On Fox (with Martha MacCallum)...

Essentially, he said Mitch McConnell may have intentionally made himself look like the bad guy by muzzling Elizabeth Warren so that Warren could get loads of face time/attention and look like the valiant anti-racist, pro-woman victim she so desperately aspires to be - all so that she can advance her chances of getting the 2020 Democrat nomination, which Krauthammer inferred would be like shooting fish in a barrel for the Republicans.

He went on to say he thought McConnell is very crafty and always manages to stay a few steps ahead of the opposition and speculated McConnell may have made "... a 3-cushion shot".

On HRC's latest shite-stirring Tweet, he described the magnitude of her November upset "...second only to the Atlanta Falcons".

No doubt.

Bobby Jindal has slightly less than half a frozen chance in hell of ever stepping foot in the Oval Office, but even he has more of a chance of being the first Indian president than Lieawatha.

Completely agree. Keeping Warren being the face of the democratic party will help trump in the rust belt in four years

Warren kind of scares me with low info voters. If you don't follow enough to know what a dipshit she is, she comes off as a nice lady that stands up for the little guy. She has a much better vibe than Hillary.

Hillary didn't need a vibe. She had Huma.

Correct. It seems some that had poor judgment about Trump continue on the same path with Warren. Never say never. I can think of several scenarios where she gets elected POTUS.

If you're over 15 you should know this is possible. Scary as it may be.

She does not have the chutzpah Trump has. Looks too elderly to be a leader, and her key issues that have been her calling card are too boring to the electorate. I am 14 though so what the hell

I don't think the first female president will come from the dem side. They are too bitchy and whiney. Will turn voters off. Carly Fiorina has a better shot than fauxcahataus

What is also scary about her is she would get every bit of the Bernie crowd plus almost all of the Hillary group. Throw in some low info voters that just like the sweet grandma and you have a disaster.

I don't have any numbers to back this up, but my suspicion is that she would struggle in two out of the three biggest problem areas for Clinton in terms of voting blocs: black vote and rust belt. Among women swing voters, I'm not sure how she does vs. Clinton. While it's hard to do any worse than she did as a woman, I sense that many do not relate to the vagina hat crowd Warren has come to symbolize. And one thing that it did tell us was that mainstream women voters aren't as monolithic as some tend to think.

I'm no fan of Trump, but I think he needs to hold serve on a currently well-behaved domestic economy, and stay in the headlines with surface level stories about creating jobs. If ACA is repealed within 2 years, he's in great shape vs. someone like Warren. I would worry more about Booker.

I thought it was a brilliant move by McConnell. Yes, it's obvious Democrats. We beg you to run Elizabeth Warren.

This is perhaps one of the more ignorant statements that I have ever read.

Agree - I'll leave the 3D+ chess to the McConnells et al, but ^THIS^ scares me.

Warren would have zero chance of winning. She is way too abrasive. I think she's poison for the DNC and I hope she gets as much air time as possible. Her message is complete shite and she's not charming enough to sell it.

Agreed. Saw a clip of him grandstanding against Betsy DeVos' confirmation this week. Another demagogue waiting to catch fire. He looks like the media's next chosen one already. Booker-Warren ticket would have some clout.

You mean "Hillary didn't need a VIBRATOR. She had Huma", right?
