Elizabeth Warren Fakes A Crowd At Iowa Rally

Shortly after announcing her candidacy in early January for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) campaigned in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

She excitedly posted a video of the “crowd” of supporters waiting to see her with the caption, “First event in Iowa, first overflow line in Iowa.”

The 4 second video was sped up and was on a continuous repeat, which made it appear that a large crowd had gathered for the rally.

One Twitter user, however, slowed down the video to “1/1024 speed” which told a very different story. (Slow video is directly below Warren’s original sped up version.)

Warren’s “overflow” line dwindled to around 85 people. Hmmm.

From 35 to about 50 are great years, IMO. Happy Birthday.

Yes, this is a Democrat front-runner.

Mueller Report: Democrats’ 2020 Contenders Shift Subject

The Democrats’ 2020 presidential candidates are downplaying and distancing themselves from the Mueller report as fast as they can tweet.

“The entire Mueller report must be made public,” said a no-risk tweet from Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar, who declined to make any risky claims about coverups or impeachment promises. Her next tweet changed the subject to gun rights, asking, “How many more children will be hurt by gun violence — directly or indirectly — before we listen to their voices, take action and pass sensible gun safety legislation?”

New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker adopted the same low-risk approach:

And used his next tweet to change the subject to sentencing and prison rules:

New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand took the same cautious approach:

But in her next tweet, she touted her red-meat personal insults of Trump during her first campaign rally:
https://twitter.com/SenGillibrand/status/1109953723504177152
President Trump is a coward. That's not what America deserves. We deserve a president who is brave.
​

California’s Sen. Kamala Harris also asked for the full report, before tweeting about her call for federal-subsidies for teachers:

The Mueller report needs to be made public, the underlying investigative materials should be handed over to Congress, and Barr must testify. That is what transparency looks like. A short letter from Trump's hand-picked Attorney General is not sufficient.
​

Texas’ Beto O’Rourke declared “there must be transparency and accountability”:

Release the full Mueller report to the American people and their representatives. There must be transparency and accountability.
​

Then he shifted the subject to his outreach to Spanish-language voters:

New York Times Op-Ed: Progressives Claim Racism to Grab Power in 2020

The nation’s voters are not divided by racial and ethnic hatreds, but by progressives’ demand that intrusive government policies be used to aggressively level all disparities between racial and ethnic groups, according to an op-ed in the New York Times.

“The country is not divided by racial conflict, but by conflict over racial ideology. … Liberal whites — not minorities — are setting the tone on these issues,” says the op-ed by Eric Kaufmann, a professor at the University of London and author of “Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities.”

Kaufmann wrote:

Since 2012, white liberals have moved considerably left on questions related to race, reflecting both a campus- and online-driven cultural awakening that has accelerated in response to Mr. Trump. On the American National Election Study’s scale measuring how respondents feel about a group — white liberals are warmer toward minorities than their own racial group.

Yet Trump voters rate minorities relatively warmly. Racial ideology rather than race accounts for their differences with white Democrats: White Republicans reject [the progressives’ claims about] affirmative action, the notion of white privilege and the idea that racial discrimination continues to hold minorities back.

Minorities again rank in between on many of these measures. When it comes to “microaggression” statements such as “America is a colorblind society” or “You are so articulate,” few blacks and Hispanics find these offensive while more liberal whites do.​

Beto is much more animated - it's not hand gestures it's whole body gestures. He's pretty spastic.

He wants to be Obama sooooooo bad. It's painfully obvious. The way he speaks, the hand gestures (Beto's are like Obama's, except more spastic as you said), their dress, the soaring but very vague rhetoric.

He is a seriously weird dude. He makes Ron and Rand Paul look normal.

Rand is a pretty stand up guy. He just can't sell his message.

 

[1972 Grad]

Rand is a pretty stand up guy. He just can't sell his message.

He acts too calm, laid back, and weird to sell a message. I admit that he has a good one, though. He might be a really good President, but doesn't have the personality to get elected.

I’m a big Pete Buttigieg fan at this point in the race.

I understand most of you all are conservative or conservative leaning, and are going to vote for Trump in 2020. That’s fine and your prerogative.

Here’s my question:

Which Democrat(s) do you think have the best chance in the general election?

Like I said, I understand you won’t vote for them, but which few would be most likely to get your vote?

Out of all the Democratic candidates so far, your choice seems to be the most reasonable one. He hasn't come across as a Socialist and has a good way of presenting halfway reasonable ideas. Because he doesn't kiss the Progressives ass, he has no chance.

I would have a tough time voting for a Democrat anyway, but after the Kavanaugh Hearings, I will never, ever consider voting for a Democrat, even if he/she walks on water, brings world peace and cures cancer. This current seismic shift to the Left has sealed that deal for me forever.

I'm ashamed to say that I was a registered Democrat during the first half of my voting life. Never again.

Understood. I guess what I’m asking is for the other side’s view of who is “most electable” or most “palatable.”

I think both sides get caught in their echo chambers and don’t necessarily understand where the middle of the country sits on most issues. So by getting the conservative opinion, I think it would better help me (and Dems) find the center.
