Trump is dangerous, which is exactly why Democrats should be relentless on him though Election Day.

(40,416 posts)It would be a horrible mistake to take her out of her seat, and I am thinking that she agrees with that sentiment.
I unhesitatingly oppose Warren as VEEP.
We need her where she is.

All I can say is that Harry should know better. So should Josh.
I disagree. We need Liz on the floor of the Senate, not merely wielding a gavel and only voting on ties. Who in Sam Hell would see that as an advantage? Not me.

(34,845 posts)She's a smarter Sanders and she would not be muzzled and Clinton would know that. For the two of them to run on a ticket together, they would both know the costs and the benefits.
And in eight years...President Warren? I'm all in for that.

(40,416 posts)So should everybody else.
I have to stand firm on this. No Elizabeth Warren as VEEP.
Best regards.

(418 posts)I have been a Hillary supporter because she is a fighter. Warren is one and knows strategic areas to fight.

(1,630 posts)That is what a Democrat looks like! She has her priorities straight. Trump cannot be allowed near the White House and she is working her tail off to prevent it.
