Elizabeth Warren's Rally With Alison Grimes Is A HUGE SMASH

[Segami]

Here's the best proof that the Republican caricature of Elizabeth Warren is utterly bunk. Warren just headlined a rally over the weekend with Alison Grimes, the Democrat running to defeat Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell, and it was a smash hit:

The Warren appearance was greeted by an overwhelming crowd that with a line that stretched at least three blocks Sunday morning from the campus venue, the Red Barn.

60. I often type LOL, but this time, I actually did laugh out loud.

[yeoman6987]

30. Yeah

I believe nobody wants him back and that includes Republicans. Allison should win this race easily.

[gratuitous]

43. Let's bridge the gap between "should" and "will"

Vote, you citizens of the Blue Grass State! The more voters, the more better for Grimes.

[Snotcicles]

41. Thanks for reminding me. Wish others would have joined me. nt

[Voice for Peace]

42. wish I could, but at least sharing the donation info does help

and being reminded that people are donating.

[Snotcicles]

45. Sometimes keep posts alive can have a positive residual effect. nt

[Lifelong Protester]

57. Already did!

[AikidoSoul]

52. Me too! $25.00 to Alison Grimes and $35.00 to Mrs. Warren.

and a small tip to ACT BLUE.



Because of Warren I've donated more money than in previous years even though I can afford it less than ever.

God bless that wonderful woman.

I would never vote for Hillary. NEVER!! She, her husband, his big role in the destruction of Glass Stegall --- ruined the economy worldwide!!! And now they are one of the super rich. Look at their history and the huge number of banks that benefitted from the elimination of Glass Stegall that let them invest our money in casino type products. That was NOT allowed until Bill and his buddies worked to get rid of that pesky law. And afterwards, many, many, many banks all over the world including the biggest in New York --- paid them over $10,000,000 in speaking fees since Bill left office as the reward for destruction of Glass Stegall. THAT IS BEHAVIOR that cannot be ignored AND THEIR REWARDS ARE HUGE. I will never forgive Bill for working to destroy Glass Stegall which was created to STOP another depression, and the casino banking system that exists now! And neither should any sensible Democrat that believes that the banking system should protect the people and the economic system that benefits most people, not just a handful of thieves!

[Snotcicles]

55. Lest we forget the signing of NAFTA and The Telecommunications Act of 1996. nt

[merrily]

61. DOMA, repeal of Glass Steagall and ending "welfare as we know it."

[Snotcicles]

66. Careful now someone will lob a Nader drive-by in here. nt

[merrily]

70. No need. Neither Bill nor Ralph will be running again.

[winter is coming]

3. I'd so love to be a fly on McConnell's wall. He's got to be shit-scared of losing.

I might have to cry a few.

[WhiteTara]

6. As in tears of happiness?

I have no tears for that piece of human excrement.

[winter is coming]

10. More like laughing so hard I cry.

Poor Turtle Man. I imagine him tipped on his shell, with his legs flailing uselessly in the air.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

12. He should be afraid; very afraid. Gotta love Elizabeth!

[Gumboot]

16. These photos made my day!

Loved this one especially:



Now here are two real grassroots American heroes we can all get behind!

[ffr]

17. Now that's what we're talking about! Participation and excitement.

K&R Nice work to everyone who organized this.

You can see the enthusiasm. Awesome!

[Phlem]

18. Why can I only rec this once?

What is up with that!?

[Drew Richards]

19. What no Hillary?

[Drew Richards]

23. Oh I see scheduling conflict...she was too busy lobbying for GMO's

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

24. Quite a contrast isn't it?

[Corey_Baker08]

21. I Believe In Elizabeth Warren & Allison Grimes As A New Generation Of Democrats...

smart, eloquent, and electable, I am so impressed with both of these two women and the challenges that lie ahead for them because I know that they can absolutely take these challenges head on, not only crack the glass ceiling, but completely shatter it along the way, revitalize the Democratic Party and take on these do nothing Republicans.

I also believe in the whom I believe is the female leader of the Democratic Party, Hillary Rodham Clinton. She has without doubt paved the way for women not only in politics, but I believe Hillary Clinton is a leader who has contributed so much to the Democratic Party as a whole & has inspired women everywhere.

We, the Democratic Party, have such a bright future ahead of us, and the Warren supporters VS the Clinton supporters need to realize that we are all in the same party, we are all reaching for the same goals, and whomever our candidate should be in the 2016 Presidential Election, it is vital that we all support OUR Democratic Candidate for President, whether it is Warren, Clinton, or a come from behind male candidate, we must trust that the 2016 Democratic Nominee for President of the United States is truly OUR candidate.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY DU!

[delrem]

22. I'm so happy to see Elizabeth Warren promote candidates, this election.

Warren is strong.

