(135,425 posts)back to issues, that their re-hash of old news doesn't get us excited at all--see, that's what VETTING does. Everyone who is going to vote already knows Hillary's story. They know about her husband (your remark about how she's a failure as a woman because her husband "strayed" is a real problem on this board, though, let me tell you--are you tone-deaf? It's the woman's fault that a man acts like an asshole, really? Please!). No Republican can besmirch her--they've already tried, and she's told them to go to hell.
Most people don't know Warren's story--even the 'problem' bits. When those start coming out, there would be no time for "new ideas," she'd be playing defense on the Native American shit, on the timeline of her marriages, and --notwithstanding that she was a Republican until 1996--she would be painted as a far, far lefty and her character and attitudes twisted, solely for political advantage. It's obvious that you're unaware of these pretty serious stumbling blocks completely. If you were aware, you'd see that it's a genuine PROBLEM, these things I've mentioned. Again, review those links.
You don't have to see Hillary as "attractive" - it's not a beauty contest. Again, that kind of verbiage is problematic. She's confident, capable, smart, and has very good judgment. And I'm sorry to tell you--it is the middle class, the parents with 2.4 kids, the grandparents who are still vital and vote, and the great grandparents who never miss an election who will vote for her. She doesn't need to convince people, she doesn't have to sell her "new ideas" or play the "getting to know you" game--they're ready and waiting already.
