More like an obvious take.

Everyone is “beatable” in the abstract.

Warren is a good candidate. Who knows whether she’ll be the one that makes it through what will be a very wide primary field, but she’s very worthy of being in the discussion.

Warren is a great and qualified candidate, no doubt about that. So was Clinton. She just isn't energizing and inspiring and thus (at least to me) not going to win the primary.

Quite possibly right (though I’d say she’s more of both those things than HC was) - I just don’t think her being IN the primary field will (or at least should) make the Trump camp especially happy.

Well the POS that is McConnell has said he isn't going to bring any bills to the floor that the President won't sign.

He's essentially abdicating his responsibility that Congress is a check on the President. They passed a temporary budget bill 100-0 but didn't override Trump's veto and now he won't bring the EXACT SAME BILL back up for vote.

Honestly think I hate him more than Trump.

He certainly is enabling Trump.

Let's not forget he changed the rules to get Trump's Supreme Court picks through.

Now that the Democrats have a check on things, the entire focus of the GOP next will pivot to painting the Democrats as fiscally irresponsible because they will refuse to try to repair the GOP created deficit by cutting medicare and social security.

The ruse that is the GOP...since Reagan. Make the rich richer, and paint democrats as fiscally irresponsible because of social programs.

Sums up what has become of the Republican party. OId white guys afraid of progressive ideas and potential change.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

FWIW, in a 30min interview on Maddow last night, Warren was significantly more energising and inspiring than Clinton managed in a 6 month campaign.

Republicans create the recession them blame democrats when they try to clean it up
