Watching the debate it occurred to me that perhaps only a few times in history: Tyson-Spinks, The 1990 Super Bowl (Broncos-49ers) everytime NTSA tried to crash test a Pinto, that there has been so thorough a beating on video. It is almost like Elizabeth Warren internalized every slight, every misogynist action suffered by all women in the history of humanity, boiled it, turned it into lava, then picked one man to erupt on.
A few minutes in it became clear that Elizabeth was not going to be satisfied until Michael Bloomberg had been politically beaten to death by virtue of his own limbs having been ripped from his body by said woman.
The was The Day After, 2012, San Andreas, and Dante’s Peak all rolled into one. And this was against Bloomberg. Imagine what she could do in a debate against Trump. Particularly if she decides to hold onto Mike’s political limbs for extra weaponry.
In one fell swoop she:
1. Displayed masterful knowledge of policy.
2. Connected to the average person.
3. Energized the base.
4. Politically filleted a billionaire.
Yet most of the debate wrapup I see talks about Bernie and Biden. Now Bernie had his usual solid performance. Certainly kept his train rolling. Biden did seem to have a Presidential aura. Pete was Pete.
Amy was probably happy Bloomberg was there because her debate performance was something like what happens when tires are rotated without having the lug nuts tightened.
But this night was about Elizabeth. Will it be enough to catapult her back into contention? It might be. It should be. And if it isn’t, that means that even many voters in our party see women as nurses not doctors, flight attendants not pilots
This woman is not an order taker. She does show you how to use an oxygen mask. This woman flies the plane.
Scratch that-this woman builds planes, tunes them, makes them jets, then flies them into enemy territory politically eviscerating her targets.
What would happen if we nominate a woman who kicks their ass so hard, she punches them because she is mad about her sore foot?
We’d win.
And I want to win.
Send Lizzie Badass to the White House.
