I don't like Warren much, but I also thought she held her own against Trump pretty well. The Democrats need someone like this on the campaign trail to take on his trollish crap. She sure did shut him up quick.

(CNN)President Donald Trump might be in jail by the time Election Day comes around, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren said on her first full day of campaigning as a declared presidential candidate.

"By the time we get to 2020, Donald Trump may not even be President," Warren said to voters in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, gathered at the Veterans Memorial Building. "In fact, he may not even be a free person."

Can't blame her for seeking out a way she possibly could beat President Trump. While a person in prison in fact can run for president, if hei is in prison that is the ONE way she would have a shot at defeating him. Otherwise, no. :2razz:

Polls seem to suggestion otherwise: General Election: Trump vs. Warren

I had to look that up and it turns out to be true. So someone can run for president from inside a prison but can't vote: system's not broke at all...
 
It’s just her version of “lock her up.”
 
LOL, Warren's campaign will fail long before Trump leaves office. Maybe even before his next spray tan touch-up. :cool:

So the crazy one is looking for enough crazy people to launch her and her crazy party to power. You can bet when they price cars out of business with carbon taxes, the elites will still have theirs and you will be on food stepping over truds.

Do you realize other than democrat lawyers the democrat party has practically no connection to the private sector. The private sector “is” America.
 
Bullies don't like it when those they bully start pushing back. Should be interesting to see how Trump reacts now the folks like Warren and Klobachar are pushing back.

You're being sarcastic, right?

When Teddy Roosevelt coined the phrase 100 years ago, "bully" meant "excellent" or "first rate." Language and terminology evolve. Weird, right?

If I remember correctly, an anti-war socialist stayed on the ballot while in prison.

Were they in prison for being an objector? If that's the case there's hope yet.

But my point was if someone in jail can run (which means Trump may have hope yet for 2020), then surely those who've served time should be allowed to vote. I was just railing at the injustice of it all. I get sappy like that.

This is Wiki, but it also is confirmed elsewhere:

Debs ran as a Socialist candidate for President of the United States five times, including 1900 (earning 0.6% of the popular vote), 1904 (3.0%), 1908 (2.8%), 1912 (6.0%) and 1920 (3.4%), the last time from a prison cell. He was also a candidate for United States Congress from his native state Indiana in 1916.

Debs' speeches against the Wilson administration and the war earned the enmity of President Woodrow Wilson, who later called Debs a "traitor to his country".[41] On June 16, 1918, Debs made a speech in Canton, Ohio urging resistance to the military draft of World War I. He was arrested on June 30 and charged with ten counts of sedition

Eugene V. Debs - Wikipedia

He was most known and active for union organizing and other union activities. That he received his most votes at 3.4% while in prison for sedition in his opposition to WWI is a lot of votes under the circumstance.

Well if a professional agitator got any votes at all it should be easy as hell for a former president with a criminal record to get on the ballot. Hail Trump 2020 for life!

True. But the Democrats think America should be ruled by law professors. They less they know about business the better.
 
I will vote for ANYONE against Warren if she runs.

Eh, that's partisan nothing.

In WW2, the government did not bother known pacifist religions such as Quakers, Amish etc, but was intolerant of others. Most notable was about divisions within the various Lutheran denominations. Among those, smaller ones such as the Wisconsin Synod had a very high percentage - nearly 100% - of German ancestry members and even did services in the German language.

Most Lutheran schools required students to learn German fluently. Nearly all members had German speaking grandparents from Germany and German speaking parents - making their male members highly desirable for obvious reasons since it offered literally a potential of 10,000s of thousands of German speaking American troops. Thus, dodging the draft was particularly intolerable for lose of the asset. The church initially was urging members to absolutely not sign up and even to resist the draft.

The government gave their leadership and ministers an ultimatum - stop or go to prison for treason. However, it also offered the alternative that if the church would declare anyone drafted a clergy with their church, they would have to be go into the military if drafted BUT could serve as chaplains. The synod(s) took the offer. In both world wars the government was intensely harsh against anyone who spoke against the war once declared and anyone who resisted the draft. Unlike Vietnam, claiming to be a pacifist virtually never was successful and ducking the draft resulted in extended hard prison time.

(I'm one of those people who knows a little about everything and a lot about nothing. :2razz:
