"Professor Warren" [View all]

Elizabeth Warren ran against then Senator Scott Brown in Massachusetts and kicked his ass into the gutter where he belonged.

During that race, Brown was enough of an idiot to consistently refer to her as "Professor Warren." I guess he thought that people in Mass. would sneer at a woman who was educated, brilliant, and who "didn't know her place." Big mistake. He's now history.

However, this happened in Mass. Would it work countrywide? If she were to win the nomination and Trump started attacking her as "Professor Warren," with all the implications that Brown thought went with it, would it work countrywide? I don't know. But I don't have much confidence in the average intelligence of American voters.

Right now, I'm still undecided. But I'm leaning heavily toward this wonderful, brilliant woman as our nominee.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
