[quote=Anonymous]What Warren and others don't realize is that much of their rhetoric goes over the heads of the majority of the electorate - Republican and Democrats.

I am a liberal and out of all of the tweets that flew between Warren and Trump, what is the one that has registered for most people?

It was Trump's moniker for Warren: "Pocahontas"!

With all of the presidential & VP debates what people remember are just a few moments: Ford saying that Eastern Europe was not under Soviet control, Bentsen's put down of Quayle not being anything like JFK, Reagan with his condescending remark to Carter "there you go again", Reagan saying that he would not use Mondale's youth for political advantage in response to charges that Reagan was too old, Gore with his sighing and walking into GWB's space during a debate.

Trump is a master at branding: his "crooked Hillary" moniker will stick because it is catchy and reinforces the image of dishonesty that she has with 60% of the electorate including many Democrats. I don't know if most voters are aware of Warren using her questionable Cherokee heritage in connection with her position at Harvard but constantly calling her Pocohontas will help with branding her as someone who joined Harvard based on questionable antecedents and since many Americans have issues with affirmative action, it shows them how others are getting a leg up at what they perceive to be their advantage.

BTW, I am no supporter of Trump but his branding of opponents works whether one likes it or not. Of course, Trump has his own problems.[/quote]
