On the Democrat candidate Warren.
It’s Biden’s ox she’ll soon be gorin’.
She’ll take him to school.
Make him look like a fool.
It’s depressing, yes, but it’s not borin’.

But is this really inevitable? Is Biden really that vulnerable to the arguments of the female version of Professor Kingsfield?
Not necessarily, in spite of the obvious differences in intellect. Biden is weakest on identity issues; Warren has no advantage there. He has simple answers available to him on realo vs. fundi questions: we can’t afford it without massive tax increases on the middle class; the public doesn’t want that much change so fast; you don’t have a viable way to make it happen, given the composition of the Senate and the judicial system; do we really want to further divide the nation by arguing 24/7/365 over plans that are out of the ideological mainstream and can’t be approved without dramatic changes to our political and legal systems?
Warren will respond by calling these “Republican talking points.” In reality, they are perfectly legitimate fears shared by a large percentage of the electorate, and for the Democrats to simply dismiss them as obstacles that can be overcome by constant fighting with Republicans would be a big mistake.
