And when they see her unfiltered they like her more....enthusiastically. Your aim for weeks now here has been to try and convince people she CAN’T win in the general. That is YOUR weak conclusion.

I have confidence that Elizabeth Warren has the heart, the intellect, the energy, and the talent to bring out Democratic voters.

.....By the time Warren left the stage at the “She the People” forum, thousands of black women in the audience were on their feet roaring cheers and applauding. The reaction eclipsed the response earlier in the day to Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey — the black candidates in the Democratic contest. It reflected the unlikely traction that Warren, a 69-year-old white woman who lives in tony Cambridge, Massachusetts, is gaining with black women who are debating whom to back in a historically diverse primary.

“To have an ally — she’s a woman, but she’s not a black woman — who can speak intelligently and has thought about people who don’t look like you, that resonates,” said Roxy D. Hall Williamson, a 49-year-old who was in the audience. “She stole the show to me.”.....