In my opinion, by far the strongest Democrat in the pack.
She has popular support, already.

[winter is coming]

25. She has credibility on the right issue at the right time.

If she'd been talking about "the game is rigged" twenty years ago, few would have paid attention.

[alfredo]

39. She is building support well beyond her constituents.

[hedgehog]

27. Warren/Brown 2016!

[Enthusiast]

28. Elizabeth Warren is looking presidential.

[Plucketeer]

38. You got THAT right!

NOT "preordained" - "Presidential"!

[alfredo]

40. My big sister was there and got to meet and talk with E Warren.

[Enthusiast]

49. I would like to give them both a big hug.

[alfredo]

68. I'm becoming a big Warren fan. My sister is totally in her camp.

[Enthusiast]

73. I'm glad to hear that.

[alfredo]

74. The more the right hates her, the more I like her.

[Plucketeer]

54. Aww Geez!

How COOL was that??? Color me jealous!

[alfredo]

69. She's a fortunate one.

[madokie]

29. Please

Let Senator Warren be our next President. Her or Bernie Sanders. The two teamed up will be my dream of all dream teams

[djean111]

31. And for the Hillary purists, I would rather vote for a republican turned democrat than for a

Democrat who is at heart a republican.
Funny how that "purity" thing works.

[madokie]

32. I'll vote for Hillary if she is the nominee

but I won't be voting for her in the primary

[Babel_17]

33. Great news, thanks! (nt)

[bornskeptic]

34. This is great, but the event was in Louisville/Jefferson County.

Obama carried Jefferson County by double digit margins twice, as did Kerry in 2004 and Clinton twice. It's hardly surprising that Warren would attract a big crowd there. I'm sure Hillary Clinton would too.

[ReRe]

50. The reason they chose Louisville...

.... was because that is where McConnell calls home. IMO.

[Gothmog]

35. Go Grimes

I really hope that she wins

[Metric System]

36. WHY IS WARREN SUPPORTING A MEMBER OF THE NRA?!!?

[cascadiance]

48. Becausee NRA lobbyists (the REAL crooks in the NRA) support turtleman!

http://www.kentucky.com/2013/11/07/2917744/nra-plans-to-play-big-for-mitch.html

In a state like Kentucky, I think one as a candidate can support the right to bear arms and the NRA (as it was ORIGINALLY set up as not being an arm of the weapon manufacturers). Then that person probably would be accepted by many independent voters. I think the right to bear arms i something we should all respect, but have a healthy respect for and make sure that it is well regulated (like the constitution's 2nd amendment SAYS it should be). It's the lobbyists that might even want to legalize suitcase nukes if arms manufacturers could make a buck out of it that are the big problem.

Howard Dean over his career in a state where a lot of people carry weapons in less populated areas to hunt, etc. in Vermont, also has taken positions over his career on the 2nd amendment like Allison Grimes has. And I still think Howard Dean represents in large part the kind of pol we need to have more power in it in the coming years.

[Iggo]

51. Would you mind fleshing out your position a little?

Are you anti-Warren or anti-Grimes? Anti-both, maybe?

And in support of whom? Ms Clinton (I hope)?

And if it's Ms Clinton, your torpedoing of two good Dems in support of a third Dem helps to accomplish what?

[Metric System]

62. It accomplishes nothing. Now tell that to those who continuously post attacks against HRC before the

primaries have started.

[Iggo]

65. When I see DUers attacking Clinton for trying to get Dems elected...

...I'll go after them like I went after you.

[JI7]

71. It's Kentucky

[mother earth]

47. K & R nt

[AikidoSoul]

53. PLEASE use ACTBLUE to donate to these REAL Democrats

I am doing it regularly though I can barely afford it.

Elizabeth Warren is the type of Democrat that I've ALWAYS wanted to see as the head of the pack. She is for the people like Hillary NEVER could be!

Hillary has sold her soul to MAMMON.

[libodem]

56. Yeah baby

[img][/img]

[tooeyeten]

58. Me oh my-o

Another rally where no one showed.



Ask Fox!

[Overseas]

59. K&R. Glad to hear it.

[merrily]

63. I'm sitting here, imagining the US Senate without Mitch.

Not too shabby.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

64. College Republican countered near the end of the article . . .

"You can see from this event there were not a lot of students present," said Aaron Duvall, chair of the UofL college Republicans.

Duvall's group had a handful of members holding a counter rally outside the Red Barn supporting McConnell's re-election and slamming Grimes for embracing a liberal stalwart like Warren.

Is this even true? I can't imagine Kentucky's college students supporting a Republican agenda this year.

[winter is coming]

72. How many students are even there during the summer term?

And since the summer term is often compressed, would students take time off to go to a rally?

[craigmatic]

67. The more she does this the more I want her to run for POTUS. I see now Warren is

a movement democrat.
