Icon Optics!

I don't disagree with you, EEE, and yes, Senator Warren has put a lot of time and thought into articulating many position papers. The thing is that very, very few folks are inclined to read anything substantive. The voters that Trump and the eventual Democratic nominee are fighting over often don't get beyond the superficial. I think Trump would salivate over a Warren nomination. Example in point, a recent Boston Gay Pride Parade. There is footage of the senator, draped in a rainbow boa, vigorously shaking her arms about. You won't find anyone who is more gay rights than me, but I know the optics of Warren's enthusiasm often suck! She would be easily painted as an out-of-touch, far left kook. I know, it's not reality, and it's not fair, but the sons of bitches on the other team know how their audience and they know how to intensify the cultural divide. Senator Warren often comes off as strident and out of the mainstream. And I think she's great, but substance doesn't seem to matter to many people. I may be wrong, but I think we need a blue collar guy, loosened necktie, sleeves rolled up, who is plain spoken, and willing to mix it up a bit. I think a Biden/Kamala Harris ticket might be the way to go, but it's early, and I totally blew the last election, so what do I know?
