Knock me over with a little feather

Legal Insurrection: "Elizabeth Warren announces she’s running for President" - "If elected, she would be the first person who has committed an ethnic fraud to hold the presidency."

When it was advantageous for Warren to be a Republican, she was a Republican.
When it was advantageous for Warren to be a "minority," she was a minority.
When it was advantageous for Warren to be a Massachusetts liberal, she was a Massachusetts liberal.

Just what the national electorate wants - another liberal from Mass. running for President!

I give her chances at 1/1024 or thereabouts.

Heh, that's the general joke. I don't think she'll get far: there's not much enthusiasm out there for a hectoring middle-school principal.

It's a shame she won't get the nomination. It'd be fun to see her challenge Trump to a DNA test of Stormy Daniels' bedsheets.

Nate Silver:
My basic view on Warren's chances is bearish. For whatever reason (she's seen as old news? the DNA test? sexism/she reminds voters of Hillary?) her polling has been quite poor especially given her high name recognition. Her margins of victory in MA also have also not been great.

BUT you could make a decent "buy low" case on Warren. She probably has a better chance than Sanders of bridging the gap between the left and the party establishment. She's always raised a ton of money. Voters know what she stands for. Women did well in the 2018 primaries.

Not exactly the right analogy, but Warren's path to victory might be something like McCain's in 2008, who was left for dead by pundits at certain early points in the nomination process, but was fundamentally a strong candidate and eventually benefited from a "comeback" narrative.

It would appear that Nate Silver and the Hall Monitor are set up to be right about Conchita Warren's prospects no matter what happens to her nomination bid.

I'm impressed, and I'm gonna get me a beer.

Having a small house doesn't mean you can't create a comfortable atmosphere and even make it look bigger. Previously, you need to know that this comfortable house does not always have to be filled with a lot of supporting furniture or decorations that are expensive, but simple home decorations, minimalist home terrace ideas with minimalist plant garden. Yes, you only need to choose simple home decorations that can create the illusion of an eye and are space efficient. Still confused with simple home decorations that can create the illusion of an eye and are efficient? Come on, take a look at the list of simple home decorations that you must have from Kania below!
