Stephanie Ruhle's attempt to roll Warren surrogate Katie Porter fails miserably

EW attacked Bloomberg and not Sanders, why, for the love of my network bosses, why?!?!?

Porter’s systematic dismantling of this line of attack is a thing to behold:

with a cabinet position and go on to become president. She's amazing... and a lot more intelligent than those who try to outwit her.

Because she understands how they are gaming our system and how to stop them.

Support the candidate you think is best for this moment.

Yet, always remember the GOP will kneecap anyone dangerous to them-- especially someone as dangerous as Elizabeth Warren.

Democrats be aware and do not let the GOP handcuff us by undermining our righteous warriors.

Are you suggesting democrats want to primary our best voice on financial fairness?

Doubt it.

Not a Twitter fan here. Nonetheless, if this is trending, common sense can assure you this emanates from the many rent seekers we have parasiting our economy, terrified Senator Warren will enact policies that goar their hides.

Senator Warren is a plutocrat's nightmare whether in the White House or in the Senate.

When Nancy Pelosi steps down from the speakership...which will always be earlier than I would like...we need someone like Katie prepping to eventually take over. She would light people like Trump on fire and then hand out the marshmallows.

who would be a good next Speaker and I agree with you, Porter would be a good choice. She's calm and reasonable while able to succinctly and politely set everyone straight. That is one of Pelosi's great talents.

Porter is especially good at letting the opposition hang themselves by asking a series of questions that paint the opposition into a corner. She is also good at doing her homework as well as researching things involving numbers. She always knows where every dollar is in every report.

Congress could use about 100 of her.

We devalue serious people in politics at our peril, which is unfortunately what has happened. I thought it was bad in the Reagan era; that was ancient Greece compared to where we are now.
