I am reminded this evening of a quote.

(snip)

Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Warren had “impugned the motives and conduct” of Sessions while quoting a 1986 letter written by Coretta Scott King in opposition to Sessions’ appointment as a federal judge. King wrote that Sessions had “used the awesome powers of his office in a shabby attempt to intimidate and frighten elderly black voters.”

Interrupting her speech, McConnell accused Warren of violating Senate Rule 19, which states that Senators cannot “directly or indirectly, by any form of words impute to another Senator or to other Senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming a Senator.” The Senate then voted along party lines to stop her from continuing to speak during the debate.

“Senator Warren was giving a lengthy speech,” McConnell said, defending the move. “She had appeared to violate the rule. She was warned. She was given an explanation. Nevertheless, she persisted.”

that's what she does, she persists.

People can say what they want to about her, but she doesn't give up.

"....Warren offers the best shot at a transformative presidency even if those limits remain in place, and she’s got the clearest plan for attacking those limits head-on..."

4. I gotta admit

She had the turbo button on last night. Showing the intelligence to change strategies instead of being just a personality.

that Republicans plan to turn her into Hillary if she wins. That was my take away from it.
